I have, here on the desk beside me, a take-out cup from the Genghis Grill. If you're unfamiliar with the restaurant chain, all you really need to know is this: They're a choose-your-own-ingredients stir-fry place with a Genghis Khan motif, so their branding tends to focus on warrior imagery and puns on the word "khan".
Case in point: my carry-out cup. It has the Genghis Grill logo on the front, of course. Then, on the back, it offers the following... um... proverb? Slogan? Anyway:
Warriors Don't Sip
THEY GULP
I have two issues with this:
- The techical term is "quaff".
- How do straws figure into this, anyway?
In their defense, I imagine that using a cup with a plastic lid and a straw
does make you rather less likely to spill your soda on your horse while you're riding into battle...
Where's the cup holder on the horse, or is it extra? I knew I should have gotten the optional package...
