Why Wine and Dine? When You Can Wine and Pollute!

Now two evils in one! Kill your liver and the environment, with one easy single serve wine in a plastic cup!  You'll be the envy of your friends by proving that indeed you do have more ass than class with Le Froglet Wine!

Single serve= single gal! It's just not sexy to hate the earth and your pallet to that extent, tsk, tsk!  Buy a bottle share it with some friends.  Sure you have to have a cork screw but then again, I've never trusted a gentleman who did not carry a Swiss army knife.


Satan, himself describes it as glue and tin foil  top notes with just a hint of Bisphenol-A.  Sure to linger in the environment, for as long as the memory of this wine, laced with chemicals leached from it's packaging, lingers in you!

''I pulled at the foil and nothing budged. I then remembered yoghurt top syndrome where you can easily cover yourself with the gooey stuff within... It gave way with a muted pop and droplets of red wine showered the wall. A small victory for my shirt, and a disaster for the paintwork." Charlie, cluelessaboutwine.co.uk.  Apparently, he took two sips after getting past the sharp foil and plastic edge of the glass and spit it out into the sink- quelle suprise!  You'd think that something that was destroying the planet would be at best functional and at least quaffable- quelle dommage!

The back story on all this is that the inventor. whom I shall not glorify here brought the invention to the UK's Dragon Den and was unilaterally rejected by every Dragon.  His pitch was that was that it is for people who want an "impromptu picnic" and for commuters to enjoy it on the way home on the train.  Kill me if my dates ever so stupid as to put so little effort into a picnic that they feel the need to use alcohol in plastic cups to impress.  I'm sure only a lady of  ill repute and an environmental conscience to match would be impressed by Le Froglet.  Once you cut your lip on the packaging I'm sure you'll be in the mood for a kiss.

In an age where we are all Greening out bedrooms as well as our courtship habits, surely this product is never going to be an aid to L'Amour.  Only a leisure suit Larry would think to pull this move, one wonders if he would also try to serve you a Hungry Man's TV dinner followed by  Capri-Sun fruit drink for breakfast?  Surely this retro-sexual is extinct, then again I found this: advise for single men on e-how.  Ladies if you ever do encounter this beast or his single serve wine beverage, be sure and point out, that this is specifically the reason that you are ending the date.   Hopefully he will learn from his environmental faux pas!

Love, Victoria x

  1. Great article. Some people just don’t get it. I guess common sense just isn’t all that common anymore.
    What a great way to not impress a date….the non-eco picnic, two le froglets and two canwiches loaded into a doubled up plastic bag.

  2. thanks for your comment everyone should totally take their dates to your cafe the eco laundry room on the danforth! A man doing the laundry is like porn for women ;)

  3. That explains a lot. I do wash and fold for a spa in Rosedale. A few have asked if they are my personal towels…yes I own 16 loads of towels. Lol
