But beyond my pure enjoyment of their drinks, I have a
It all started with my tattoo. I got my first tattoo in 1996. The design was simple. I wanted lizards. My name is Liz. People call me Lizard. Obviously the first thing I would have permanently tattooed onto my skin should be lizards. I showed up at the tattoo parlor and told the artist what I was thinking of. He took a week to design my tat. It came out better than I could have imagined. Two lizards... in a yin yang. Fitting for me as I am always in search of balance.
Here is the finished product.
It was original, one of kind. That is until Sobe decided to release their lovely new drink.
What?????
I have spent years swearing to people that I did not have the Sobe logo tattooed on myself.
The conversation usually goes something like this...
Some stranger - "Hey, what's your tattoo?"
Me - "It's two lizards in a yin yang."
Stranger - "Isn't it the Sobe logo?"
Me - "No. Why the &*#$ would I tattoo a drink logo on my back?"
Stranger - "I don't know but it's definitely the Sobe logo!"
Me - "Oh go $&%# yourself."
Okay... I'm probably not quoting myself completely accurately but I promise that's what's going through my head.
Okay... back on track. Sobe Lean Energy (along with all Sobe bottles) have funny little sayings on the inside of the cap. I think that Sobe is secretly planting certain bottle caps in my fridge for certain days.
For instance:
Smarter not Harder.
This one was opened by me at the end of a 15 hour day at work. Oh really Sobe? You couldn't have mentioned that at hour 8?
Bring on the Catwalk.
I opened this one after a morning of Wii Fit.
Kev Bounce.
Well... I still haven't translated this one but my husband's name happens to start with Kev. (Hoping that Sobe's not inferring that he should "bounce".)
Not My Scene.
I opened this at Michael's school dropping him off the other morning. That was as all the Mom's who don't have to rush off to work were planning to hit the Coffee Bean and "catch up". "Sorry you can't come Liz" they told me. I wouldn't have called it the most sincere. I looked down at my Sobe lid... and remembered... Not My Scene.
Respek the Lizard.
Clearly the mother of all Sobe lids. No explaining necessary.
Respek the Lizard.
Words to live by.
(Now if I could just get that through to my son...)

ok, those are ridiculous! I love it!!
I can also say- I've never had a sobe so I wouldn't have asked you that tattoo question. :)but I do have an ankh on my foot and everyone says "oh, like the Erika Badu Tattoo!" No buttswipe, like the ancient egyptian symbol of fertility. And I was sporting it first.
