Editing The Pen Addict 725/transcript (section)

== Drink Local ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' They've gone hard on this one. And I always appreciate that. So we'll have a link in the show notes so you can go learn about everything they're doing for this set. Palettas is essentially like a Mexican fruit popsicle. Just a classic, classic treat, sweet treat, especially in the summer. And there's a big, you know, Chicago Mexican population that has kept this going. And they tell the story of, you know, like one of the shops in the area. And it's just really, really cool to see. The video, obviously, we have always talked about their videos. Their videos are cool. I was watching them make the popsicles. They have this really sick freezing machine. I was like, how does this thing work? I want to know more about this freezing machine. But the real reason I subscribed is because normally if I find an edition I like, I'll just grab a pack, right? And I don't really need to subscribe because then like the last two packs didn't really do anything for me. One of them was, I don't know if it was called Penny, the last one. And then the previous one with the sideways ones, like those were fine, like whatever. So I like to pick and choose my own. But there was no wrong selection in pack A, pack B, pack C. Each of them are all, you know, fruit based. And have these cool color textures on the covers. They have a dot grid that's like a yellow dot grid, which is one of my favorite like grid or dot grid markings is having the yellow like they did drink local. That was one of my favorite ones because it was a yellow. It was a yellow graph paper. This is a yellow dot. And I just couldn't be more into this just from in the colorfulness, the style of the story, like all of it. Like I'm they just drew me right back in. Myke, I don't know what you think about these.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I like some of the designs. I don't like all of the designs. I think there's a few of them that they look like something's wrong with the paper.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' True. Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You're not wrong. Which kind of turns me off a little bit. But the there are a few of them that just look amazing. Like the green one, the blue one, like all of the real all of the solid color ones. I love. Yes. The ones where it's mixed in. It's a bit more hit and miss for me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I agree. I totally agree. But they did such a good job that there's like one or two in each pack that is really good. You can't just pick one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They must have used an excellent camera to take these photos. Yeah. Yeah. Scanned, I guess. Well, I don't know how they did it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Probably. Probably. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Probably good camera. Yeah. They're really cool. So, you know what? I don't have any business getting like nine, nine new field notes and notebooks. So, you know, I don't know what I'll do with all these, but I just really, I don't know. This one kind of like checked all my boxes for, you know, wanting a product. Like, plus I haven't bought any in a while. It's been like several editions since I've bought any. So, and since I couldn't decide, it was easier to just, you know, if I'm going to get three packs, you might as well do the sub because it would be, you know, like 45 bucks if I was just going to buy one of each of the packs. They're like 14.95 each. Right. For a three pack of each. Well, the sub was like 120 for the year and you get all three. So, and then, then get everything else that comes with the next one. So, I don't know. Big fan. We hadn't talked about them in a while. And I think this one's going to do like super, super well.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The one, for me, the one miss on this is that there isn't like a box.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What do you mean?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, oh, like a packaging? Yeah. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like, so, yeah. Drink Local, the Crop Edition, they all came in like a box, a special box. Do you remember this?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, like Drink Local had like the six pack holder. Yeah. Like, like a little cardboard boxy type of thing. I think this is probably because there's nine notebooks instead of like six plus something. Right. And the Drink Locals had coasters. This would be cool if they came in like the, like the popsicle packaging. Yeah. Just the clear cellophane with like a logo on it. That'd be sick. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's the one miss for me. And this is it. Yeah. It hasn't got like a thing to it, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm looking forward to these. It's going to be hard to know which one to pick. I'm probably going to go into.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Also, there is, I've missed this. There is something. There is a transparent backing card for each. Oh, let's see here. Which looks like the packaging. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. A Paletta. That looks nice. That's nice. I like that. I like that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, yeah, that's like the classic popsicle logo. Like, if you're in the store, like, you go, you watch the video and you go in the store and it's like all postered up, right, from like all these like artwork and things like that. So, yeah, there you go. That's fun. The Paletta wrapper. That's fun. Perfect. Exactly what I was thinking. So, yeah. Good call. Good call out. Yeah. Looks great. So, I'm looking forward to getting these and maybe have to bring one to, they come in time to Stationery Fest. Yeah, I'd like to see it. Bring you one too. You can pick out a color. I'll bring you one because I'll have plenty. Just not green because that's going to be my first choice.
