Mayday mayday! Things got a little risqué over the weekend and all of our Baberaham Lincolns were sucked dry. From now until Thursday, we'll be including an Ol' Glory with every 3 Freakers you order instead of Baberaham! Kapish? Kapish!

Did anybody notice that we did the entire month of June Freaker Fridays in liquids? It wasn't an accident. It was our way of pre-gaming the month of July. Why? Simply because it was the most American thing we could think of to do. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: This week we have five care packages to give away featuring the American Era pack of bitters from Dutch Spirits! The story of Dutch Bitters involves boozy mobsters, treasure hunts in the Catskills, hidden underground distilleries, and a badass view for the future. Oh, and their bitters are pretty great also. "Inspired by our nation’s colorful history, we’ve crafted bold new recipes blending unique flavors from each era to create a truly distinctive line of cocktail bitters." The American Era pack includes Colonial, Boomtown, and ProhiBitters flavored bitters. (ProhiBitters! PROHIBITTERS! DO YOU GET IT OR NO, GUYS?!) Each care package also comes with a Baberaham Lincoln Freaker! HOW TO ENTER:What's the most American thing you've ever seen? Find this graphic on Facebook and leave a photo comment with your answer for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

We're eternally proud that the USA is extreeeeeeeeeeemly good at most things. Hotdogs? Pretty sure we rule the world in hotdogs. Puppies? We're eternally proud that the USA is extreeeeeeeeeeemly good at most things. Hotdogs? Pretty sure we rule the world in hotdogs. Puppies? Our office alone could dominate a dingo-thon. The word "self evident," Willie Nelson & Snoop Dogg duets, Batman movies…As a nation, we're so good at it all! Except for one thing: Containing our World Cup excitement. We blame that on the "high self-esteem" our middle school guidance counselors gave us. Bam bam bam kow pow ding dong GOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!

The USA is notorious for many things, including an intense love for hotdogs, the Fast & Furious film series, and our uncanny talent of "not giving a shit about the World Cup."  It's an insane skill, and a rare one.  For a brief moment earlier this week we failed at this thing we're suppose to be so good at. We failed by winning. Do you know how good it feels to win? It feels this good:    We won we won we won! More importantly... we cared! Keep it up, boys!   (Video stolen from the Wilmington Hammerheads! Photo stolen from GeeGaryGreg! Dignity stolen from Ghana!)

Once upon a time there was an epic battle. It went a little something like this: Newman: Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel, Friday has a feel, Sunday has a feel…. Kramer: I feel Tuesday and Wednesday… I feel YOU, Kramer. And also Wednesday. Let's climb that proverbial weekday hill together. Today, we're celebrating the wonkiness and splendor of the much under-appreciated midweek. Keep doin you, Hump Day... ya weirdo. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker family... Hump Day!

Monday Night Football? GOT THIS. 

Once upon a time, we exclusively ordered gin & tonics at our favorite local restaurants (I'm looking at you, Rx & Manna) because the simplicity and genius of the classic cocktail went far beyond normal expectations. The skies would open and rain gin. And tonic. And happiness. The inexplicable perfection of these gin and tonics could only be found at these two restaurants. It was obvious that there was a secret ingredient. They knew something that we didn't. Then we found out what it was. And now we're here to share it with you. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: This week we have five care packages to give away featuring the small-batch tonic from Jack Rudy Cocktail Co! "We believe we’ve managed to create the closest possible thing to a perfect Gin & Tonic." The fine folks at Jack Rudy speak the truth. Our gin game was forever changed when we finally discovered this secret ingredient. Each bottle comes from a small batch handcrafted in the South and the company is a family operation out of Charleston, South Carolina and Lexington, Kentucky - the perfect cherry to this southern charm pie. Each care package also comes with a Don't Go Bacon My Heart Freaker! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Twitter and let us know what your secret ingredient is with the hashtag #JackFreaky for your chance to win!

Breaking news: This mommy blog JUST COMPARED FREAKERS TO PIZZA.  Today is over and it's not yet 11 am. Game on.     

We're not comparing ourselves to Batman here - we would never do that. If we were to hypothetically compare ourselves to Batman though, we would start with the cave situation.  The National Freaker Inquirer is proud to break this very novel story: Inside the Freaker Cave! An arguably-first ever look inside the brick chaos that makes up the secretive Freakerville world headquarters. 

We keep hearing that bacon is a trend. A novelty. A passing of the wind. To be fair, there are multiple things passing in the wind when it comes to fatty fried fad foods - but let's leave bacon out of this. Bacon is here to stay. Bacon is eternal. Bacon is love. And you know it. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker family... Don't Go Bacon My Heart!
