About Ideas

Frosty Mugs
Origins: Summer 2004

Ever sat around with a group of friends, smoking your 100% legal tobacco products, and thought "Gee willickers, there must be a radder way to ingest copious amounts of smoke"?

Sure you have. And thankfully, Frosty Mugs is a relatively easy and street-savvy way to inhale. All the gangbangers down in the Bronx are hitting this shit, and now you can too! I can't claim credit for this idea, as I was introduced to Frosty Mugs at Chateau Wellhauser one balmy summer eve, but as far as I know nobody has packaged the Mugs for internet consumption. So let's get started!

This is a frosty mug, in case you're lost. Jen is holding it. Jen
is not the mug.

What you'll need:

>> Frosty mugs. You can get these at corporate retreats, the dollar store or any fine frosty mug retailers in your local village. Make sure you have at least 2 or 3 (they get unfrosty fast).

>> A straw. Substitutes are acceptable, as you'll soon discover.

>> A nicely rolled one-paper, filled with tasty tobacco. I suppose you could use other substances too, like marijuana, but that would be highly illegal! (note: only highly illegal in the USA. In Canada it's fine.)

>> Thirsty lungs.

Step 1: Assemble the Troops

Gather the Goods
OH NO! NO STRAW!!!!! Improvisation is the key to successful
Frosty Mug ventures. Also preparedness.

Make sure your mugs have been in the freezer for a good long while - at least several hours. You need them to be thrillingly cold.

If you don't have a straw handy, any thin cylinder will do! We used the gutted tube from a pen and it worked better than a Mexican migrant labourer. MUCH better: human beings make poor substitutes for straws.

Whoever's rolling needs to make sure that the inhaling end of their joint - er, tobacco joint - will fit comfortably inside the straw/pen tube/Mexican. We found that you get the best results when you 'choke up' the joint - push it in until it's half inside the tube, half protruding out the top.

Step 2: Give'r

DRINK IT LIKE IT'S YOUR JOB!

Okay, so now you wanna be stuffing the joint down into your tube-device. Stuff it good!

Okay, excellent stuffing. Now light up the joint and puff a few times through the pen like you're Hunter S. Thompson. You need to make sure that it's lit fo-real-real and not fo-play-play. No funny business.

Here comes the tricky part. Remember back in high school when you would blow Supers for girls as an excuse to make out with them at bush parties? Yes. Yes you do. A Super, for the sadly uninitated, is when you put the lit end of a joint in your mouth and exhale instead of inhaling. You will probably burn the shit out of your tongue the first couple times you try this. And the roof of your mouth. And maybe your tonsils too, if you're that kind of person. Anyways, you'll get it eventually and then you'll want to blow a Super directly into a frosty mug. See Exhibit A picture below for complex technical diagrams.

The smoke will sit nicely in the mug, seething and frothing in a delicious maelstrom of mist. See, the bonding particles in frosty mugs have improper sexual relations with the smoke, and then the smoke sticks around afterwards to see if it can get a sandwich or something. The frosty mug really just wants to go to sleep - it has important client meetings in the morning - but first that damnable smoke has to leave. This is where you come in.

Tilt the mug back and inhale the smoke deep into your gaping maw. It will be cool and refreshing and unlikely to singe even the most virginal lungs! Don't wait too long to drink though, as the smoke will start to drift and escape and waterfall over the edges of the mug. It looks pretty rad but it's a shameful waste.

Repeat as needed until you see God.

Furthermore

>> Even though it may be tempting, do not relegate the best Super-blower to a full-time position. It's a shitty job and, to be fair, everyone should take a turn.

>> We've toyed with the idea of filling half of the Frosty Mug with beer or a mixed drink for a combo effect. This blend will henceforth be known as Frosty Chugs. It will probably kill you.
