devil and the deep blue sea
A new Dotty product. Drinking water for specially stressful occasions.
Sure, there's Gatorade for those thirsty days of sports playing and Powerade for weightlifters and Pedialyte for dehydrated children, but now there's Dotty's Deluge. Your hydration needs are far greater than those other folks. Oh yes, for your special situations you will need a variety specific to you.
Stuck choosing between two miserable options? Don't drink at the bar, drink the "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" variety of the Deluge. The red at the top and the blue at the bottom--does it mean anything at all?
What's so special? All of Dotty's drinks assume a world of binary options. You can have one thing or the other. That's how the world works. Dotty's drinks have two colors in one bottle. Drinking straight from the bottle results in tasting one flavor and then the next. Little or no mixing occurs.
How do Dotty's drinks differ from others? Well! When you shake Dotty's Deluge drinks, the colors merge, creating beautiful shades of green and purple and violet. It is at this point that the reality of multiple solutions becomes evident. The world is no longer full of binary choices! Rock and a hard place? Here or there? Near or far? Less or more? In or out?
Forget it! There's so much more to life!
It's even better than that, though.
If multiple solutions become too overwhelming, just wait and the colors will separate themselves again.
Mmm mm! Moral dilemmas in a bottle! So easy to solve! Just shake and drink!
