OKCupid has an update to everyone’s profile now so you can “Send Drink” to someone. I studied this button very closely, afraid to press it for fear or what could happen.
I went to a friend’s page, where at least I knew if I clicked the button and something really weird happened, the most that would happen to me is I would be ridiculed. *Click*
It allows me to send a message – and not a drink – to said person.
OKCupid – I don’t get it! I kind of imagined it was like “SuperPoke” on Facebook. “Soon2BeCatLady just threw a drink at you!” Or better yet, have a drink show up at someone’s home. I’d be okay with that.
This message doesn’t even indicate that I had clicked the “Send Drink” button. This is lame. Why should I click that instead of the “Send Message” button? Nothing makes the “Send Drink” button more fun, except that it’s a different color.
Through talking with friends, and comments on this blog entry, I have come to determine that it is either one of two things:
1) A paid ad from Smirnoff… which (although it is kind of working because people are talking about it, or are at very least intrigued) really isn’t cool.
2) (And I hope it’s reason #2) Because there is now an “official OkCupid USB beer/scotch/vodka/tequila/wine dispenser” (Kudos to The Pink Phantom..)
Wait, you don’t have the official OkCupid USB beer/scotch/vodka/tequila/wine dispenser?

I don’t have such a button… I feel cheated. Even though I’d never use it, I want one too!
That and the dispenser… 🙂

That is why you can’t see it- because it’s a paid ad – and you don’t get ads on A-List.
