We’re a fickle bunch, TV critics, and the demand for our attention is intense. So the publicists of various TV networks drive themselves to ever-greater heights of creativity to package their DVDs with various swag items to pique our interest.

It is apparently meant to be drinkable, although it does not go into detail over what the beverage is. And I cannot entirely be sure that I do not have mortal enemies in the TNT PR department. For now, then, the can will remain on my desk unopened. And I can report that Leverage has more vitamin B6 than almost any show on television.
