I've been getting on this dietary supplement I found a little while ago, and it's done great things for my mood and energy level. It's a pouch of jelly called VAAM, and it looks like this.





I'm not sure what these things are. They're the wrong color for elf tears, which is a damn shame.



But this is a reference to the synthetic hornet secretions VAAM contains. Supposedly, they let the human body turn fat into energy more efficiently, the way the Asian Giant Hornet does. I normally wouldn't be inclined to believe it, but since I already believe in magical soda, I'm fully prepared to accept that VAAM gives me hornet powers.

What powers, you ask?

How about the power to kill a yak?

No, seriously, Wikipedia says they're nicknamed the "yak-killer hornet". You really couldn't ask for a better setup to a Tenacious D reference.

Anyway, I'm basically hooked on the stuff. I suppose it's possible that all that hornet essence will cause me to develop less desirable Giant Hornet traits, like cruelty and a poisonous sting, but by the time anyone notices that, it'll be far too late to stop me.
