It ’s not every day you get to blare your admirer in the face with a jet stream full of bubbly out of a rose gold tommy gas . So whenJeremy " King of Sparklers " Touitouemailed Thrillist ’s entire editorial team to ask if any adventurous mortal would fancy a go , I was manifestly like , " OK , LOL , " and he was like , " Sounds good . "
Three 24-hour interval later I had my manus aroundmy own bona fide $ 450(but , astonishingly … um , plastic ) Champagne hired gun . All I needed was a couple magnum bottle of ' pagne and a willing victim , and I ’d be in occupation . So I refused to do any work until my boss let me expense two magnum bottles of Champagne . They tolerate .
I grabbedmy close friend / spot rivalJeremy " Do n’t utter about how manyFleshlightsI’ve sleep with " Glass , and took to the streets of SoHo , where , fortunately , you may almost legally drink / spray alcoholic beverage in public now . We tell all the tourists to back the eff off , and I let this sucker squander .

A couple of things about this Champagne gun . There ’s no trigger . You just shake the affair as vigorously as you may until it spurts . Ha . Ha . I could make a antic about prom night , but I ’m keep that for later .
Another thing – and award , I may not have been doing it correctly , because like any ego - respecting dude I throw off any and all instruction manuals immediately – it backfired hard . Maybe it was the karma police . perhaps I had a defective model . It does n’t really weigh , because now , I ’m pluck in Champagne , and the same editors who financed my bottles are making me write this before I exchange my clothes .
It was wet , sticky , and right in front of everyone . Just like promenade nighttime . ( There it is . )
So , sure , I ’m imbrue in cheap Champagne , my admirer made me buy him new chinos , and at least three tourist cogitate , " Only in New York , amirite ? ! ? " – but at least I read something .
Oh wait , no I did n’t . But it was still pretty blasted fun .
