Addressing Hangxiety: Rum Jungle’s New Single ‘Did The Morning Let You Down’
Australian four-piece indie rock band, Rum Jungle admits to being victims of hangxiety in their latest single: “Did The Morning Let You Down.” We’ve all been there before, waking up in the morning with an awful lurking feeling of dread for the actions of our past self, but Rum Jungle is here to help us feel a little less guilty and a little more understood with their new chilled-out anthem.
Lead singer Benny McIntyre shares, “You’d be lying to yourself if there hasn’t been a morning in your life that you’ve not been stoked with the events of the night before or something’s weighing you down and that morning it hits you hard. Mistakes get made, shit goes wrong, everything’s tough for everyone in their own relative state. What this one is about though is pickin’ up and rollin’ on and understanding the world is the way it is, and finding that thing or person or reason to charge on with some sonic stability.”
“Did The Morning Let You Down” is the ultimate laid-back summer anthem, shimmering with jangly indie guitars, upbeat drums, a super catchy chorus, and an overall feel-good vibe.
The song comes right as Rum Jungle kick off their UK/EU tour, so be sure to check out their dates if they’re in a city near you, as their live shows are tipped to be something out of the ordinary.

Skrew the Usual” – Unveiling Skrewball Whiskey’s Revolutionary New Campaign
The Original Peanut Butter Whiskey’s Unique Personality is Brought to Life by the Brand’s Biggest Campaign Drop Since Pernod Ricard Acquisition
NEW YORK, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Skrewball Whiskey, the leading peanut butter whiskey, is proud to unveil its new campaign and rallying cry, “Skrew the Usual,” the brand’s most ambitious launch to date. As the world’s first super-premium peanut butter flavored American whiskey, Skrewball wants people to break away from the ‘same old, same old’ and revel in the surprisingly delicious flavors of life – enter “Skrew the Usual.”
“Skrew the Usual” is more than just a call to action, it embodies the essence of adventure and innovation in each bottle of Skrewball Whiskey. The campaign encourages consumers to break away from monotony and forgo the usuals in life that keep delicious discoveries at bay – in other words, to live by the ‘you only live once’ motto.
“Skrewball wants to inspire consumers to take detours and seek out the weird and wonderful,” said Kuppy Sampale, Brand Director of Skrewball Whiskey at Pernod Ricard. “With the introduction of ‘Skrew the Usual,’ we’re inviting our audience to choose exploration over routine and celebrate trying something new, like the unexpectedly delicious flavor of peanut butter whiskey.”
Visit Skrewball Whiskey’s Offical Website
The campaign signifies a major achievement for Skrewball and is the biggest launch since Pernod Ricard acquired it in 2023. Accompanying the launch is a 30-second creative spot titled “House of High Spirits” along with 15-second and 6-second short films. Central to the campaign is a new fictional spokesperson, Skrew, who brilliantly encapsulates the fun and mischief of Skrewball’s spirit. In the spot, Skrew invites viewers to give into their curiosity and savor the unique peanut butter flavor of Skrewball Whiskey.
“Skrewball continually pushes limits and defies expectations,” stated Steve and Brittany Yeng, the co-founders of Skrewball Whiskey. “We’re excited to extend the ‘Skrew the Usual’ approach to more people through our new campaign and hope that it inspires people to try Skrewball.”
Despite being a relatively new player, having been established in 2018, Skrewball has risen to become the preeminent peanut butter whiskey in the United States, boasting 83% market share. It is also the number two premium brand in the flavored whiskey category ($25+) in terms of value and volume, and the fifth top brand overall—truly remarkable growth.
The campaign, which was conceived by The Martin Agency, will be launched via online video, social and search on Thursday, May 9. Subsequently, notable out-of-home advertisements in key markets such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City are set to roll out in June.
Skrewball Whiskey is available nationwide and at select retailers in Canada, Puerto Rico, and Central America. It is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the star ingredient in a variety of inventive cocktails and shots, like Island of Misfits and Salty Nuts.

ABOUT SKREWBALL PEANUT BUTTER WHISKEY
Skrewball Whiskey was founded by Steven Yeng, a Cambodian refugee, and his wife Brittany, a former chemist who became a lawyer. Steven discovered his love of peanut butter shortly after arriving in the United States. Later, he began to integrate the quintessential, American nut butter into a top-selling cocktail at a bustling downtown Ocean Beach (San Diego) bar he ran. Seeing the popularity, Brittany would take Steven’s bestselling shot and help turn it into a shelf-stable whiskey with her chemistry background. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey has won several awards, including the Best Flavored Whiskey award at the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition. The brand rapidly expanded in the US, Canada, and the Caribbean. For more information, visit www.skrewballwhiskey.com.

Troublesome Couple Evicted From EasyJet Flight After Empty Vodka Bottle Incident
The duo, who have not been named, had reportedly boozed on duty-free vodka on the plane from Tenerife South to London Gatwick at 2am yesterday morning – but were met by police on arrival
Shocking footage has captured the moment two rowdy Brits who had been allegedly boozing on a flight from
Tenerife were thrown off a flight by
The duo, who have not been named, had reportedly boozed on duty-free vodka on the
plane from Tenerife South to
London Gatwick at 2am on Wednesday. The airline has since confirmed officers boarded the plane upon landing back in the UK due to disruption onboard. Shocking video filmed on board shows the couple being escorted off the aircraft by three
Sussex Police officers – sparking cheers from their fellow passengers.
Were you on this flight? Contact us at webnews@mirror.co.uk
Witnesses claim the pair were “rowdy” throughout the flight before the police were called. A passenger who filmed them being ejected from the aircraft said: “A police officer emptied the passenger’s handbag onto the tarmac and a 1 litre vodka bottle that appeared to be almost empty fell out. They were both in a bad way.”
A spokesperson for easyJet said: “easyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time. Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority.” The Mirror has contacted Sussex Police for comment.
It comes after a travel blogger warned against passengers bringing their own alcohol aboard a flight. The reason isn’t that the airline can sell more of their own booze, but for safety reasons. “Please, please, please do not bring personal alcohol and consume it during the flight. We need to know (for your safety and those around you) if you are intoxicated,” Lisa Kulper told the Points Guy.
“By serving you alcohol in flight, we can monitor how much you are drinking. Alcohol affects you differently at higher altitudes, and if you are suddenly passed out or something goes wrong, we won’t know the reason.” As well as potentially causing flight attendants some issues – particularly if you go really overboard with the drink – it could land you in hot water if you’re flying in the wrong country. In the US consuming personal alcohol on a flight can lead to a hefty fine.
Lisa identified that this is a federal violation in the United States, which could result in a fine of thousands of pounds. In the United Kingdom, you’re permitted to carry alcohol on the plane as long as it’s purchased in the airside departure lounge, it’s closed, and its alcohol content is lower than 70% ABV. It should also be stored either in an airport shopping bag or in your cabin bag. Passengers are prohibited from consuming any alcohol while flying unless it was purchased onboard.

Turning Wastewater into Beer: the Innovative German Approach
Reuse Brew is a classic German lager with a twist — it’s made from recycled wastewater.
The beer is the result of a collaboration between the South German city of Weissenburg, American water tech company Xylem, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). In particular, TUM’s Brewery and Beverage Technology department put their expertise to good use.
Even though the concept of a sewage brew might seem repulsive, Xylem assures that all harmful elements are filtered out before the malt, hops, and yeast are integrated.
Firstly, a machine infuses ozone into the wastewater. Then, the sludge is exposed to UV radiation and bombarded with hydrogen peroxide. Lastly, it is put through various carbon and nano filters.
This process removes 99.999% of all chemicals and contaminants. The end result is clean, fresh water that you can use to drink, water your plants, or…make beer.
TNW Conference – Are you an investor? This message is for you!
Meet with the hottest startups and uncover your next venture on June 20-21. Hurry! Price increase May 17.
Reuse Brew is a Bavarian Helles — a traditional German pale lager beer. “It has a pleasant freshness that is complemented by a slight malty sweetness and a subtle bitter note,” Xylem’s Marlies Poppe tells TNW.
“Reuse Brew isn’t just a beverage; it’s a conversation starter, sparking discussions about water conservation, resource efficiency, and the endless possibilities of sustainable brewing practices.”
While this might sound radical, turning wastewater into tap water is nothing out of the ordinary. NASA astronauts turn their pee into water to prevent the need for further resupply missions. Stricken by drought, California even approved its first standards for turning sewage into drinking water last year.
If you think about it, we’ve probably all drunk wastewater at some point in our lives.
When you flush, your waste goes down a pipe to a treatment works. Here it is purified and then discharged into a river or lake. Eventually this very same water gets pumped back into a well for drinking once more.
Nevertheless, most people don’t think of it that way. The “yuck” factor of “toilet-to-tap” has prevented widespread adoption of wastewater recycling. Until now.
“The source of water should not determine its value, but rather its safety and quality,” said Professor Jörg E. Drewes of TUM.
Demand for water is higher than ever. But climate change is bringing worse droughts and extreme weather events that are disrupting supply. In the future, recycling wastewater may become the norm.
If you’d like to crack open a Reuse Brew yourself, Xylem will be serving the beer at the upcoming IFAT event in Munich, which runs from May 13 to 17. Cheers!
Update (09:45AM CET, May 8, 2024): This article previously, incorrectly, stated that Xylem would sell bottles of Reuse Brew. It will in fact only serve the beer, not sell it.

Stunning Wine Bottles that are Worth Buying for Their Look (and Their Great Taste, Too!)
Laura Riches embarked on a unique endeavor when she launched Laylo, a company that delivers wine in a box. The packaging was a significant aspect of the overall concept, with every variety showcasing customized artwork. The design process involved extensive conversations with the wine producers and an exploration of local artistry ranging from textiles to visual arts. The French sauvignon blanc caught my attention, its packaging reflecting the winemaker’s life story in a charming toile-de-Jouy-style.
The wine industry is not limiting its creativity to Laylo. A growing number of wines are appearing in beautifully adorned cans and boxes, adding visual appeal to the drinking experience. This approach is a significant change from the past when the wine’s label design could inadvertently affect the consumers’ perception of its quality. Patterned and colorful labels were often associated with inferior quality, although Château Mouton Rothschild was a notable exception. This famous winery created a trend by using artwork designed by renowned artists on its wine labels.
Sourcing Table is another fine example, where every wine sold seems to have been selected for aesthetic appeal. Look also at the innovative ‘Don’t Feed the Ponies’ series created by Sharpham at Sandridge Barton in Devon. This collection includes unique wines such as a light red crafted from four varieties of ‘pinot’ grapes, an orange wine, and a cloudy sparkling ‘col fondo’ style. Like the proseccos under the same name, it undergoes fermentation first in a tank, then in a bottle. Each wine from the Don’t Feed the Ponies collection is named after a natural feature in Dartmoor and displays a distinctive label created by a local artist.
A post shared by Sharpham Wine at our new home (@sandridgebarton)
A clever label can also tell a story. Brit Katie Jones, who makes gorgeous wines in the rugged Languedoc, has a wine called Along Came Jones Hairy Grenache. The label features a comic-strip with Jones as the hero, who discovers she’s growing a type of grenache that’s different to everyone else’s.
Others simply stand out. There’s a school of labels whose backgrounds are a high-saturation, single-block colour, like the lapis blue of Domaine Equis’ Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage, or the strong red of the Grand Aven of Vignerons Ardéchois (both of these wines are sold by Yapp).
None of this is to say that supermarkets and discount chains are slacking. Two of the most beautiful labels among this year’s crop are on bottles of Greek wine in Aldi. I love the octopus whose golden tentacles wind around the assyrtiko-syrah rosé.
Speaking of rosé, in this aisle it’s not just the label that is highly stylised. There are square bottles, round bottles, bottles that are squat and bottles that are tall with voluptuous curves; bottles whose glass forms pleat-like ridges to refract sunlight in glittering patterns, and bottles made from chunky glass with the palest hint of green. Some, like Whispering Angel spin-offs The Beach and The Pale (which features a sketch of café society), have labels that allude to the holiday feeling you might hope to have when you’re drinking them.
Drunk Teaching Assistant Exposed After Student Accidentally Consumes Vodka from Her Soft Drink Bottle
Alexandra ‘Nicole’ Ligon Lambert was arrested after a student at Morgan County Middle School in Georgia, US, allegedly drank vodka from a Mountain Dew bottle she had in her possession.
A teaching assistant stumbled into a problematic situation when a student by chance drank from her vodka-laden bottle, mixing it up for a soft drink.
The incident occurred when a male pupil from Morgan County Middle School in Georgia, US, snagged a Mountain Dew from the staff member’s stash. The bottle was later found to be owned by 39-year-old Alexandra “Nicole” Ligon Lambert.
After taking a swig, he immediately discerned that the green label bottle housed something apart from his anticipated soft drink. The student then discarded the drink and proceeded to inform another teacher.

The teacher reported the incident to the principal’s office on Thursday afternoon. Lambert was confronted about the concealed alcohol and eventually admitted to accidentally bringing it to school.
Police arrived at the school around 1:15pm. Lambert was found to be three times over the state’s legal drink-drive limit of 0.08, with a breathalyzer test revealing a value of 0.259. Due to her intoxicated state, she was not permitted to drive home and police carried on with their investigation.
An empty bottle, once filled with vodka and camouflage as water, was found in the bin where a student had discarded it. Lambert had to face the harsh reality of being charged with public drunkenness and disorderly conduct before being transported to Morgan County Sheriff’s Office Adult Detention Facility.
A message to parents and guardians of County Charter Schools students last week read: “The Middle School administration was informed today of a potential issue involving an employee’s water bottle containing alcohol. Law enforcement was promptly notified and an investigation ensued.

“It was subsequently confirmed that alcohol was indeed present, leading to the immediate arrest of the employee by the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office. As this is a personnel matter, we cannot provide further comments at this time, but we can confirm that the individual is no longer employed with our district.
“The safety of our staff and students is paramount, and we take all incidents seriously. We have zero tolerance for any behaviour that could jeopardize their well-being. We will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement and appreciate the support of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office.”
Lamber was taken into custody at the Adult Detention Facility of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office.
This incident follows a case where a teacher, accused of engaging in inappropriate behavior with her 11-year-old student, was dubbed as an “attention seeker” and a “selfie queen” by enraged parents from the school where she worked. Madison Bergmann, a 24-year-old educator from River Crest Elementary School in Hudson, Wisconsin, was suspended after the mother of a student allegedly heard her son having a not suitable conversation with his teacher over the phone, and discovered supposed texts between Bergmann and the young student.
Bergmann faces a charge of first-degree child sexual assault. She was allowed to leave custody after posting a $25,000 signature bond, placed on administrative leave, and forbidden from having any contact with other students, parents, or staff from the school district.

Unveiling the World’s Finest Beers: Winners of The Oldest Beer Competition
A judge examines a beer during The International Brewing Awards.
The International Brewing Awards have been recognizing the world’s best beers since 1886—the oldest beer competition in the world. The International Cider Awards were added in 2013.
Judging for the awards is conducted only by working professionals in brewing and cider making and awards are given after discussion and consensus, rather than scoring and averaging. Most beer awards are judged by a mix of industry professionals and trained judges, making the International Brewing Awards unique in having the beverages judged by other brewers and cider makers.
For the 2024 awards, 31 beer judges and nine cider judges from 15 countries evaluated almost 600 beers and over 100 ciders. Judges were selected from small craft breweries and cideries to the largest brewing companies in the world.
Ruth Evans, director of the awards and CEO of the Brewing, Food & Beverage Industry Suppliers Association which runs the awards, mentioned in a video interview that the longevity of these awards makes them a good indicator of the global trend in the beer and cider industries. She pointed out that the number of entries was lower this year due to the difficulties faced by the beer and cider industries. Conversely, during favorable years, the number of entries could be twice as many.
“We saw an increased number of entries from Japan and a decreased number of entries from Australia,” remarked Evans, revealing the contrasting directions the beer industry is taking in these countries. “There was a noticeable increase in entries for Non & Low Alcohol, while Strong Beer decreased. The Specialty Beer category remained strong, thanks to the consistent outstanding performance by Japan.”
The International Brewing Awards and The International Cider Awards publicized their 2024 trophy winners on May 1. The winners were selected from the 30 gold-medal winning beers and 13 gold-medal winning ciders that were announced previously on March 22. Trophy winners are determined by the collective panel of judges, unlike the medals which are awarded by panels of six judges. The 2024 trophy winners include:
International Smallpack (cans or bottles) Lager Competition — Kirin Ichiban, Kirin Holdings Company of Japan
International Keg Lager Competition — Capital Dry Hopped Lager, Windsor & Eton Brewery of the United Kingdom
International Smallpack Ale Competition (two trophies awarded) — Barley Griffin, BentSpoke Brewing Co of Australia and Samuel Adams Wicked Hazy, Boston Beer Company of the United States of America
International Keg Ale Competition — Drovers Hazy Session IPA, Round Corner Brewing Ltd. of the United Kingdom
International Cask Ale Competition — WORK, Forest Road Brewing Company of the United Kingdom
International Non & Low Alcohol Beer Competition — Free Damm, Damm S.A of Spain

Fact Check: Unmasking the Truth Behind the $1.4 Million Titanic Wine Auction Video
Claim:
A video shows a bottle of wine retrieved from the Titanic wreckage that sold for $1.4 million at auction.
Rating:
On April 30, 2024, online users began virally sharing a video on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter, with a rumor claiming the clip showed a bottle of wine recovered from the wreckage of the Titanic selling for $1.4 million at auction.
The video displayed a gentleman attired in a suit, carefully uncorking a bottle of wine encrusted with maritime organisms. Further footage revealed cases of wine allegedly retrieved from the unfortunate Titanic voyage, which hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912, and sank the following morning. This disaster led to the demise of approximately 1,500 passengers and crew members.
An exceedingly popular post of the video garnered nearly 7 million views. The TikTok user @momentsgang uploaded the clip on the 1st of May. The screen caption announced, “Original Sealed Bottle of Wine Retrieved from the Titanic Sold for $1.4M at Auction.” The actual originator of the video has yet to be confirmed by Snopes.
The TikTok user stated in the text accompanying the video that a bottle of wine salvaged from the Titanic was auctioned for an unprecedented $1.4 million. “The Oceanic Reserve Champagne, by ‘Maritime Vineyards,’ is one of the few undamaged bottles recovered from the wreckage, transforming it into a sought-after historical artifact. The sale highlights the endless fascination with the Titanic tragedy and the value attached to its memory.”
The authenticity of this rumour has been rated “Miscaptioned” by Snopes. While the video was genuine and undistorted, it did not feature a bottle of wine salvaged from the Titanic being auctioned for $1.4 million. No news articles explicating such auctions could be found. Additionally, a Google search of “Oceanic Reserve Champagne” and “Maritime Vineyards” yielded no productive results—signifying that these were not valid product or company denominations.
Our extensive online search for the origins of the video — including performing reverse-image searches for various frames in the clip — initially produced no helpful answers. Then, we spotted a link in Google search results leading us to the truth.
The banner behind the man in the viral video matched the design of a bottle of SSN01 Classic from the award-winning Seafloor Storage No.1 wine company in Yantai, China. According to seafloorstoragewine.net, the wine-making process includes “six months of oak aging followed by 12 months of undersea storage” at an ocean depth of 18 meters (59 feet). The website also mentioned that Golden Times Winery supplies the grapes for the wine and limits annual production to 50,000 bottles. We reached out to the company via its contact form on the website but did not yet receive a response.
A comparison of the banner behind the unidentified man opening wine in the video next to the website for the Seafloor Storage No. 1 wine company.
We have so far been unable to locate the names of the people who appeared in the video, nor were we able to find when and where the event depicted occurred. The Seafloor Storage No.1 wine company’s website features only two blog articles from 2019 and 2020, both describing a China SeaFloor Storage Wine Culture Festival.
Aside from the rumor about the video, ocean explorers truly discovered champagne bottles with corks intact at the final resting site of Titanic, according to a 1994 article published by the British newspaper Evening Sentinel.
A genuine, still-sealed bottle of champagne was photographed in 2006 at “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition.”
French scientist Jean-Louis Michel and Marine geologist Robert Ballard led the joint French-American expedition that discovered the wreckage in 1985. The remains of the Titanic were found about 350 miles from Newfoundland and around 12,500 feet deep in the North Atlantic.
On July 19, 1986, UPI reported, “Ballard said the minisub’s three-man crew discovered other artifacts, including champagne bottles that were being readied for a toast when an iceberg tore a hole in the Titanic.”
For further reading about the Chinese wine company, we recommend an article from the Chinese-language website cnmjz.com and two stories from min.news.
In 2018, BusinessWorld published an unproven rumor about “a rich Asian collector” purportedly once buying six bottles of champagne recovered from the Titanic wreckage.
On Sept. 19, 1985 — just after the joint expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic — Chicago Tribune reported an article that provided some details and perspective about the wine and champagne bottles that were on the ship when it sank.
Note: Translations with Google Translate sometimes produce errors. Some websites also referred to the Chinese-made wine as “Haizang No. 1” from the “Yantai Age Wine Co., Ltd.”

Arooj Aftab Unveils Her Nostalgic New Single, ‘Whiskey’
The artist’s new album will arrive on May 31 via Verve Records.
Published on
By
Arooj Aftab has shared “Whiskey,” the second single from her forthcoming album, Night Reign, out May 31 on Verve Records.
Night Reign is the continuation of Aftab’s highly-praised initial label album, Vulture Prince. To celebrate the release of the single, Aftab is currently spotlighted on Apple Music’s New Music Daily.
The track “Whiskey” is atmospheric, evoking a melancholic sense of intoxicated infatuation. The lyrics are sung in English by Aftab: “Your head gets heavy and rests on my shoulder ’cause you drink too much whiskey when you’re with me.”
The track’s freeform structure, imbued with elements of jazz and tinges of 90s R&B, fully demonstrate Aftab’s musical versatility. Collaborations on “Whiskey” include renowned artists such as Kaki King and Gyan Riley on guitars, Maeve Gilchrist on the harp, Linda May Han Oh on the bass, and Jamey Haddad on percussion. In addition to this stellar lineup, TimaLikesMusic provides retro Juno keyboard runs and a dreamlike electric piano solo. The music video for the track can be viewed below.
Aftab characterizes “Whiskey” as a song about a night out with a beloved person that turns out unexpectedly. The evening has become slightly too spirited due to excess drinking. Now, she finds herself tired and needing to get both of them home. Nevertheless, the entire experience – and the interaction – is still charming.
Last month, the debut single and music video of the album “Raat Ki Rani” won the accolades from popular platforms such as NPR , Rolling Stone , and The New York Times . This piece was directed by the renowned actress Tessa Thompson.
Aftab showcases the theme of the night in her new nine-song collection. The narrative is completely her own; she explores the diverse, daring, and fascinating world that awakens after sunset.
Some nights are assigned to blossoming love, some to solitude and reflection, some to feeling irked at obligatory social gatherings — these are the stories narrated in the Night Reign .
