<description>&lt;p&gt;This episode has it all: and by, it all, we mean that Amanda spends about a full twenty minutes talking about her celebrity crush. And yet, through the power of podcasting, we manage to dive into the history of Stanley Cups and Owalas and how water bottles became fashion statements. We even interviewed Dr. Jess Rauchberg, a professor at Seton Hall studying digital culture, about water bottle culture. Amanda's celebrity crush DOES somehow relate to water bottles, but not in the way you think.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Links&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Jess Rauchberg: https://x.com/JessRauchberg&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Soda craze in Utah: &lt;a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/dining/swig-soda-shop-chains.html"&gt; https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/dining/swig-soda-shop-chains.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Utah &amp; the Stanley trend:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2024/01/17/stanley-cup-utah-trend-starbucks-target"&gt; https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2024/01/17/stanley-cup-utah-trend-starbucks-target&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Is this even eco-friendly:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/11/health/water-bottles-beverages.html"&gt; https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/11/health/water-bottles-beverages.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find Us Online &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Twitter: &lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/wowiftruepod"&gt;https://twitter.com/wowiftruepod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href= "https://www.instagram.com/wowiftrue"&gt;https://www.instagram.com/wowiftrue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Patreon: &lt;a href= "https://www.patreon.com/wowiftrue"&gt;https://www.patreon.com/wowiftrue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Website: &lt;a href= "https://wowiftrue.com/"&gt;https://wowiftrue.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Email: &lt;a href= "mailto:wowiftruepod@gmail.com"&gt;wowiftruepod@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Us &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Wow If True was created by &lt;a href= "http://isabel.kim/"&gt;Isabel J.

Description

This episode has it all: and by, it all, we mean that Amanda spends about a full twenty minutes talking about her celebrity crush. And yet, through the power of podcasting, we manage to dive into the history of Stanley Cups and Owalas and how water bottles became fashion statements. We even interviewed Dr. Jess Rauchberg, a professor at Seton Hall studying digital culture, about water bottle culture. Amanda's celebrity crush DOES somehow relate to water bottles, but not in the way you think.
