Did you have Velveeta-infused martini on your 2022 Hellscape bingo card?

The whole "I did not have that on my *enter the year* bat$h!t bingo card" at least since Trump took office as President. It may always have been a thing but my earliest memories of it involved then-current and former Cabinet members referring to him as a moron, his various lies/gaffes, interesting reactions from foreign countries, scandals his advisors found themselves mired in, etc. It was funny to me for the first year or two but then it just became downright sad. . . and by sad I mean that there wasn't any kind of local or online Trump bat$h!t bingo league in which I could participate. It is still a common phrase that people use when they are talking about how crazy something is. Enter 2022's newest potential bingo card entry: the Velveeta-infused vodka martini. The BLT Steak location in Washington DC is offering it as well as a few of the other US locations in the upscale chain. The melted Velveeta cheese sauce infuses vodka for 24 hours before being frozen so they can strain out just the vodka. The final cocktail uses that infused vodka, olive brine, and dry vermouth. It is garnished with Velveeta-stuffed olives, a Velveeta drip around the edges, and some kind of giant Velveeta shell that I don't really understand. Interestingly this Velveeta martini aka the Veltini costs only $15. That isn't any more than you'd pay for a regular martini in an upscale restaurant in an urban area. If you don't have access to a BLT restaurant in your area you can order a $50 kit to try to make one at home. Me? I think someone would have to pay ME $50 to have a sip of this concoction. @porwest . . . what do you think?
