April 23, 2019
When the trailer for Jordan Peele’s Us was released last December, the song “I got 5 on it” was tainted forever.

Characterized by a herd of jittery sophomores sporting Bape hoodies and a strong odor of Mango, Mint, or Cucumber, a wild pack of bathroom juulers can be easily identified.
