Hanging with Bardot and Ali

That time you made popcorn with Paul Newman: undocumented. Brigitte Bardot in your bathtub: missed that shot, too. Fortunately, other photos of these people exist—in fact, the Impossible Cool is now offering shots of those two and eight more of the last half-century’s coolest people. Photoshop yourself in later.

HARD CASH

Your Drink, on a Pile of Cash

Puerto Rican Mountain Hot Sauce. Yep.

At a certain point, you’re ready to graduate from Tabasco. When that happens, we suggest looking in the mountains of Puerto Rico (yes, they’ve got mountains), where this stuff comes from. It’s got habanero, garlic, peppercorn, vinegar... and probably hellfire.
