Blame Mel entirely for this one.
Mel: I accept the blame, lol! Short explanation for anyone who doesn’t live inside my head: Absinthe is a famous drink that is prepared by pouring water over a sugar cube into the glass of spirit. “ABBA” and “The Sugarcubes” (for whom Bjork was the lead singer before going solo) were famous bands of the 70’s and 80’s. This joke lodged itself in my brain and refused to leave, so now I’ve inflicted it all on you. 😉
That made my morning, Mel. Giggles, followed by the same explanation to the unaware…
Proud to say I actually got that one.

I got “ABBA-synth”/absinthe; I’m deeply familiar with ABBA, have heard of Bjork, had never heard of the SugarCubes, and had no idea how to prepare absinthe. So thanks very much for the explanation!
