Now I know why skinny boys like to wear jeans that are extra extra large - so they can sneak soda in the movies.

I’ve smuggled in 20-oz bottle (recycled pop bottle) full of water into locations before by putting it in back-pocket (though it was in the back-pocket of suit pants, and the bulge could be hidden by the jacket).
A 12-oz can can be difficult to hide in jeans, an 8-oz is a piece of peda.

Hey you guys! Supposedly if you guys put the pop sodas in the pockets of your pants, something will happen with the pop soda; POP! and then, it will spill all over your legs. That will be “WET PANTS!”

“Girls rule boys drool” We use our purses to hide the sodas and popcorn..that way we don’t have wet pants! LOL!

2023.
Decades of forcing American students to accept a mindset of “college or bust” has led to the skilled trades – plumbing / HVAC, heavy vehicle operator, carpenter, electrician, and so forth – being so critically short-handed that people who obtain the relevant certificates and enter into these career fields are practically guaranteed to not only have jobs but fairly high salaries.
This alone is enough for many young men to bypass college and go straight into the skilled trades, the promise of ready jobs upon completion of training.
Further “encouraging” young men to consider trade school is the large number of scandals and controversies surrounding many colleges, such as the violent protests at Evergreen State College in 2017, the threats of violence against a reporter during the 2015 / 2016 Missouri State University protests, and the allegations that the Obama Administration’s “Dear Colleague” letter resulted in campuses across the nation forming kangaroo courts that saw large numbers of young men have their lives ruined by false accusations of misconduct.
Throw in the whole “gig” economy where people don’t even need degrees to make money running deliveries, driving people around, or doing other such jobs, and the ever-increasing cost of tuition, and a lot of young men are just opting to skip college and either go into the skilled trades or unskilled “gig” positions.
