^[1] I assembled a 4MS QPLFO kit. Since I set aside the time to spend with myself and used a soldering iron, I say this counts as a “hot date”.

^[2] Plausible: I heard of something called the “Mentos challenge”, which apparently involves administering Mentos as suppositories and chasing them with Diet Coke. I need to confirm that it is both real and started in 2023.
