Gator aid: Florida couple call for help after can-do alligator drinks Diet Cokes
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/02/florida-alligator-drinks-diet-coke

A gregarious Florida alligator seemingly could not wait for a family’s birthday party to begin, so it slipped into a garage where supplies were being stored and chugged down a slab of Diet Coke. [...] “There was Diet Coke spewing everywhere because the gator tore open the box and had a few cans, probably thought it was beer maybe,” she said.

As someone whose health and happiness is directly related to how warm and humid it is outside, I aspire to one day move to Florida. Philadelphia is great - it's definitely warmer and more humid than New York - but there aren't enough giant lizards. And not even the giant lizards can afford DC.

The link is worth clicking through just to see the stock photo they used of an alligator, because it looks like the most content creature that ever was. Oh to be a fat alligator sunning itself on a warm road next to some lovely green grass.

"probably thought it was beer" implies a lot of things. >_>
