\"1in3<\/span>A press release this morning announced that “1in3Trinity, a Faith-inspired company of lifestyle products, is proud to announce that it has signed worship band SONICFLOOd to endorse their newly released faith-inspired energy drink, 1in3Trinity Energy Drink.”
\nYes, you read it right. A “faith-inspired energy drink.” People, I don’t make this stuff up.
\nThe press release says:<\/p>\n

“The premier 1in3Trinity Energy Drink is a perfect companion for today’s active Christian lifestyle, providing benefits not only for the consumer, but for spectators as well. In an eye-catching aluminum can, the company has an opportunity to convey a positive and unique message in an innovative and distinctive way to not only the drinker, but also to those in which they come in contact.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Great! So now I can wear my Scripture sneakers and my Jesus Is My Homeboy t-shirt and parade around town drinking a 1in3Trinity Energy Drink and everyone will know that I’m a Christian! Wow, I had no idea how to really finish off that Bible-based fashion ensemble so that I could really share my faith. Maybe that homeless guy on the street will see my super spiritual energy drink can and become a Christian.
\nBarf.
\nWhat does that say about the worship band? That they buy into this Christian commercial crap?
\nThe press release also says, “1in3Trinity has a strong vision and is committed to contributing a percentage of our profits to youth ministries around the world.” That’s nice, but you know what I suggest? Take the money you might have spent on this “spiritual” energy drink and send it directly your favorite youth charity.
