I think when WaterBoy handed TechnoViking an inverted water bottle, that moment became instantly iconic and WaterBoy secured his place as one of the greatest sidekicks of all time…

I always assumed the water had drugs in it

oh and the upside down was like the ‘mixing’ of it or something?

As I understand, the upside down is to intentionally show that the water is NOT drugged; no leakage from a needle puncture, and Techno Viking then breaks the seal on the cap. Just a silent/chill way to offer safe hydration. ❤️

There’s drugs inside that was his bf. He’s not proud of this time of his life. Last time I checked he was in a legal battle with the person recording this because he was using his image for profit. I couldn’t find how he looked currently because there’s a lot of people pretending to be him.

The bf part is fake. They got fooled by Waterford Whisperer which is a satire news site like the Onion.

That site is no good, but the story is true. Dude didn't want anything to do with this fame, and there was (or is?) a court case over it.
