It came from the sky! There are many occurrences of strange things raining on our heads from above. Many of these such as rains of frogs or fish can be explained by freak weather such as tornadoes or hurricanes. Even chunks or rock, ice or iron that can fall from our outer atmosphere and sometimes space. However some things defy explanation or at the very least seem extremely unlikely to come from the sky.

033-Mead?

Mead is quite possibly one of the oldest alcoholic drinks known to man. Such a unique beverage with its yellow color of sunshine; the smell of flowers; and the sweet, bright taste. Honey being the only sweetener humans used for centuries it’s obvious we would find a way to make it alcoholic. Of course it’s very likely mead was made naturally in a stump beehive. This is the way I like to think of it happening, with Wojtek the solider bear coming along and getting a bit tipsy drinking the Nectar of the Gods.
