Any Chicagoan worth their salt has had a shot of life-changing Jeppson’s Malört. Love it or hate it, this tipple always elicits a memory of your first sip, an instant time-machine to Nostalgia World.

According to Jeppson’s Facebook page, they’ve got a sweet Cards Against Humanity expansion pack. Game on. [Jeppson’s]
