    Harry Anderson did this trick in the early '80s on Cheers. Obviously not the origin but it’s where I first saw it.

    Dudes used to buy books full of bits to do with their friends instead of stealing them from podcasts and tv

      Books were the podcasts of the time.

    What’s the general consensus on whether people still know this trick? I’ve known the phrase for ages, but I never heard of the trick.

    If they don’t lift the hat, then it’s Schrodinger’s Booze.

    Slide the hat to knock over the glass, spilling it under the hat. They never said they would “empty the glass,” but rather to “drink every drop of the liquor.”
