There is an art to finding the plug. It takes a keen eye and well-honed mind to find it. You've got to study for years and you have to defeat a skilled expert in plug-location before you can truly say that you know how to find the plug.
Unlike bae, which is anything worth investing your time and money into for the long haul, anything can be the plug under the correct circumstances. Identifying the plug is all about the hookup—using your mind grapes to get the most bang for your buck. Whether that's convincing your guy at Baskin-Robbins to throw an extra scoop of 31 Flavors on your shit, that weird South Korean website that sells pitch perfect bootlegs whose URL you won't give out to those thirsty fuccboi sycophants that lie and say they're your friends or a drug distributor who will hook you up with superior product for a fair price, that's all up to you. Much like happiness, the plug is what you make it. For all of you slovenly menswear enthusiasts who need help correctly identifying what is and is not a "the plug," I have assembled a digital slideshow meant for both education and entertainment.

Phrosties: Not The Plug
Phrosties are a motherphucking ripoff and SMFH if you actually thought they put drugs in them. Unlike Four Loko, Phrosties are expensive as shit and the only thing you got truly fucked up off of was the psychosomatic effects of drinking something New York Magazine told you had codeine in it.

Indoor Plumbing: Not The Plug
If we're being honest with ourselves, shitting in the woods isn't that bad, unless it's cold out, in which case indoor plumbing is sort of the plug, I guess.
