I’m not one who usually downloads apps onto my iPhone, but for a while now I have been, what a lot of people may call, a Chivette.
The Chive is a website dedicated to entertaining followers with fun pictures and videos. There is a free app that you can download on your phone so you can take them with you anywhere.
Once you open the app, you can choose from tons of categories, from sexy girls and leg gaps to “Mans Best Friend,” an entire category of photos of puppies.
It’s definitely something that sucks you in and can keep you busy for hours on end.
More and more people are becoming part of The Chive revolution. Almost every corner I turn, I see t-shirts with Bill Murray on them and whispers of “Chive On” through friends and followers.
While at a beerfest in early fall, one of my close friends was wearing a shirt that said “The Chive” when a random guy came over, shook his hand and walked away. We then realized that he whispered “Chive On Man” to my friends and slipped a $5 bill into his hand.
Just last week I read a story about a waiter at a restaurant that was wearing a lanyard that said “The Chive” on it. He went to clean his table after the guests left and found the credit card receipt with a $100 tip and the famous phrase “Chive On.” As a waitress, I just purchased a lanyard, too. Lets hope it works out for me.
Seriously, the amount of people who follow this website is simply crazy. People who don’t know what it is see it as just silly photos of drunk people, random fun facts and sexy girls. But to Chivers and Chivettes, it’s almost a lifestyle.
They just opened up a shop online where you can purchase anything and everything that says “The Chive” on it. From mugs to lanyards, tees and tanks, to coozies for your beer. Within the first week, almost everything was sold out.
I know I probably sound like I’m part of a crazy secret cult, but anyone can download The Chive. It can keep you entertained for hours on end and…its free.
If you’re bored and feel like looking at some entertaining photos, download The Chive, you won’t regret it.
Keep Calm and Chive On.
