In 2023, Hinton announced on Thanksgiving that he and Dench had gone from "family" to business partners, launching an alkaline black water called BlackMP.

I upvoted this only so that more people might see this went from wholesome to scummy side hustle. Maybe next year we won't hear about these people at all anymore. 🤞

Yeah this went from cute to kinda dumb. Not everything needs to be monetized.
