2 for 2 in 2021! A decently fun Saturday crossword.
Saturday January 2, 2021
Time: 14:32
Themeless Saturdays! Some fun clues of note:
- 13A It has wheels and flies: "ROLLER BAG". Road warrior mentality all the way.
- 12D ("HALF SIZES") and 60A ("BITE SIZED") both seem to have the mini-sizes involved. A bit unfortunate that there are two uses of the "size", but always great to see Z's in crosswords
- 33D Dance-based class in a pool: "AQUA ZUMBA". Can you do Zumba underwater? Apparently the answer is yes.
- 51A Milk, slangily: "MOO JUICE". Ew. Got Milk? didn't become one of the biggest milk campaigns to become equivalent to MOO JUICE.
I'd like to say I had the best take on this, but I'll leave it to WaPo's own Evan Birnholz:
Saturday #NYTXW: My third letter of 51A before I corrected it was M, please no one analyze what this wrong answer says about me, thanks in advance.

Overall, I give it 3 and a half Moo's out of 5.
