Get the Lasagna Wavemug. A rare type of electromagnetic wave, it can either be stronger than Gamma Rays or weaker than infrared waves. Rizz waves are only in certain specimens. Those who have more rizz than the above average will at some point have rizz waves. If you a lot of rizz, you will have gamma stronger rizz waves if not you will have weaker than infrared waves. Rizz waves were first theorized by scientists in the 1890s but were forgotten until their research was discovered in Baltimore in 2017.
