They has to "improve it"...
I was planning to use the remaining 5 in the 6-pack to kill weeds...but I think I will drink them all

Doreen
(11,686 posts)You should have gotten two or three packs. I have a very small apartment but if I were to clean all of it in one day I would want to drink more than one pack.
jpak
(41,758 posts)It gave me strength

(944 posts)They have stacks of it at the market, but don't seem to be selling much.
I've never tried it.
I'm not
It tastes like the sound made by rattling a can plums

I loved MadTV.

politicat
(9,808 posts)Not like Sprite - Sprite is much sweeter. Not like ginger ale at all.
I don't remember hating them, but I admit I was 19 the last time I had one. And that's 2 decades in my rear view.
jpak
(41,758 posts)Kombucha made with Seven-Up!
But with none of the redeeming qualities of Kombucha
politicat
(9,808 posts)I had a friend with deeply questionable taste in college. Person would ferment anything, wanted to go all natural everything, but had developed a taste for Zima in high school. Friend spent most of a year fermenting anything they could get their hands on for that flavor and trying to replicate it with non-mass market stuff.
Of course, friend desperately wanted to share their obsession.
jpak
(41,758 posts)"Of course, friend desperately wanted to share their obsession."
Is that an accusation?
politicat
(9,808 posts)Lots of nefarious motives possible there.
Or we were just all bloody morons who should have been nailed inside a barrel for a few years.
jpak

(9,808 posts)It seems like it would be really nice on a very hot day, the way a really pale ale tastes best when it's 95 degrees and the beer is 34 degrees, but without the hoppy flavor. (Still looking for a meadowsweet or woodruff pale ale that would do the same.)
Every drink has its place.
jpak
(41,758 posts)My favorite after-mowing-the-lawn-on-a-hot summer-day drink is
An ice-cold 16 oz. Bud
Don't know why
Phentex
(16,334 posts)we used to only drink them at the beach due to a very limited quantity of anything available. I remember liking them. But then I forgot all about them.
jpak
(41,758 posts)but strangely memorable at the same time.
denbot
(9,900 posts)Seriously, I tried that stuff once and see no reason to do it twice.

(17,086 posts)If we had a fourth, I'm fairly certain we could have finished it.

(17,086 posts)You do know Maine has as many brew pubs per capita as any place, pretty much, right?

(14,275 posts)All I remember about it was the strong chemical aftertaste.
jpak
(41,758 posts)if that makes any sense
Generic Brad
(14,275 posts)Back when that came out I was practically living on cigarettes and Coke (i was a graduate student and was not majoring in Nutrition - obviously). New Coke was so bad it pushed me back to eating food.

Zima Immortality
Some thought it was dead and gone
But it has risen to new glory!

(19,565 posts)Damn I was stupid back then!
Put that crap down and let the 90's die with a semblance of respect. Which means pretending Zima never existed, among other things.

(14,624 posts)I've been on a kick lately drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade. It's been hot as hell in New Orleans, with humidity through the roof, so most alcoholic beverages I would normally drink just aren't that appelaing right now. I've been craving something light, cold and fruity, so MHL it is!
