you were so "malternative"

Or all those annoying commercials that would run during MST3K/Politically Incorrect for the early 90s

Wait, this didn't die out of the gate back in 1993?

x-post what he said!

The drummer in my ska-punk band loved that stuff.

a dude i knew in college would only drink he zimas with two-to-three Skittles dropped into the bottle...he said it made it taste better

it's a little sad to think that george w bush will be thought of as the last zima president now.

now smirnoff ice and mike's hard lemonade can have their highlander-style duel to the death

someone, somewhere, is really unhappy about this. someone loved zima.

matt is this your college friend?

Back in college...
when I visited the girls dorm we used to put Jolly Ranchers in Zima to give it some flavor.

matt you didn't mentioned the girls dorm thing!! SPILL!!!

haha no, i hadn't heard about the jolly rancher technique. he was a skittles loyalist.

also, i'm sure this death will render yet another simpson's gag incomprehensible to future generations.

Outlasted Miller Clear by a dozen years or so. I guess Crystal Pepsi still exists in some form?

What the Hell is Zima?
I wanna get a beer,
but I can't decide. I can't decide.

It reminds me of red bull in that they both taste of that weird orange-y cough syrup that I can't recall the name of.

my only regret is not being born early enough to enjoy original zima

remember red dog?

wow, an urban legendish thing that combines two of my faves (beer, batman) and yet I'd never heard of it before!

Thanks, Jon!

Man, I didn't know Red Bull was not being made anymore! I remember so many peeps in the junior high era with faded-ass bleach-stained Red Dog shirts. Red Dog gives you wangs!

Oh man, one of the first times I ever drank any alcohol was when during recess I found a six-pack of Zima next to some used condoms in the parking lot. Some other kids dared me to drink some and I accepted the challenge by taking a few swigs. That incident haunted me through all of middle school.

RIP

you should clarify your post a little

getting drunk underage wouldn't have been the same without you ;_;

^^^ truth bomb. somehow this was the only booze my friends could get a hold of wtf

Dude, do they still make Red Dog?

don't know if red dog is still around.

another drink that was on hit legit for underage drinking in MN back in the day was this gross ass grape wine cooler shit that you got in 2 liter bottles called "Purple Passion" but I cannot seem to find anything about it on the internet.

Red Dog most definitely still exists. The corner store stocks it in the Colt .45/Mad Dog section.
