Kee-RIST I’m glad you cleared that up. I just got a headache trying to wrap my mind around what this meant!
Yeah, that was kind of an important ‘G’ I left out. 
Although, come to think of it, either way would make sense. Sort of.
“Hold on, honey. I gotta finish getting drunk. Luckily I’m drinking a Zima, so there’s no foam and I can slam it faster. While you wait, please enjoy the rhythmic stylings of my thumb.”
We used to mix it with vodka–not too bad.
You may mock Zima but you should know that 83.7% of the boobies in all of the Girls Gone Wild videos are there because those girls are drunk on Zima.
That must be why my kids always referred to it as “Cheerleader Beer”.
Must have been for the free beer. That’s the only reason I’d ever drink fucking Coors.
Normally I would agree, except with regards to everything, not just alcohol. But there is a time and place for everything, and a freshman college dorm is exactly the time and place to rip on a guy for putting candy in his girl beer.
I never tried Zima either. My lone bit of Zima trivia is that its name was coined by television writer Jane Espensen (Buffy, Gilmore Girls, and Battlestar Galactica, and many others) back when she worked in advertising.
Really? It means “winter” in several Slavic languages. Kind of a weird choice.
It was drinking a six pack of Zima that made me drunk enough to risk asking my wife out for the first time. For that it gets a pass from me.
That stuff was really popular when it first came out, at least in my circle of 16 year old friends. It didn’t taste as sour as beer or as nasty as hard alcohol did to us back then. We used to have bottle chugging contests with it, I think the fastest was around two seconds.
The next time I saw it was in a bar in Oregon where it was a drink special with the Jolly Rancher thing going on, but it looked more like a choking hazard to me than anything else.
Oh, and somewhere in my collection of stuff I have one of those backlit dry erase signs that was made as a Zima promotion.
Why is that a weird choice for a clear, cold beverage?
I tried it once. I didn’t exactly dislike it . . . In fact, it was so completely uninteresting I never wanted another.
Christ. I have a cold, so I cough when I laugh, and I’m now choking to death. And at work, so I’m stifling it, too.
I raise my glass of spit-flavored crap to you, HL.
Nope, I liked it too. Of course I don’t like actual beer, but I like faux/malt type stuff like Zima.
You owe him a thank you note.

So if Smirnoff Ice is still selling, (or at least available) can we assume Zima died of its own lame-ass marketing image and consequent popularity among trendoid idiots?
I drank some once. It was ok. Not great. Vodkatonic has everything it has and then some. It just isn’t as cheap and you can’t dance with a glass in your hand.
See post #19
So basically, we’re dancing on the grave of Dracula, when all the bloodthirsty monsters he spawned are still wreaking havoc in the world?
OK, suits me. I’ll have a…
beer.
Very well, we’ll be arresting them too.
