Back in my college days, we made any man who brought these Zima-esque drinks to a party wear a training bra. Now these sugar water booze things are a hip trend. Fantastic.

The bottom shelf of my GF's fridge has been full of Smirnoff Ice for longer than anyone can remember. And danged if we're not sure how it even got there in the first place. The only thing for certain is that they are absolutely undrinkable. Even in my worst alcholic binge I can't stomach that stuff.

I had someone try to convince me that Sparks was good. They may or may not have had taste buds, but they certainly weren't from the ghetto. Still, that stuff is nasty. Wait until the kids figure out that hard cider is sweet, too. And has even more alcohol than those malty things. mmmmm Strongbow.

Sparks? Hi you're from the ghetto and have no taste buds.

Sparks is pretty great if you're going out all night. These days I need something more than cocaine to keep me going.
