The Long, Slow, Torturous Death of Zima

[Lerxst]

"Unfortunately for Coors, most of those drinkers tried it only once, since straight Zima tasted like tinfoil soaked in Fresca."

bawhahahaha...truth!

I remember when this hit as an underage drinker and all the high school girls wanted this for parties along with those putrid wine coolers. ....I didn't even know that it was still around.

[NWernBrewer]

I remember those, terrible things.

More shelf room for real beer!

[Ronthered]

Yeah, I can;t believe it was around so long. maybe that means yuppies are going away as well

[Ó Flannagáin]

Never had one, just remember the ridiculous commercials where they were drinking in wine glasses

Ever have Alka-Seltzer? Zima tasted just like that.

Ever have Alka-Seltzer? Zima tasted just like that.

Alka-Seltzer's lawyers are on the phone demanding a public apology lest you find yourself in an actionable position.

Those commercials are crazy terrarious (terrible, yet hilarious).

[Jekster]

Yeah the one with people all in white is hilarious. I better grab some zima so I have a girl instantly behind me in pristine white clothing give me a back rub and laughing like she's been slipped a roofy.

As a side note those commercials are fucking horrible. I hope whoever worked that marketing needs some freaking help.

My first trip as a legal adult to the US was out in San Jose many moons ago (IIRC, man I feel old some days). Pulled into a gas station and was blown away, booze everywhere!! And there amongst all of BMC's finest wares, was a fridge full Zima. Which according to television, was the greatest liquid in the world; it's consumption being necessary for existence in a brave and cool new world. A 4 pack later, and I began my journey into the hate-filled anarchist you see today.
