I seem to have missed another 5-6 trendies. Except the Boon's, that's been around a long, long time.
 
Interesting. Haven't seen much of it around MI in recent memory, but when I was in Kyoto last June, it was EVERYWHERE. Seriously. You were just as likely to see Zima tackers and coolers in bars and restaurants as you were to see Sapporo. I wonder if they'll keep producing it overseas?

And as for BMC & Clamato ... I have to admit, I love it. It's called a Red Beer out West. Best done with 1/3 Clamato and 2/3 PBR (or other suitably crap beer) in a pint glass rimmed with celery salt. Reminiscent of a Bloody Mary, and a great slow-weekend-morning drink. I know, I know, I have to turn in my EAC card now...
 
You know, I'm having this sudden-recall of seeing the Richard Lewis ads when I was like ten years old, and thinking to myself "Man, when I'm 21 I'm going to get one of them!"

...and I've been over 21 for 4 years now, and Zima has not entered my mind a single time. I'm trying to remember if I've ever tasted it...don't think so. I may very well go out and buy a six pack of it, just to satisfy a childhood curiosity. What does it taste like, anyway?
 
oh hell. My buddy and I saw that at a gas station and bought some just for the heck of it. It's really, really bad.

I did the exact same thing with SWMBO. We looked at it, say that it was like $2.75, and we decided that we were $2.75 curious. I tried to like it at first and I sorta did but I couldn't finish it. She decided she wasn't feeling as adventurous as she was before but took a sip and hated it.
