Yep, still talking about bagels

won't someone think of the free range

cook my free-range chicken on a woodpidgeon burning stove

the PBR thing is funny. i thought the whole point of embracing something like PBR was to not give a shit (or show that you don't give a shit) (or both) about fancy foods, having the correct taste, etc. and then this one beer out of maybe 30 common cheap beers becomes the "cool" cheap beer. it's like congratulations, you are shipping the same quantity of tribalist plumage as your peers but are also stuck with shitty beer.

lol i don't think that was the point of pbr!

I've never met anyone who drank PBR other than my grandparents in the 1980s, but I had a friend who got like that about Natty Boh.

The beer experienced a sales revival in the early 2000s after a two decade-long slump, largely due to its increasing popularity among the 20-something demographic in cities such as Oswego, New York; Norman, Oklahoma; Columbus, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Portland, Oregon; and Richmond, Virginia.[5][7] As a result, it has become popularly associated with the contemporary hipster subculture.[8][9]

Although the Pabst website features user-submitted photography, much of which features twenty-something Pabst drinkers dressed in alternative fashions,[10] the company has opted not to fully embrace the countercultural label in its marketing, fearing that it could jeopardize the very "authenticity" that made the brand popular[5][11][12] as was the case with the poorly received OK Soda. Pabst instead targets its desired market as an authentic American beer through product placement in films such as Gran Torino,[13] as well as targeting its niche through the sponsorship of indie music concerts, local businesses, post-collegiate sports teams,[14] dive bars and radio programming like National Public Radio's All Things Considered.[7][15]

NPR-themed dive bars are all the rage

they sell PBR at Whole Foods

i prefer coors or gansett.

lol @ beverage in quotes

yeah coors sucks, a lot

lol @ ok soda. what did it taste like??

it was tasty! you could make an approximation with any soda dispenser feat. coke, orange, and dr. pepper.

it's basically 50/50 coke/orange with a splash of dr. pepper.

Everything about OK soda was ridiculous except maybe the Clowes illustrations on a lot of the cans.

The marketing is so annoying.

I do remember thinking it tasted pretty good though.

marketing WAS so annoying, rather

"The drink's slogan was "Things are going to be OK.""

PBR tastes better than most cheapish beers imo

xp lol the same guy also created fruitopia!

really had his finger on the pulse of the 90s

hahahaha I'll say.

Funny cause reading about it now it doesn't seem to have been test marketed in NY but I distinctly remember reading about it at the time and then buying some to see what it tasted like. Must have been on a trip somewhere.

for life bitches.

oh man, I spent way too much time trying to convince myself that I liked Fruitopia

i drank a ton of fruitopia in middle school. typical middle school lunch: large order of tater tots with too much salt, fruitopia, maybe a muffin.

xxp ian otm

lol dan actually also otm

I just remember there was one flavor that didn't taste like sweet death and it was not one of the ones that survived the Great Fruitopia Flavor Cull when the beverage failed to dominate the market; I think it was citrusy...?

Anyway, when the strawberry sugar bomb flavor became the only one you could find, I felt a huge weight of sugar lift off of my shoulders.

fyi when you buy Coors you're supporting the Heritage Foundation

In addition to the popular Strawberry Passion Awareness, other flavors included The Grape Beyond, Tangerine Wavelength, Citrus Excursion, Fruit Integration, Pink Lemonade Euphoria, Lemonade Love & Hope, Raspberry Psychic Lemonade, and Beachside Blast.

It was either Citrus Excursion or Fruit Integration; I suspect the latter because it has the word "Integration" in the title and at the time I was all about making as many life choices as possible that would make my life more closely resemble a gothy Benetton ad.

fyi when you buy pbr you are indirectly doing same:

The company (MillerCoors) is also tasked with brewing brands of beer and lager that are owned by Pabst Brewing Company.

ian otm but also gr80 otm so I am torn. Can I still buy Budweiser with a reasonably clear conscience?

here are more companies gr80 needs to boycott:

There's defence contractors Boeing and Lockheed Martin, finance and insurance companies such as Allstate Insurance, Mortgage Insurance Companies of America, and American International Group (AIG), auto company Honda, tobacco company Altria Group (Philip Morris), drug and medical companies Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, and Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, oil companies ChevronTexaco and Exxon Mobil, software giant Microsoft, and chipping in over $100,000 each, Alticor (Amway), Pfizer, PhRMA, and United Parcel Service (UPS). [2]

millercoors also supported/supporting gov. scott walker

and i've got love for high life, but it's incredibly easy to buy good non-millercoors/pabst beer.
