truth bombs

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.

August A. Busch III, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Anheuser-Busch, is a Bush Ranger having raised at least $200,000 for Bush in the 2004 election. [2]

i'm not sure what we're talking about but i hope i can still buy these arizona green tea cans

Sigh.

also lol, aside from UPS and Microsoft it seems I already have an unintentional boycott of companies who donate to the Heritage Foundation going as I try to avoid pretty much every organization listed there just on GP

i ain't gonna play sun city

i only give money to people who use it to fuck bitches and get more money

"mickeysluttin.jpg"?

:(

i just link em, i don't write em.
mickey's advertising in the 90's was hella dumb; surprised they didn't get more market share
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51iAMnHPtQL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

$4 all day every day

the old bottles were designed to look like grenades, perfect for chucking at good friends at parties.

that's a good price! $5 is the norm here, though you get a "better" brand of bourbon

narragansett is owned by an advertising agency. the same company that invented hendrick's gin.

http://quakercitymercantile.com/

they used to be known as gyro worldwide and in the 90's they were all rad and skateboard-y. now they are all about faux-olde-tymey.

hence the name change. pretty smart!

Long ago, we evolved beyond the role of advertising agency, creating a new paradigm for the generation of enduring commercial value. Our name change to Quaker City Mercantile comes in recognition of our expanded role as a creator of consumer products and intellectual content. We are a hybrid of 19th century mercantilism and 21st century brand artistry.

We believe in the importance of making things. We believe that a free market both requires and deserves products that display an authentic point of view. As manufacturing processes have become commoditized, the mantle of inventor has been passed from mechanical geniuses like Edison to integrative artists like ourselves. As experts in the interactions between self-image, social worth, individuality, and brand identity — we create products from the ground up. We offer all phases of development, from ideation to manufacture to full marketization, including package design, multimedia campaigns, social networking, buzz programs, and viral campaigns. We identify manufacturing facilities, source materials, design packaging and produce the full array of intellectual content required to launch and sustain brands.

Quaker City Mercantile pays homage to the Philadelphia of the 19th century, when our fair city was the center of the Industrial Revolution. With fierce pride in our roots, we are sparking a new Innovation Revolution here in Quaker City.

Hendricks is one of my most favorite things in the world

PBR wasn't even a hipster choice when i was in college, it was considered sort of a cut above the swill they'd serve at the sleazier bars in town where the drinking age wasn't enforced (i think there was one place that was basically a rec room sans decoration and served natural light for 25 cents per small cup during happy hour and served literally nothing else.) PBR was regarded as better-tasting while still being cheap. everyone drank either that or labatt's (as a session beer) or shotgunned milwaukee's best.

Ha - yeah. We both clearly went to school in upstate ny. Labatts and The Beast were everywhere.

lol I went through a Labatt's phase because J was living with two women from upstate NY

i think the only times i've had labatts are at hockey games and at the montreal casino

really enjoying this thread digression. OK Soda and Quaker City Mercantile's mission statement are blowing my mind right now.
