Bring back Zima!

[Cameramonkey]

I think it actually had more alcohol than most lite beers.

Oh dear God, as I recall Zima was something like 7% when it first came out. it was HARSH.

Soon after I first turned 21 I got WASTED on 6 in a hotel dive bar. I could barely stumble up the stairs to leave. ugh. No, Just No.

Everclear FTW.

It was designed for men to drink, but became a joke after women started preferring it.

I liked Zima... There I said it.. I proud.

Also as long as we're bringing stuff back I'm bringing sexy back.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Yeah, I wouldnt say I LIKED it... I just hadnt found beer I could stand yet. I have since developed a taste for REAL beer. I still cant stomach Budweiser... even 3 sheets to the wind during a kegger where I am not legal to drive, and probably not even legal to WALK. Bud light is meh, but I prefer MGD, and my all time favorite, Yeungling. In fact, I get to pick up a case or two when I go to OH tomorrow.

And didnt they bring out Zima again about 10 years ago? I thought they brought it back at about 50% the ABV. I could be mistaken.

 

[Leadeye]

MGD=Good.

Zima was a product that demonstrated you could sell anything with packaging and marketing.

I will one up that...........The Pet Rock

Since we're trying to bring things back via the Break Room, I vote we bring back Zima. I wasn't old enough to drink when this was available so I don't know if it was any good. I suggest we also bring back:

Clear Pepsi
History on the History Channel
Music videos on MTV
Dukes of Hazzard reruns
Common sense
Dueling

Yesss

my all time favorite, Yeungling. In fact, I get to pick up a case or two when I go to OH tomorrow.

I grew up on Yeungling in Pa. It was the first beer I was able to buy. 6 packs at the local tavern when I was just 16.

I went to college in Pittsburgh and worked in a restaurant and Yeungling was the "employee beer." $1 per pint. Anytime we weren't on the clock.

It's good, but it gives you mud butt when you drink it all the time.

My wife loved the stuff, she used to add Midori to it. In our circle of friends her nickname became one Zima Gina......I loved the stuff!

Zima doesnt even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as yeungling. Zima = vomit induced headache. Yeungling = nectar of the Gods.

Agreed! I think I had a Zima once, and can't even remember what it tasted like.

And while we're doing the bring back, I'm putting in a request for Tequiza. Yeah, I'm weird, but on a hot summer day I enjoyed an ice-cold Tequiza over a light beer any day.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I drank it, but I was about 16, too, so taste wasn't a strong suit yet. Wiedeman was my beer of choice due to price. A case was $4 or so, IIRC.

One down!

Crystal Pepsi Is Back, But You Have To Win It To Sip It

 

[T.Lex]

I think my father in law still has some Zima in the back of his basement fridge. Would be willing to trade bricks of .22LR for it.

 

[jsharmon7]

Clear Pepsi was first. And now:

Clearly, you missed it. Zima is coming back - Chicago Tribune

Now, on to the rest of my list.

 

[PaulF]

You're welcome:

Clearly, you missed it. Zima is coming back - Chicago Tribune

WHY?

Just why would you do that?

You understand that kutnupe14 is, as we speak, renting a baby blue tuxedo and a matching 1994 Lincoln Continental Super-stretch limo to "relive his glory years", don't you?

I hope you're happy.
