You people rock. Those of you who drink, go out this week and have a beer for me, huh? And a tequila shot. And a slug o' peppermint schnapps. And a bourbon and coke in a plastic Burger King cup. And a kick-ass bloody mary, with or without bacon (but Tabasco is a must). And an Everclear and Kool-Aid. And oh yeah, a mind eraser. And . . . well, you get the point. Sounds like a lot, but you can do it, my homeslices. But for dog's sake, stay away from the Cisco. Even I didn't drink that shit. Well, I did once, only once, right after it came out and people were ending up in the hospital because they thought it was a wine cooler and drank way too much--and I woke up with a chipped tooth. It was AWFUL. It was like drinking alcoholic soda syrup. You know, that stuff that they use for fountain drinks--the really thick, concentrated stuff. Like that, only fruity flavored. Disgusting. And the buzz was the worst. My buddy and I just sat there snarling at each other all night. Wicked, wicked stuff. So yeah, drink up for your teetotalling pal Flea, but don't get with the Cisco if you know what's good for you.



Oooooh, what about the menthol-flavored malt liquors that were test-marketed a few years ag?o Remember that shit? Now thathad to be foul. Could that have been more targeted toward the 'hood? I mean, not to perpetuate stereotypes or anything, but menthol cigarettes and malt liquor are already pretty big sellers in certain neighborhoods, and I can just see a bunch of slimy corporate fucks coming up with the nifty idea to maximize sales by combining the two great tastes in one 40-oz package. Yuck!

Somehow I missed the menthol malt liquor trend, and Cisco never appealed to me. Maybe it's because it reminded me of that geeky computer company. ;)

Yeah, the menthol thing wasn't very long-lived or widespread, thank goodness. And Cisco HAS no appeal to people with taste, so that's probably why it didn't appeal to you. :)
