The worst part is, I actively enjoyed watching Blue Mountain State. And I still missed it.

I need to track this down on principal. Is the flavor of the front bottle just Jamaica? Because that's pretty rad.

Nothing wrong with that. That show was one of the best bro comedies ever.
Re: Rum - Kraken in pretty tasty, although I'm not much on spiced rums. It's priced right at $20 here as well. I prefer Appleton for all of my rum needs. The regular stuff isn't very good, but once you move up a step to XV or beyond that, it's damn fine booze.

'round here (or at least my roommates and I) call them Brojitos for that very reason.
Besides that I prefer them every single day over a margarita. Prefer beer over all of them, but summer drinks are summer drinks.

Hibiscus huh? Sounds potentially delicious.

Huh. I just assumed it was some janky fruit punch.
Hibiscus flavored drinks are good.

This but bourbon.
Mostly dislike rum, but Kraken is definitely one of the good ones.

I haven't had rum in years.
Which is a shame, kind of, but so goes.

I found it quite enjoyable. I would get another bottle. Same price point that you stated. But really I do enjoy Sailor Jerry's more so. It seems to be even smoother and with more alcohol content, If I remember right it's like 89 or 93 proof.
Anyway for the most part I just like mixing it with coke zero. taste great and seems to balance it just right. Sometimes with orange juice as well.

Kraken is a delightful rum. I like it on the rocks, but I'm not opposed to adding a wee splash of coke, a bit of orange juice, or that wonderful Reed's Ginger Beer. If i'm going the Ginger Beer route, I like to add a little sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamon and an orange slice.
