I can't believe anyone paid any amount of money for a Zima ever.

The advertising signage at the liquor store around the block is funny as hell. "The legend Returns!"

wait Zima.... isn't that this crystal clear beer type thing?
moderately tasty and equally succesful at best .
succes mostly due to sheer WTF!?!

tried it, would not buy again.
unless ironically or for nostalgic WTF- where-we-thinking-giggles

I remember drinking like four or five Zimas when I was 15 or so. Turnt in mah Jncos. Rowdy.

But yeah, it was kind of the most mocked alcoholic beverage ever, right? Well... maybe second to Smirnoff Ice. But I think Bartles & Jaymes were happy to have some of the heat taken off of them by Zima.

Yeah, Zima gained a reputation as a "chick drink". I never thought it tasted as bad as everyone made it out to, though.

There was a huge display of Zima at my local store.

I bought sake instead.

but I do not recall it tasting good, either...
more like a limbo of taste with not enough funfactor to make it worthwhile.
funny enough for sure, but to drink it on purpose more than once?

....that commercial.....
...I remember a more erotic aproach like two short haired blondes in sequence dress dancing in a dark room with rain or sprinkler system pouring over them.....then it was like "ZZZZIMMMAAA"

It was the Crystal Pepsi attempt of light alcoholic beverages, back when they were all making clear junk. My best friend's older brother's girlfriend ('s former roommate) acquired some when I was a teenager, I remember thinking it was like a gross Sprite, but I thought most alcohol was gross at the time.

Also, it always reminds of that one creepy SNL sketch where the married guy gives it to the teenage babysitter in his car and winds up in prison.

Yeah I remember it tasting like weird tonic water, not bad but definitely not great. And yes, sake would be a bout a 5000x better choice.
