I liked Zima, but haven't had one in years. One beer I hated to see go was Doc's Hard Lemon/DocOtis!

I have a nice 2ft+ Neon Doc's plastic beer bottle sign if anyone's inerested. It flashes like 3 diff colors. Was thinking about putting it on Ebay, but not sure how I would ship it........ It's BIG :beer:

"Being"?!?!? :confused:
I thought they got rid of that shit over 5 years ago. I havent seen it anywhere for at least that long.

I am ashamed to admit that I used to take a swig of Zima and fill the top with fruit Shnapps.
And the chicks thought I was cool when I did it.

Goddamn I was so fucking lame.
Now I just sip vodka from a long, thin glass.
Much less gay.

You sure about that?

Yeah, I was gonna say... I don't know if it's more or less gay than drinking Zima, but it's still gayer than 8 guys fucking 9 guys.

my advice is to stock up and then sell on ebay....

do you know how much a six pack of crystal pepsi is going for?

but, since it is alcoholic, i don't think you can pull this off....

40oz's FTL!! Got 2 Olde Englishes, drank a few sips, and gave them away at a party. Then I headed over to the Heinekens. :cool:

You know what I like about high school girls? I keep getting older and they stay the same age.

Now what am I going to do?

It should have died from the get go. Who wants to buy something after seeing a commercial for it with the "zomething different" punchline?

I think that stuff is probably worse than the Leinenkugel Summer Shandy I picked up because it was $2.99/6pk at the local beer mart. Just venturing a guess, never tried Zima myself.

I think Leiney's taste like fruity pebbles.

So, Anheuser-Busch would add a competitor's product to their own? :confused:

You sound like you've had more than enough Zima already.

BTW, for anyone who likes plain old Bud Light, try it with a piece of lime. Better than that Bud Lime stuff that's come out.

I love Bud Light and thought that would taste decent................. If I could throw it at the person that served it to me, I would've.
