This still exists.

Bonus tarted up Volvo hatch parked across from me. Nice wheels.

They just brought it back last Summer. I tried a few, it did not age well to me.

There are too many other quality things in the same space. Ciders have exploded, and there are a bunch of different alcoholic sodas. Zima is for nostalgia only.

I took this picture on Sunday at HEB. I was going to post it with some comment on how some mistakes shouldn’t be repeated.

If I’m going to have to drink a sorority girl drink, I’d prefer Smirnoff Ice.

Made sense when it was the only malternative drink on the shelf.

“Hey, there might be girls coming. Grab some Zima and Boone’s Farm just in case.”

Jesus, I haven’t had a Zima since grade school.

Don’t forget the jolly rancher.

Thanks for talking me back from the ledge.

Now, the Seagrams coolers were on the shelf below...

That’s, um, not a low price. I agree it would be a mistake.

I mean, you’re not wrong.

Remember Little Kings? I do, and I am ashamed at how many I drank under the same circumstances.

Oh yeah, for under 21 me, those were my JAM. Only came in a 4 pack, because 6 would be too awesome.

Zima.......makes me nostalgic for college!!!

They’re seriously still around? Impressive.

Anyone remember the abomination that was Zima Gold? Bought a 4 pack on my prom night, and left 3.5 of em in the liquor store parking lot.

Don’t feel too bad, I had plenty of other booze that night.

Now somebody get me a Mad Dog 20/20... Or a Cisco... Or a 2 liter of Purple Passion...

Haha, yeah, that sounds like nostalgia talking.

I remember Zima Gold now...unfortunately.

Oh, now MD 20/20. Nectar of life for high school me.

According to wikipedia it was discontinued in 2008 and brought back this year as a limited release.

The horror! Wine coolers were the wussy drink from my youth.

How? I don’t think I’ve seen it in anyone’s fridge for at least 15 years.

They must be burning thru cash at a Tesla rate.

It appears it has been gone for the last 10 years, but just came back as a “limited edition”. Maybe they’re testing the waters of the nostalgia market. I mean, I considered it for a second just to remind myself what it was like.

From everybody’s. I think it’s the designated entry-level beverage for teens names Chad or Mitzy.

Thank you, for your support.

Did you ever do the Mickey’s Big Mouth? It’s not quite the same since they switched from the hand grenade bottles to the twist tops. It’s actually hard to find pictures of the original bottles because it was in the days before cell phone cameras.

The original!
