See Ya Zima

Zima's day is done. MillerCoors pulled the plug on the malternative do to declining interest. I admit that in my younger days living in Buffalo New York with friends we had a few alcopops from time to time and Zima was usually the one we ordered. It was test marketed in Syracuse, went big in Buffalo and the advertising worked on our young impressionable minds. Hey, we all have our demons but at least one of mine has been put to rest. Good riddance!

Thanks God! Do you know how embarrassing it is to go into a pub with your friends, and one orders a Zima? It is even worse when we go into a microbrewery, and he asks for a Zima with Grenadine. I guess he is going to be forced to man up, and order a Smirnoff Ice.

I don't think that I have seen anyone order a Zima in 10 years. Back in the day I remember friends ordering it with a shot of Chambord. No worries I wont reveal your names.
