MillerCoors finally decided to discontinue 1990s drink phenomenon, Zima, pulling the fruity alcoholic beverage off shelves across America. For good. ::Sobs:: Actually, I’ve never tried Zima, since I was about 10 during its peak. But I remember hearing jokes about the product and knowing that, even at age 10, no one should ever be seen drinking it in public.
Anywho, if there’s anyone out there who wishes to taste Zima or secretly loved it, you can sign a petition to bring that shit back. I signed it. Because I care.
(To the layperson: Zima was pretty much the pioneer for beer and hard liquor substitutes, think Smirnoff Ice and Bacardi Breezers. Also, I believe part of Zima’s appeal was its color: clear. I think its unveiling must have been during the Crystal Pepsi days.)
Slate had an intriguing article on America’s torrid love affair with the indefinable beverage. http://www.slate.com/id/2204596/pagenum/all/
Zima was the best drink on the market. I loved it. If you hold the bottle upside down, it spells AWIZ, helping stupide people get smart since 1994!!!!!!!

To human taste buds, Zima is virtually indistinguishable from zebra urine, its no bullshit proper studys have been done with it
