Eat 'em with a knife and fork and avoid getting your fingers messy? Seems kind of silly to me ...

sorry to our local friends, but Horse Piss beer - may very well be the worst beer name ever, Ever!! (the beer really isn't that bad)
and since we're feeling funny, how about Reaganomics

Well I have to admit I'm quite the fan of Chelada...Beer, lime juice, and Clamato.
I find them quite refreshing on a hot day after mowing the lawn. To each their own I guess.

It looks like the soda companies might be in the lead on this one so far.

I love Coke zero more than diet coke. When I was in labor I would have ripped someone's arm off for a can of it. I have no idea why, but I was dying for one.

Another vote for Coke Zero. And Sprite Zero ain't too shabby, either.

I don't know what I'd do without Coke Zero. I've given up most sweet things, but I do really like soft drinks. Diet Coke is just a bit too bitter or sharp for me, but Zero is just right, and when it's extremely cold is so satisfying, and I like a Vanilla for variety now and then. Cherry Coke Zero, though, tastes like you're drinking a cheap car air freshener.

I also like Sprite Zero just fine. For a brief week or two, you could get Fanta Zero at Speedways around here, and that was good. Diet Orange Crush has disappeared almost as fast.

I remember GM marketing a diesel-powered Chevorlet "Chevette" during the mid-70's...one bad idea compounded by another.

I was just at Highlands Valu Market and there was a guy with 5 or 6 twelve packs of TAB in his shopping cart, and little else.

Here's another "Yes" vote for Coke Zero. Way, way better than Diet Coke, et al.
