Goodbye Zima! | Dlisted

I haven't had Zima in a long ass time, but it still makes me a little sad to know that I've lost a booze option. Also, Zima was clear which means it could easily look like 7up when you want to booze on the down low.

Anyway, MillerCoors has decided to let Zima go. They stopped making that crap on October 10th.

One of the whores at MillerCoors said that basically nobody buys that crap anymore. Stores and bars will still continue to get Zima shipments through December.

Zima was nationally born in 1993. It quickly became the shit to drink when I was in high school. I was never into it. I was more of a Boone's Farms kind of bitch. I liked to keep it classy.

So long, Zima! I hardly knew you, but I will miss you, because you contained alcohol. Alcohol is the daddy I never had.

If Mike's Hard Lemonade gets killed, I will jump off this planet. That shit is the best.

I'm with you, MK. My first drunk was 14 and on Boones Farm. Yuk. I think I just had a mini-vomit.

Zima, the official drink of Babylon 5.

At least it will live on in the reruns.

Zima. I remember drinking them with Jolly Ranchers in them. That was the only way they were any good. Boone's Farm, MD 20/20, Purple Passion. I'm missing the HS days now.

Zima was the first alchohol I ever bought, very underage and completely illegally.

I remember it well. My friend and I were driving around in her electric blue Ford Probe and she decided she wanted to get drunk. This was 1993 and we were both 17 years old. "Let's get some Zima!" she said. We then spent the next three hours driving all over LA trying to find a liquor store that would sell it to us without asking for ID. We persevered and eventually found one.

I'd never tried it before. I took one sip and thought it was some nasty ass shit, so I managed to drink only about a half a bottle of the stuff. My friend polished off the remaining five and a half bottles. I ended the night with a sense of accomplishment: I had triumphed over the underage drinking laws.

My friend ended the night by getting sick. The most ironic thing about this is that she's a Mormon.

I once found a pack of Zima in the parking lot at Six Flags. Tasted crap, sort of what sprite and alcohal must taste like, but not the yummy and Bicardi Lemon and Sprite taste, a nasty kind of taste. I think only middle schoolers drank that stuff.

As for Mike's Hard Lemonaide, yuck. It alwasy left a really nasty taste in my mouth. No matter how many times I brushed my teeth the taste was still there.

No one really drank Zima unless someone brought it to the party. We pretty much stuck with Boone's Farm and beer, as it was cheapest. Although Strawberry Hill was the most popular, I liked the Country Kwencher(sp?) flavor best. But my absolute fave was Purple Passion. Does anyone remember that shit? It had everclear in it. A 4pack of Passion and you were off your head. My hardcore drunk friends liked Mad Dog 20/20.

Memories.

I HATED that Zima shit...I was more of a Boone's Farm and/or Hooch gal myself...but it does remind me of college b/c it was wicked popular then...but so was grunge rock, so take that as you wish. :)

me too MJ, but me & my girls were hard-core teenage drunks...a bottle each of Strawberry Hill Boones was just the starter, we finished it off with a bottle of MD 20/20...Boones & MD 20/20...1 bottle each, no sharing...guaranteed great drunk times!

zima came out in 93 and that may have been the last time I had one. I remember being eager to try it because I really hate beer.

93 was a good year. :)

I do recall some drink was improved by the addition of vodka but I don't remember if that was zima or wine coolers...

The first time I had a Zima, I had the distinct urge to fondle another man's penis. Zima made me gay. It's not genetic.

I have just logged in so that I can express my condolences to a good liquor product gone to waste. Zima has brought a lot to the alcoholics in this country. It was a nearly undetectable malt liquor beverage to the hardened alchy's in the world, and really kept your buzz going sufficiently. I, for one, will truly miss Zima (Smirnoff Water is a viable option, however, the alcohol by volume is too less to be comparable). Godspeed, Zima! I'll see you on the other side... : (

Zima + Vodka + Swedish Fish = what blurry college memories are made of.

THANKS MK for posting this.

To honor this very sad day, I'm having a Zima Chopin Vodka Cocktail... for old time's sake. I'll drop a Swedish Fish in it for the hell of it.

I call O'Doul's O'Stools, a friend of mine quit drinking for a week. During that week he drank O'Doul's and had violent diarreah. Consequently he started drinking the hard stuff again and credits good ol'regular alcohol with firming up his bowel movements. He said he will never go on the wagon again.

Zima is actually the only alcoholic drink I've ever had and I've only had one. I drank it and then went to sleep. The next morning I woke up and felt fine so I never even got to see how it felt.

I will make a stop tonight to see if I can find PSL a 6 pack, it should last her 2-3 years.

All you Zima lovers have no one to blame but yourselves; you only drink 2-3 bottles maybe twice a year. If you had stepped it up and drank a 6 or 12 pack weekly, you wouldn't be kissing this product goodbye. You don't see anyone stopping the production of MD 20/20; why, because true hard-core alkies are always yanking it off the shelves and drinking it wrapped up in a brown paper bag.
