I think it’s hilarious that we keep reinventing wine coolers every so often. Wine coolers, Zima, Smirnoff Ice, hard lemonade, twisted tea, hard seltzer… it’s all just neutral alcohol mixed with fruit juices and sugar, but we’ve got to keep coming up with fun new labels for it every ten to fifteen years so as to market it to the current hip young demographic.
The most recent one followed the anti-soda and anti-sugar trend. Hard Seltzer, as far as the eye can see. I feel like it’s on the way out though. What will they think of next!?
Zima was popular when I was a teenager. I remember a lot of my friends drinking them as an introduction to alcohol because they tasted better than beer.
A few years ago, they did a special manufacturing of Zima (since they no longer make it) and my friend bought a case. I can affirm that Zima tastes like absolute ass. Smirnoff Ice and everything after have been a huge improvement compared to that shit we had in the 90s.
I also remember Zima since they came out just before the time I began to drink underage. I make references to it every now and then and nobody ever seems to know what I’m talking about, so I feel like I’ve finally found my people here.
Or how about the birthday cake flavored Smirnoff vodka as if any adult would drink such a thing.

Straight? No. Mixed? Yes.
Mixed with what? Most people mix vodka with fruit juice or club soda and I dont see that pairing well with birthday cake flavor.
