I just want to help you with marketing here, Pink, and tell you that Colusa is a county near me that has absolutely nothing going for it except a thriving meth trade and one very shoddy Indian casino. Just so you know that your drink won't sell well in California.

Maybe consider a Hellman's/Best mayonnaise thing, and rename it something different for those of us out west? Chamaid, maybe? Sounds classy and French.

Pinky
I could see your drink invention being served in those redneck kitsch bbq places they have,all 4 dollar PBR's and that, can you patent a drink?

Chamaid, maybe?

Sounds too much like Camay. Make people think they're drinking perfumed soap.

That New York magazine Dipset-Jim-Jones vs. Peoples-Temple-Jim-Jones thing? I think somebody had a few too many Koolka Koolosas, ya heard?

Let's say you just put the sugar and Kool-Aid mix directly into the vodka--or, hell, directly into the Everclear. What would that be called?

Champarty is the name for the west coast, give it that youth oriented feeling.

Feelin' down, hate orange juice, love the bubbly? Have a Champarty RIGHT NOW!

posted by Divine_Wino 15 November | 16:49

YES Champarty!

Koolosas on the east coast, Champarties on the west coast.

Now, all I need is a celebrity spokesperson... wonder if Paris is available....

Nectar of The Gods. Or the Kool-Aid guy's sweat or something. A buddy of mine used to do that exact thing with Tang, actually.

(also, in the Kool-Aid commercials I've seen lately, Kool-Aid Guy's been wearing shorts. I guess post-Janet Jackson Superbowl, even glassware can't get naked on TV anymore)

Use Pop Rocks instead of Koolaid, and shake the champagne a bit (after opening and pouring a bit out first) before pouring. Call it a "Rabid Dawg." Profit.

Does anyone have the funny internet picture where the impish college age boys print out a door size picture of a brick wall and add a speech bubble saying "OOHHHH YEAHHHHHH!" and then tape it over the door and coerce their portly friend into bursting through it with a look of confusion and anger on his face?

That's a very funny picture.

It's the low complexity formula for spodie. Or so I've heard.

Didn't we all learn our lesson from the Flamin' Moe ?

posted by r. mutt 15 November | 17:16

Unless you're referring to the lesson that happiness is just a Flaming Moe away, no, I don't think we did.

For a cold, try Theraflu and vodka...

In Infinite jest there's an alcoholic with stomach problems who mixes vodka with milk of magnesia and calls it a Phillips Screwdriver.
