It's back! Limited time only! Being in my mid-thirties I grew up with knowledge of this mysterious beverage but was fortunate enough to be too young to actually consume it. So hearing of it's return and seeing it at the grocery store I decided I must partake in the forbidden fruit. My partner warned me, it's not good, don't do it. I did not heed the warnings and went to the bar and ordered one. It should have been a bad sign when I was offered a Jolly Rancher. I was told I should drop it into the beverage to improve the taste. What could a Jolly Rancher do? I had swig. It's not that bad! "Wait a second..." Ugh, it tastes like a vodka tonic that someone has vomited in. I went for the Jolly Rancher. It was not an improvement, it tasted like vodka tonic, watermelon and vomit.  Don't buy this poo poo. 90's nostalgia is not worth it.

Dear diary, Today I had a glass of water that wasn't as cold as I wanted it to be. It was moderately cold, but not as cold as if it had, like, a LOT of ice in it. You know how sometimes you have like, a lot a lot of ice in the glass and the water is SUPER cold and it's too cold? And then sometimes you don't have enough ice and you pour the water in and the ice all melts and the little left over cubes just sorta float at the top all mostly melted and gross and the tepid water just makes them spin around? This was definitely the latter. For sure. Anyway, there wasn't even a lemon slice to go in the water and so I'm sitting there, with this barely below room temperature water without lemon, without straw, just LOOKING at it and I see this car go by, right? And it's RED, and it had FOUR doors on it, FOUR, can you believe that? There was only one guy in it! And I was like holy poo poo what does one guy need four doors on a car for if there's only one of him? Seems weird to me.

Zima is the most 3O drink tho. In my head, 3O is a cross between Billy Eichner, Otto Warmbier and Morrisey, holding a Zima.

Zima Clearmalt is a clear, lightly carbonated alcoholic beverage, that was made and distributed by the Coors Brewing Company. Introduced in 1993, it was marketed as an alternative to beer, an example of what is now often referred to as a cooler, with 4.7%–5.4% alcohol by volume.[1] Its production in the United States ceased in October 2008, but it is still marketed in Japan.[2] MillerCoors announced on June 2, 2017 that there would be a limited release of Zima. It is currently for sale for a limited time.[3] Zima Type Malt beverage Manufacturer Coors Brewing Company Country of origin U.S. Introduced 1993, 2017 (limited release) Discontinued U.S. 2008 Proof (US) 10 Variants Citrus, Tangerine, Pineapple Citrus Related products Smirnoff Ice History Zima means "winter" in Slavic languages. David Placek, at Lexicon Branding, working with the company's Russian linguist came up with the name. It was launched nationally in the United States as Zima Clearmalt in 1993 after being test-marketed two years earlier in the cities of Nashville, Sacramento, and Syracuse. The lemon-lime drink was part of the "clear craze" of the 1990s that produced products such as Crystal Pepsi and Tab Clear.[4] The slogans used in early advertisements for Zima were "a truly unique alcohol beverage" and "Zomething different". Zima offered an alternative to the then-successful wine cooler category, and it became very popular. Coors spent $50 million marketing Zima in its first year, persuading nearly half of American alcohol drinkers to try it. Brandweek magazine reported that at Zima's peak in 1994, 1.2 million barrels of the beverage were sold. Originally popular among young women, Coors made its first attempt at attracting young men to the brand in 1995 by marketing Zima Gold, an amber-colored beverage that promised a "taste of bourbon"; the drink was unpopular and disappeared from store shelves within the year.[4] In describing "The Long, Slow, Torturous Death of Zima", writer Brendan Koerner cited Zima's perceived reputation as a "girly-man" beverage and its persistent parodying by late-night TV host David Letterman.[4] The Chicago Tribune reported that distributors were asked to stock "caffeinated alcoholic beverage Sparks on retail store shelves to make up for Zima’s absence".[5] In the late 2000s, the beverage was marketed in three additional flavors: citrus, tangerine, and pineapple citrus.[4] In addition, blackberry and green apple flavors were also marketed. On October 20, 2008, MillerCoors LLC announced that it had discontinued production of Zima in the U.S., choosing instead to focus on other "malternative" beverages.[4] Zima is still sold and marketed in Japan.[6] In February of 2017, MillerCoors announced that they are in negotiations to bring Zima back to the U.S. market.[7] On June 2, 2017, it was announced the Zima would have a limited release beginning on July 4th weekend.[3]

I worked at a gay bar in the early 2000's and I had a guy that would buy zima with a shot of grenadine in it, it was a good while after I found out he was using the grenadine to hide the fact he was pouring whiskey into the bottle after he left the my eyesight.
