The terrible thing about these isn’t the fake orange juice combined with rot gut vodka, it’s that (at least in my area) they want twelve freaking dollars for this shit. That’s three bucks a can!
You could literally buy an entire jug of not-orange juice as well as a 750 ml bottle of vodka for less.
And it’ll taste better because it isn’t a seltzer
Don’t forget the gallon of topo chico to dilute everything to the point of almost no taste
A younger me would sometimes go for what we called cosmonaut screwdrivers - vodka and tang
We used to do that with some crushed ice so it was like a slushy. We called it poon Tang though…
Not gonna lie. I may not go out and buy that, but I have made similar cocktails at home, and they were pretty tasty.
Don’t bother getting the hard version of Arizona Iced Tea. Shit tastes like you’re drinking paint.
Thanks for the warning
I have had them and it’s quite good

You should try long drink. Grapefruit and gin, lots of sugar though.
Tang gets used quite often in my mixes 😆
Had friends over, and one asked if I could make a mimosa (I can, provided I have the ingredients - which I did not because we had already agreed on margaritas). Was like 😬 and looked around the kitchen. Improvised a white trash mimosa with Tang, lemon lime sparkling water, and vodka. It was deemed acceptable lol.
I mean, it’s just a shitty screwdriver.
Zero grams sugar? That is not Sunny D
I’m guessing this is closer to a Sunny D flavored White Claw than anything else.
Faking the flavor of something that’s faking the flavor of something else. Genius.
I’ve seen worse stuff. I’ve caused worse stuff.
In my Chemistry uni times, I already prepared limoncello at home (vodka infused with lemon peels). Nothing weird, right. I even brought some to the uni parties, people loved that stuff.
And in the Organics lab one of the practical tasks was to synthesise isoamyl acetate, also known as banana oil. It’s completely safe as food/drink flavouring, but it has a clearly artificial banana flavour.
Then there’s that muppet connecting both things. He took inspiration of my limoncello, but he wanted to do things “like a chemist”. So he prepared a batch of isoamyl acetate, and used it to flavour vodka. He also used a buttload of sugar and yellow food dye. And he brought that to a uni party.
He called it “bananacello”. Everyone else, including me, called it “banana de plástico” (plastic banana). We still drunk it to the end, because “a good chemist likes alcohol” was our motto back then.
Then there’s this:
and this:
“Part of a complete breakfast!”
Founders makes some great beer.
Founders is indeed a great brewery. I’ve not had a bad beer from them.
Oooh, they’ve got one called “Breakfast Stout” that sounds interesting, ill have to give it a try next time I see it. I like me a good coffee stout.

Breakfast Stout in the bottle is a damn good stout. But Breakfast Stout on tap is maybe one of the greatest stouts of all time. If I ever see it on a beer menu on tap, I always get it.
For anyone curious: I drink this every so often. It’s very good, but it’s not what you might call “easy drinking.” It’s the kind that fights back a little.
I don’t drink and that sounds amazing.
Edit: in case anyone’s curious, I’m don’t tend to drink because I don’t really like the taste of alcohol, and cocktails are too tasty. I need something that tastes good, but not so good that I feel tempted to become an alcoholic. I’d bet that the French toast brew is tasty enough for me to enjoy the flavor, but not so tasty that I’d want to drink it every day. That said, I have had people tell me, “oh this beer is amazing you have to try it” and then it tastes like shit, so it who knows.
After that, a liquid lunch and pass out before dinner.
Founders is a great brewery too. I bet it’s legit.
Here’s lunch:
Hey hey! Banana man!
Ha!!
Yes it does taste like Buffalo Wings, they also had a Ranch flavor to go along with it.
Martin House is my absolute favorite brewery.
I’d try it just to complain about it. I love beer. I love wings. I don’t think I’d like wangz flavoured beer.
I vould buy this

I am also a vampire and I also vant to buy this.
To be fair, peanut butter porters are generally pretty good. There’s a local brewery near me that makes one, and they don’t even have a spot for it on the shelf because it’s sold out before they can stock it.
All well and good. It’s just not for me. I only post in jest and expect those who enjoy that sort of thing to ignore my jabs and carry on.

Haven’t tried that one, but I’ve had a peanut butter stout before. It was pretty good. Tasted like a reeses stout.
“Part of a complete breakfast!”
I mean, if you eat a complete breakfast, wouldn’t anything you drank/ate during that be considered part of the complete breakfast? Healthy people hate that one trick.
Every canned cocktail I’ve ever had was awful, but some people like them.
This is just a pre-made screwdriver.
I was interested till I saw it was seltzer. Screwdrivers don’t need to be bubbly. Sounds like they mashed a mimosa (good) with a screwdriver ( good) and it’s going to come out like a vodka infused mimosa, which I wouldn’t care for.
Screwdrivers are typically made with orange juice. Sunny D is more like the equivalent of orange Koolaid.
I like the bulleit old fashioned
To be fair that comes in a bottle. It definitely tastes like a certain type of old fashioned, but there are so many ways to make an old fashioned that not everybody’s going to like it.
Personally the bullet rye makes a good old fashioned in my book
Yeah the metal interferes with the taste.
I like Zimas and Smirnoff Ice but those always come in glass. I bet they’d be weird in a can.
Drink cans are lined with plastic so you shouldn’t get any metal taste if you pour it into a glass before drinking. If you drink straight from the can you may get a slight taste.
Mmmm tide pod vodka
Real OGs go for this seltzer instead.
Ok, the test group people have concluded that if we go forward with “grape drank”, some people are going to get angry. I’ve invested all of my father’s money in this, I can’t back out now!
Why am I just noticing that this is AI generated? Boooo. I was hoping it was real.
“Orange juice, purple stuff… Sunny D Vodka! Thanks, mom!”
Screwdrivers with sunny d are better than regular OJ, IMO. The extra sweetness cuts out the alcohol taste more. But as a 0 sugar seltzer? The carbonic acid just makes alcohol like this taste like shit without added sugar.
Sometimes I drink a screwdriver because I want to drink, but I want to feel like I’m doing something healthy. This kills that illusion. I’ll pass.
Even OJ without alcohol isn’t exactly healthy.
Yeah, it’s got lots of sugar and stuff. It feels healthy though.
They pump it full of sucrolose or similar so it tastes super sweet
Sparkling screwdriver?
Ew
