Just got back from Freddys in Salem ( Fred Meyer)....they had REALLY been pushing this stuff in the last few weeks..i mean every 2 feet pyramids of the stuff on the beer aisle mainly completely blocking access to the cider and craft beer bomber section, even had to move them more than once to get beer.
Tonight they are all marked down and up by the too old bread and out of date frozen food area.
I suppose this is just a local fail.
I still dont know why they retired Zima if they are still trying this crap out.
I know its for the ladies but most women i date prefer a real cocktail

Mikes is huge for us, there is still a market, they are just trying to cash in on a fad like they always do.

I could not believe how they were allowed to block out all the other ciders..disgraceful.
This is why it IS A BIG DEAL about Elysian and 10 Barrel.

The store set up displays blocking other items for sale? Sounds like the floor manager needs to get a clue.

With the success of the a-rita series I’d assume we are going to see more and more cocktail beers. Steel reserve and a few other malt liquor brands are already doing it. You see some of the high octane cider companies adding fruit flavors as well. People seem to dig it. Basically fruity soda for $2 or less a 24-25oz can that gets you buzzed quick.

I wish...the long island is the least undrinkable (and selling the best from what I see). The other two are a-goddamn-trocious.

Put some in your ’fridge. When they’re gone, they’ll be tradeable.

It will be sooner than you think that these alcoholic soda pops are going to be the most popular alcoholic beverages period. They are cheap and people like them.

I wouldn’t go that far. They’ve been around as long as I can remember in one form or another, and they’ve never taken over the market like that.
