A good article about Cel-Ray, at Nextbook. Do all religions have their own special beverages? I wonder. Imagine what a funny list we could make, if we were so inclined. But we're not.
- #But if they're not going to deliver the random stuff that's hard to find at every single grocery and gas station in town, I'm not 100% sure what the point is. Yes this is another veiled reference to Baja Blast, so what.
- #The folks at Second Rate Snacks are doing top notch work in the field of Beverage Research, offering insightful analysis on topics such as "Mello Yello vs Mountain Dew", "Fresca vs Squirt," and "Sunkist vs Fanta vs Crush." This is exactly the kind of scientific inquiry that is going to put America back on top.
- #I had one of these the other day. I might review it, might not. The point I want to make is that the website really stresses me out for some reason. I don't know if it's the confusing flash interface or the ultra-hype techno assault, but the panic attacks that ensue definitely provide accurate synaesthesia for the effects of the beverage.
- #Some Russian variations on the new Pepsi logo.
- #Josh I know you were ready to make the new Coke designs your special girlfriend for a while back there, so I wondered if you had opinions on the new Pepsi stuff they've been talking about at Brand New. Like here and here and here.
It's interesting that Pepsi is trying to reinvent their look by pushing it in new and different directions, whereas Coke seems to be simplifying and looking backward. What does it all mean, I wonder.

These are the end times.
I’ve been telling Josh this from time immemorial!

This is just another attempt at “The Man” to hijack white trash culture (couture?) and commodify it into some branded, lame packaging that of course I’m going to have to go out and buy now.
Clamato is the nector of Hell and back when it was being test-marketing in San Diego and like no where else, I thought for sure it wouldn’t take. I’d call my friends from college and tell them about this monstrosity and they’d laugh and laugh. Cut to 2 years later and their fridge is stocked with the stuff.
But I digress… Shitty beer and tomato juice was ALWAYS the poor man’s Bloody Mary (some call it by other names, but they are wrong)… So I guess it was just a matter of time until Clamato and Bud joined evil forces…
sounds kinda good, though… might have to try it… just the once…

Oh F*#%ing eeeeeeww. Tomato Juice??? Ew. Ew. Ew. Leave beer alone for heavens sake.
BTW can I full out swear here or will my comment get deleted?? It’s ok either way but it’s just alot easier to not have to do those symbol things. Anyways, I’d like to be respectful cuz I like this place and don’t want to be booted.
K thanx!!

I’ve tried this and it isn’t very good. What kills it is the disgusting sweetness at the back end of very sip.
The sharpness of the beer is first to hit your tongue, followed by the thickness and full flavor of the Clamato. But then this “WTF is this? Fruit punch?” kind of syrupiness kicks in making it a challenge to choke down.

From Mexico City south to the Guatemalan border they have been drinking Micheladas for the past 50 years. This is a pretty good imitation. The real deal: Salsa Buffalo, Jugo Limon, Salsa Englaisa, Salted glass, Ice, Corona or Pacifico. Best Budweiser I ever tasted. My favorite beer: Stone IPA. So diss me.
