Future generations will never experience making this stuff with too little water to create a mixer that hides the taste of cheap booze.
Yeah... water... we definitely weren't using light beer to water down our hard liquor with this stuff
Given the choice between Flint water and Coors Light, I'd take the Flint water, thanks.
As someone who grew up in Colorado and now lives in Michigan, this hits hard.
As someone who has only left the East Coast to visit Texas (primarily for the eclipse) and Mexico, I feel like I have to ask...
Do the Rockies actually taste like donkey piss and sadness?
Based on the history, yeah probably.
🤮
Juice concentrate, light beer and cheap booze? You got some advanced mixes
If I remember correctly the recipe was 1 handle of Everclear, 1 case of Natty light and 1 or 2 of the pink lemonade blocks. Easy and guaranteed to get you blackout drunk
Case of natty and handle of 190 proof alcohol would be an emergency room visit for most if they’re lucky.
I actually did the math and it works out to 17% abv or about 34 proof. Certainly on the high end of what you should put in a solo cup but we also usually had ice and as previously noted, the objective was to get fucked up
My money is that someone will start pitching it as a green alternative. Dry / powered soaps are hot again because you’re not shipping and storing a bunch of water.
If coke was smart, they would’ve put this green and brown tube, and called it “Juice, by Ecofruit”
Energy wise it's a wash whether it's concentrated or not. Concentrated requires reducing it which is just boiling it down (under a vacuum apparently to reduce temps needed), and then freezing during transportation. Non-concentrated weighs more so more energy for transportation and more packaging, and still needs cooling. So they come out comparable afaik.
I don't believe that. On electric vehicles, 90% of the energy is used to move the thing. A charged EV battery can power a standard household worth of appliances for two days.
Furthermore, the energy expenditure to dehydrate the concentrate is a one-time b cost, whereas transportation cost increases with distance.
What I DO believe is that manufacturers see transportation as less of a cost, because they offload it to distribution networks.
Do you have any idea how much energy is needed to boil something down? It's a shit ton.
As for distance, you know they can do the calculations for a country right?
This is not a calculation by the manufacturer. You're weaving around everything.
I would filter concentrate it. But that's just me.
I think it would clog up the filter pretty damn quickly. Ps You'd need reverse osmosis, which clogs up even with mostly clean water.
Current generations including my own have already not had that experience.
Shame, “Get Laid Lemonade” got me through college.
This was the foundational element of my jungle juice recipe.
Bringing new meaning to Minute Maid.
oh ok
Oh, NOW you tell me about this
Minute Maid isn't the only one who makes this. There's usually a couple choices in the freezer aisle.
Minute maid is the only maker left if you're Canadian. The other maker stopped production a couple of years ago.
Could still use Tang
Used to make margaritas that way in college. Get the frozen limeade mix and replace half the water with equal parts cheap silver tequila and triple sec. Slice up some fresh lime on top if you're feeling fancy.
They're really good but will absolutely wreck your shit.
Just use powdered Tang, same results.
