In the past week, I've considered Joe Zima-pack to be the actual Republican Joe six-pack. Now it's just another dead Republican brand.

I recall David Letterman often talked about Zima, always asking, "what is this crap?" For more, check out the Wikipedia article about this "malternative."

5. I remember

when Jay Leno was joking about Kevin Costner's character in "Waterworld" taking a leak into a purifying machine, in order to drink the resultant liquid on the seawater-soaked planet. He said, "Still tastes better than Zima!"

6. I thought they quit making it years ago.

I haven't seen it since Clinton was in office. Maybe it's not in CA.

7. Good Riddance

that stuff tasted like 7-up mopped up off a frathouse couch and wrung into a bottle
