Re: An open letter to hard seltzer
You have to admit, the cosmos has a wicked sense of humor. I’m sure that’s why there is now a 12 pack of Vizzy hard seltzer sitting in my kitchen. Before you prepare your ridicule, let’s get a few things straight:
- I did NOT ask or pay any money for this dumpster gargle.
- A friend dropped it off. Someone left it at his place (who obviously didn’t want it) and now he’s left it at my place and obviously didn’t want it.
- It has antioxidants and vitamin C!
Mixed flavors. Give it up for the cliche players Black Cherry Lime, Pineapple Mango, Blueberry Pomegranate and that darling Kiwi Strawberry. 5% alcohol, bitches. Yes, Vizzy is 50% Zima and 100% bullshit. Great, now I’m going to have to put on a sundress and start drinking this potable fluff. Or perhaps it would be better to mix it with Everclear and commit ritual suicide. Haven’t decided yet, though for your own petty amusements I shall keep y’all posted.

Re: An open letter to hard seltzer
good question. from what I remember of my brewery days, we spent most of money on packaging, which is pros why we went under.Badfellow wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 7:48 amBingo. Marketing and popularity.
Which leads to the question: does marketing drive popularity? Or vice versa?

Hard seltzer sux. But I will confess to a longing for good old California Coolers.Badfellow wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:21 amDear hard seltzer,
How popular you’ve become as of late. Everywhere I turn, there you seem to be on bar menus and in advertisements. Even breweries have forgotten they are brewers in a mad dash for the slightest fraction of hard seltzer market shares. How garish are the colors of your label in concealment of your true content, so pale and void of backbone, so wanting for potable character.
Yes, hard seltzer, you are the bastard son of Zima. You are the wine cooler of today gone tomorrow. When the gimmickry of your carbonation and crappy fruit flavorings have been removed, you’re just water in a can. I’d rather have a real drink.
Sincerely,
Badfellow
Very proud of myself that I didn’t swear once in that entire fucking letter.
