Didn't they try that with a thing called Tequiza? It tasted like corona and sprite...

[JAZ]

Jeez, I got that too! I was pretty successful at putting it out of my mind until you brought it back up.

And yes, visions of Tequiza danced in my head as I read the email.

When I was in Mexico working in Tecate, the same AB guys in charge of my project were working in L.A. on Tequiza. You cannot, ever-not in your wildest dreams-imagine the time and money that was spent developing that product. It was absolutely amazing. I don't know if it is still on the market, but I think that it still is being sold in some markets.

[sylunt1]

Yeah it's still around - we have it in CA. Not a huge seller, I can say that.

JAZ - sorry to bring that back to memory - somethings just should be forgotten :)

They paid money to develop that? It wasn't an oops? "Oh man who poured their sprite in my corona..." Sorry - had to say it...

Can anyone say...... "Zima"? Seems that malt liquors don't succeed long term uness they are just marketed as plain old malt liquor.
