    Future generations will never experience making this stuff with too little water to create a mixer that hides the taste of cheap booze.

        Given the choice between Flint water and Coors Light, I’d take the Flint water, thanks.

      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.

      Current generations including my own have already not had that experience.

        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.
