    This site could do with a bit of nostalgia, it's great when this stuff is shared. Nice!

    I remember this stuff. I lived in Florida in the early 70's before I wised up and moved back to Ohio. It tasted just as described, malt liquor and Gator Aide. We called it alligator piss. I recall buying it up in Columbus at a carry out on North Fourth Street. It got the job done buzzwise but then so did Mickey's. Tell you what, it blows Wild Blue away for flavor.

    Are you referring to Mickey's Bigmouths? Christ when I was a teenager me and my friends would buy a case, peel off the tops and get Blasted!!!

    I don't think I could do lemon Gatorade anymore.... even with beer mixed in.
    then again, I never had a radler / shandy that I liked. I'll stick to plain ol' beer, I think.

    Plain ol' beer ay? Says the man with multiple bottles of BCBS, BCBCS, and Big John in his avatar.

    Sorry default mode for me on BA is bearded male. I suppose looking at ones gender before posting would be appropriate but what do take me for, some kind of guy that isn't lazy? I wasn't knocking you though I have plenty of BCBS and its variants myself lol.

    nah, totally fine. I swear if I keep drinking beer like this, one day I'll wake-up as a bearded dude.
    But in the interim, I'm still a blonde BA in heels and a skirt. :slight_smile:

    and to me, BCBS rocks... right up there with evil twin and firestone walker. Can't get enough (as you can tell)

    I remember that one tasting pretty much like crap. But it sure was cheap.

    This stuff had some serious product placement in the movie Repo Man.

    Just had to chime in with one of my favorite concoctions from college life (and little after). There used to be a pizza place that served a "NASCAR". Basically they poured an 8oz red bull in a red plastic pizza cup and filled the rest with draft PBR, stuff was so awful and so good. I also remember sparks. I worked next to this Greek restaurant and they used to give us cans the distributors would give them to try and sell there. Tasted like a liquid sweet tart

    Ugh. Sparks. Hangover in a can. One of the worst hangovers of my life.

    That movie is literally the reason I bought the can when I saw it at a garage sale! I really want the shirt now. Even better than the Beer was when Emilio Estevez was at his parents house and took a can of "Food" out of the cupboard and in parentheses under the word food it says meat flavored lol. Such a clasic movie.

    No Hop N Gator was something else entirely. I remember Mickey's Wide Mouth too.
