    I'm kinda sceptical about trying it, because every mango drink I've ever tried was horrible. The only one I can drink a whole can of is the Raz-Ber-Rita. I like the Straw-Ber-Rita, but, it starts getting too sweet when I get near the end.

    So, is the mango really worth trying, or will I be wasting money?

    I'm sure you're not actually expecting any serious replies, but I have friends that drink these and they all think mango is the best. I tried a sip, its not bad for what it is.

    To each his own, drink what you like..

    But with that being said, you're already wasting money purchasing any of the Bud-Ritas

    I'm not an ABInbev hater on here, but in all seriousness: I cannot think of a single reason (for me) to try any of the "-A-Rita" series. They sound like sick jokes that accidentally made it on the air, and then Budweiser kind of shrugged and said, "Well, shit; I guess we have to make it now!"

    I can not think of a single reason any of the -ritas are even on here. Not Beer.

    I don't think that you'll find many fans of anything that ends in '-Rita' on this site.

    Man, my palate has changed for the better over the past couple years but I can still definitely slurp down something like a mango-rita. I still think the first lime-arita was the "best"; to me it actually had a bit of real margarita-ness to it. I mean, no they're not exactly good but I've had them and consider them drinkable on a hot day. Now a bud light, that's hard to do these days.

    The only way I've consumed is by mixing a lot of gin with some fresh fruit and then throwing all the 'Rita's in the trash.

    No, have a thing against giving bud any of my money. I do at times drink those flavored beers but usually when camping. I do like mango though

    It was a hot day and they were cold, free and I had a designated driver. I've had worse beverages.

    These were all on sale for a buck, $1 - 8oz, two weeks ago before the Indy 500. I picked up about 3 of each. Mango was surprisingly the best one. Sliced up some fruit to throw in them and had a great day chilling with people at a race party.

    Never let someone try a beer for you man. Or in this case a pseudo-beer.

    I might sneak one of my girlfriend's Mike's Hard Mango Punch bottles from her sixers now and then... frosty cold and drank fast, the mango-ish-god-knows-what-the-hell-it-is-flavor isn't too bad, and it's refreshing enough. No alcohol noticeable at all. Hell, half the reason I like them is it works out in my favor nicely after my girl has had about 4 of them. :grinning:

    Plus if you drink Mike's, you won't be supporting big 'ole nasty ABinbev, you'll be supporting...uh... Canada, eh?

    My roommates would always buy these and I thought the mango one tasted the best out of the Ritas. They're just way too sweet. Too many of them and you get the worst hangover the day after.

    I didn't like the Mango but most BMC drinkers liked it. I like the straw- and Raz-ber-rita. Don't hate, it's a good hot weather pounder....:flushed:

    We sell a ton of them at the liquor store I work at, the cooks at the sports bar across the street seem to buy them like crazy. It's comforting to know that they are crushing these while making nachos and wings.

    Is this a serious question?
