Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.

tasteless

update: New flavor spotted today at the same 7-11, "Liquid Artillery". Probably comes in 88, 105, & 155 oz. sizes. ;)

In the past couple of months, 7-11 has promoted the Slurpee flavors "Apocalyptic Ice" and "Bumblebee Blast". I'll assume those are movie marketing tie-ins, but they still don't sound very appealing. If they keep following that trend of bad names, someday you might see the following Slurpee flavors:
  • Mango Malaria
  • Sucker Punch
  • Psycho Shower Surprise
  • Gangreen Apple
  • Strawberry Scorpion
  • Sui-Cider
  • Very Very Verdigris
  • Bubonicberry
  • Hand Grenadine
  • Agent Orange
  • Dystopian Delight
  • Hepatitis-YAY!
Please comment if you think of any others.

I was going to suggest Obama Lemonaide, but won't now.
OT, but I always enjoyed garden salads with a splash of some Tangy Italian. Freudian?

Obama Lemonaide?!? Now that's disgusting!!! :D

let's agree to go with "Obamanade," shall we? It's doing well in focus groups!

Hatless: I liked Hepatitis-YAY! and Very Very Verdigris and Hand Grenadine, please... can I have a mix?

I recall these guys (a favorite pastime of mine and my son) once came up with a "sinful" dessert called Chocazuma's Revenge. I still laugh at that, years later:

How about "Windshield Washer Blue."

Because that's what those bright blue, ostensibly-raspberry-flavored drinks make me think of.

Oh, and does Bumblebee Blast come with a warning for those allergic to bee venom?

Wry Mouth: and to think, I muted KUSC Classical to watch that....
LOL
