Magners or Bulmers

[Wycombe Fox]

Neither. Both are overpriced commercial tosh (IMHO)!

When I tried Magners last year I couldn't finish one glass - way, way too sweet and made me feel

[Durnerz]

Magners! My favourite drink at the moment

Thunderbird

17.5% alc. by vol.

As pictured to the left, look for the pigeon feces and you'll find this old bird. As soon as you taste this swill, it will be obvious that its makers cut every corner possible in its production to make it cheap. Self-proclaimed as "The American Classic," Thuderbird is Vinted and bottled by E&J Gallo Winery, in in Modesto, CA. Disguised like Night Train, the label says that it is made by "Thunderbird, Ltd." If your taste buds are shot, and you need to get trashed with a quickness, then "T-bird" is the drink for you. Or, if you like to smell your hand after pumping gas, look no further than Thunderbird. As you drink on, the bird soars higher while you sink lower. The undisputed leader of the five in foulness of flavor, we highly discourage driking this ghastly mixture of unknown chemicals unless you really are a bum. A convenience store clerk in Show Low, AZ once told me that only the oldest of stumbling indian drunks from the reservation buy Thunderbird. Avaliable in 750 mL and a devastating 50 oz jug.

The history of Thunderbird is as interesting as the drunken effects the one experiences from the wine. When Prohibition ended, Ernest Gallo and his brothers Julio and Joe wanted to corner the young wine market. Earnest wanted the company to become "the Campbell Soup company of the wine industry" so he started selling Thunderbird in the ghettos around the country. Their radio adds featured a song that sang, "What's the word? / Thunderbird / How's it sold? / Good and cold / What's the jive? / Bird's alive / What's the price? / Thirty twice." It is said that Ernest once drove through a tough, inner city neighborhood and pulled over when he saw a bum. When Gallo rolled down his window and called out, "What's the word?" the immediate answer from the bum was, "Thunderbird."

WARNING: This light yellow liquid turns your lips and mouth black! A mysterious chemical reaction similar to disappearing-reappearing ink makes you look like you've been chewing on hearty clumps of charcoal.

Bum Wines

MMMM can't beat a glass of cider

Magnors if someone else buys, Strongbow if in a pub

Magnors is way too expensive for a night out or something, c'mon, remember how hard up students are

Can I come too? I'll bring the Blue Raspberry 'Bling' MD 20/20... I'll let you share it. :thumbsup:

Saw a good poster in Out Of the Vaults regarding Magners. Got a picture on my phone but its 4.15am and cant be bothered to copy it now. I'll just bump the thread for now and edit it when I've had some kip.

BTW Today (Friday) there is a Roger free TV license beer fest to celebrate Rogers 75th birthday at the Vaults. Its more of a selection of his favourite brews than a beer fest but they'll still be some good stuff to be sampled and supped.

£3.60 a pint isn't really

worth it for 4,5% ABV

alcopop but it's ok

because it comes in a

fancy, foil topped bottle.

And even though you

never demanded ice

when you drank

Strongbow you can

now give the bar

staff hell if they

forget it because

'That's how they

drink it in Ireland.'

This is Leicester

for Gods sake!

have a pint of lager

you ponce.

MARKETING FOR YOUr money.

Well I thought it funny.
