A younger me would sometimes go for what we called cosmonaut screwdrivers - vodka and tang
We used to do that with some crushed ice so it was like a slushy. We called it poon Tang though…
When I was at school, Sunny D and Vodka was a recommended mix to make you ill enough to throw up and miss school the next day. I can’t believe people willingly drink this shit…
Screwdrivers with sunny d are better than regular OJ, IMO. The extra sweetness cuts out the alcohol taste more. But as a 0 sugar seltzer? The carbonic acid just makes alcohol like this taste like shit without added sugar.
They pump it full of sucrolose or similar so it tastes super sweet
Sometimes I drink a screwdriver because I want to drink, but I want to feel like I’m doing something healthy. This kills that illusion. I’ll pass.
Even OJ without alcohol isn’t exactly healthy.
Yeah, it’s got lots of sugar and stuff. It feels healthy though.
Does it come in Tang flavor?
That’s called a Poontang
We called that a cosmonaut screwdriver
Fucking Tang! Got a shiver down my spine just from reading its name. Fucking disgusting shit, tasted like blinker fluid.
Tang is better for sandwiches.
I dont drink alcohol myself, but isnt there some kind of drink, like the kind they mix up at bars, not sure the term for those kinds, that is just orange juice mixed with vodka? I must imagine this is intended to be similar but premade.
They are called Screwdrivers, yes
The difference between Sunny D and orange juice is like the difference between Tik Tok and real life. One may be vaguely similar to the other, but they aren’t are for sure not interchangeable.
to be perfectly honest, Ive not had sunny d since I was in like, kindergarten, so I dont really recall what its like much beyond that its orange flavored.
It used to be called Sunny Delight, and it was in a commercial someone Gen-Xified the script by having a kid exclaim “Sweet! Sunny D!” after rummaging through the other drinks.
God only knows what this stuff is. Probably some Soviet Union time travel scam from Dimension X.
As a (young) millennial, I feel like it was always called Sunny D, though the name was Sunny Delight. Is my memory wrong? I’m pretty sure it isn’t a Gen-x thing at least. It’s got to be millennials.
I’m the oldest millennial and the kid was older than me in the commercial
Ah, totally misread your comment. I habitually read Z instead of X.
Sunny D plus vodka is still good. Some friends in college mixed up a water cooler full of Sunny D, vodka, and blue curacao for a st patty’s day thing. Was bright green, tasted great, and was quite strong.
I’ve always heard orange juice + vodka called a screwdriver.
And not gonna lie, I’d try it.
I’ve never made one with Sunny D, but a screwdriver is pretty tasty.
Then there’s this:
and this:
“Part of a complete breakfast!”
To be fair, peanut butter porters are generally pretty good. There’s a local brewery near me that makes one, and they don’t even have a spot for it on the shelf because it’s sold out before they can stock it.
All well and good. It’s just not for me. I only post in jest and expect those who enjoy that sort of thing to ignore my jabs and carry on.
For anyone curious: I drink this every so often. It’s very good, but it’s not what you might call “easy drinking.” It’s the kind that fights back a little.
I don’t drink and that sounds amazing.
Edit: in case anyone’s curious, I’m don’t tend to drink because I don’t really like the taste of alcohol, and cocktails are too tasty. I need something that tastes good, but not so good that I feel tempted to become an alcoholic. I’d bet that the French toast brew is tasty enough for me to enjoy the flavor, but not so tasty that I’d want to drink it every day. That said, I have had people tell me, “oh this beer is amazing you have to try it” and then it tastes like shit, so it who knows.
I vould buy this
You should it’s great.
I am also a vampire and I also vant to buy this.
Yes it does taste like Buffalo Wings, they also had a Ranch flavor to go along with it.
Martin House is my absolute favorite brewery.
I’d try it just to complain about it. I love beer. I love wings. I don’t think I’d like wangz flavoured beer.
Founders makes some great beer.
Founders is indeed a great brewery. I’ve not had a bad beer from them.
Oooh, they’ve got one called “Breakfast Stout” that sounds interesting, ill have to give it a try next time I see it. I like me a good coffee stout.
Breakfast stout is IMHO one of the first great stouts of the American craft beer revolution in the late 2000’s
Breakfast Stout in the bottle is a damn good stout. But Breakfast Stout on tap is maybe one of the greatest stouts of all time. If I ever see it on a beer menu on tap, I always get it.
After that, a liquid lunch and pass out before dinner.
Founders is a great brewery too. I bet it’s legit.
Here’s lunch:
Ha!!
Hey hey! Banana man!
Haven’t tried that one, but I’ve had a peanut butter stout before. It was pretty good. Tasted like a reeses stout.
I don’t see a problem
“Part of a complete breakfast!”
I mean, if you eat a complete breakfast, wouldn’t anything you drank/ate during that be considered part of the complete breakfast? Healthy people hate that one trick.
Mmmm tide pod vodka

That only proves we are a failed species
Every canned cocktail I’ve ever had was awful, but some people like them.
This is just a pre-made screwdriver.
Yeah the metal interferes with the taste.
I like Zimas and Smirnoff Ice but those always come in glass. I bet they’d be weird in a can.
Drink cans are lined with plastic so you shouldn’t get any metal taste if you pour it into a glass before drinking. If you drink straight from the can you may get a slight taste.
Screwdrivers are typically made with orange juice. Sunny D is more like the equivalent of orange Koolaid.
I like the bulleit old fashioned
To be fair that comes in a bottle. It definitely tastes like a certain type of old fashioned, but there are so many ways to make an old fashioned that not everybody’s going to like it.
Personally the bullet rye makes a good old fashioned in my book
I was interested till I saw it was seltzer. Screwdrivers don’t need to be bubbly. Sounds like they mashed a mimosa (good) with a screwdriver ( good) and it’s going to come out like a vodka infused mimosa, which I wouldn’t care for.
“Orange juice, purple stuff… Sunny D Vodka! Thanks, mom!”
Ew
Advertising is fun!
Real OGs go for this seltzer instead.
Why am I just noticing that this is AI generated? Boooo. I was hoping it was real.
Ok, the test group people have concluded that if we go forward with “grape drank”, some people are going to get angry. I’ve invested all of my father’s money in this, I can’t back out now!
I’ve tried this. It’s drinkable but not very enjoyable. 5/10
