Smirnoff Ice SUCKS

I just tried this for the first time... YEEUCH! I mean, it's not gross or anything, but it tastes like freakin' fruit juice. I can barely even taste the alcohol (not that there's much there, it's only 5%). [edit]Here in the US, we get a different version of the drink (no vodka) than the rest of the world. That sucks, too.[/edit] --Mike-- Just released - 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click! My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm
You won't appreciate the pic in my profile then :) (With proper vodka-containing smirnoff ice) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Yeah... I don't really see the appeal of all these new not-quite-soft drinks. Vodka mixes well with many different liquids, if you really can't stand to drink your juice/coffee/lemonade/milk without some alcohol in. Or be honest about it and drink cider. Personally, i blame the lack of flavor in popular "lite" beer for this trend.

Odd thing though, once when I was in the states I bought a Labatt Blue (Canadian beer) and nowhere on the label could I find the % of alcohol. BTW, I stole/borrowed the margin-bottom tag from your sig. :-O

I see you are talking about the US version (I hear it is comparable to three day old warm beer?), the RoW version is really quite drinkable though nothing really special. I agree with Brian tohugh - Black Ice is really very nice indeed, and from the label I assume it is basically the same recipe but with Smirnoff Black and less "cloudy" food dye. I could be wrong though, I never did bother to ask what was in it. Black Ice is to Smirnoff Ice what carbonated spring water is to tap water.

You mean you can drink carbonated water? I tried some once and nearly threw up. Obviously not the taste, just the sensation. Bubbles and water just don't mix. Except perhaps, in a spa. :D
