Purple Passion and Cisco

I finally gave in a couple of months ago and got a facebook account. I did it because, after about a million emails from different friends inviting me to join, I was little curious . The thing that annoys me about facebook is the applications that people send to me. I am not talking once in a while, I guarantee that there is at least 15 waiting for me right now. Now it's cute to send a little hug to a friend you haven't seen in a while, but, I have no interest in sending a guppy to a friend in order to save the planet. I need to know how me sending a cartoon guppy to a girl I knew in middle school (who by the way, is a stay at home mom just like me) is going to save our planet?Anyways..........This leads me to the latest application I have been getting, the Blast from the past application. Wow, is all I can say about this one. Side pony tails, Goonies, Garbage Pail Kid cards, teased big hair, underoos, Fragle rock, trapper keepers, swatch watches, rubber bracelets, roos, rubiks cubes, mullets, parachute pants, pop rocks, members only jackets, jelly shoes, hyper color t-shirts, boom boxes, banana clips and the list goes on and on (although if you don't keep sending these little gifts to all your other facebook friends, you can't unlock other blast from the past pictures). Okay so two of the items on the list that grabbed my attention were, Purple Passion and Cisco. Ahhhh..........the memories and the hangovers. You have to remember Purple Passion and its sister drink, Tropical Passion? And Cisco, in the early 90's, it had the reputation as being "liquid crack"? I actually was kind of fond of Purple passion myself. But did you know that it is made by Everclear? You know Everclear, as in Grain alcohol Everclear? 190 proof alcohol, Everclear? It actually came in a 2 liter bottle (exactly like the kind you get soda in), but one of the ingredients was everclear alcohol. Well now, that explains why one of those bottles would make me and about 10 of my friends throw up for 2 days LOL. It was cheap, but it really did have a nice taste (kind of like a grape flavored soda). I went online to see if its sold anywhere, and I found one website that was selling the same bottle I used to buy for $3.00 at 11.99 each now. Wow, talk about inflation. I guess I won't be having a purple passion memory party anytime soon. So now Cisco......... where do I begin with Cisco? Cisco was in a bottle a little bigger than a wine cooler bottle, and it was cheap wine that was so potent that teens were popping up left and right with alcohol poisoning from drinking that one little bottle. Hence, the liquid crack name. Personally, I got drunk on it once or twice before a high school football game. But, I found it a little too sweet and syrupy for my liking. I guess they still sell it in certain parts of the U.S. , but it lost it's buzz after several lawsuits in the 90's. I did however find a hilarious website that I got a kick out of - www.ghettowine.com . These people find all the cheap crap you used to buy in high school and they drink it now as adults and review it. Nothing is funnier than a serious review of Mad Dog 20/20. Go ahead check it out and get a laugh.
