And what's the deal with people paying millions for 100-year-old wine? They act like it's ambrosia or something...even though they say wine gets better with age, I can't imagine it tasting like anything else than grape juice mixed with nyquill (I've never tasted wine before though, and never will) How can something be so good that it's worth so much money? People who pay that much for wine must be really egotistical, or don't know that there are starving children in Africa whose lives they're drinking up in that sip of wine. Sickening.

I see a lot of ancient movies and they go crazy for wine. XD
Wine might get extinct as time goes by.



Yeah, I think they have alchol in it also.
Wine is an alcoholic drink...right? :P

.........PM10000!!!
*goes into a rage*
You will not drink wine when you grow up!! Do you hear me young man?!

....

Sorry about that! Hi by the way!
Hehe...

Yeah, it is alchoholic. I guess something happens to the grapes when they are kept bottled for a long time.
Like what Chrystie said!

*buts on a bartender's suit and shines a cup*
There's some strange things happening around these parts..
Hehe...

Yes, wine is an alcoholic beverage; but, the homemade wine is not. Although, I noticed that it still has the same effects as alcoholic wine does, lol. Not as bad, though. Wine does supposedly get better as it ages...I think it tastes the same, regardless! When most people think "wine=grapes", they're not the same grapes that we eat as a fruit. They're those small, round, little berries that grow in those California vineyards. That's probably why we don't realize why it tastes so gross--they're a different type of grape. They even smell rotten in my opinion...^_^;

one time i tried to make homemade root beer... it wasn't supposed to be alchoholic, and somehow it fermented... the bottles sort of exploaded when we opened them, but we managed to trap some of the liquid and verify that it tasted really bad and made your head buzz. *so uncool* just buy soda... don't make it. and buy pineapple soda... from mexico! *so cool*

I don't know, my Dad makes his own wine and he would know.

My grandfather, being Italian, used to make his own wine too. I remember tasting some when I was probably around 4 and I didn't like it at all either! I think it tastes gross too... but I haven't actually had any in a long time and I don't really plan to either. Well anyways, my grandfather used to make it in the basement and we used to call that room "the wine room." Weren't we creative with that name? But it did smell really bad. The barrel he used to make it in is now in our backyard and I think it still smells the way it did years ago... but I don't really know...

I try to contact things all of the time. When I make hot tea, I always try to act like I'm creative and add my own touch. Usually a grape or something, LOL. Spekaing of Hot tea and grapes, im thirsty!

Chairman Kaga May 15th, 2004 5:12 PM

Uhh...you didn't put real beer in your root beer did you? That would be a problem :P

I think root beer is just ginger powder, syrup, and soda water, right? I have no idea ^^;;

Now root beer is okay!
(although it's soda hehe...)
It's my favorite type of soda! A lot of my sister's friends say it tastes like medicine though. Strange.....root beer is great!
99 bottles of root beer on the wall...

^^NICK^^ v.2.0 May 15th, 2004 5:17 PM

SOme root beer is cool, like dr. pepper. But sometimes it's nasty.

Chairman Kaga May 15th, 2004 5:26 PM

Barq's root beer is pretty good too...but their cream soda owns all...has anyone ever tried it? I know cream soda isn't exactly popular these days though...it sorta tastes like vanilla code red or something...

^^NICK^^ v.2.0 May 15th, 2004 5:29 PM

I've tried Barq's. It's okay, but I like dr. pepper better. I hate root beer lollipops though.

I love root beer; I haven't had it in a while, though. Maybe when we go out tomorrow for my Mom's second birthday dinner with my grandmother and uncle I'll try getting a root beer instead of a Coke. Big change, huh! I feel like having one now, lol. But...cream soda, you say? BLECH! If there's one soda I loathe, it's cream soda. I mean, I even like Dr. Pepper better than that...*shudder* It's on such a sweet level that I take one sip and my whole mouth is due for another set of fillings...O_o Okay, okay, I'm sounding dramatic, I know! That's how much I can't stand the taste of it, though! (...It even made me rhyme on those last two sentences...)

Chairman Kaga May 15th, 2004 5:37 PM

Heh...I know a lot of people who hate cream soda for that reason ^^;; I don't think there's a soda out there that's too sugary for me though...I basically live off of sugar so I'm desensitized I think...I used to not even be able to take Mt. Dew and Sprite when I was younger, but now I can't even tell the difference between Sprite and water and Mt. Dew is still sugary but doesn't bother me. Cream soda I took a liking to instantly for some reason though o_o;;

^^NICK^^ v.2.0 May 15th, 2004 5:39 PM

Cream Soda is bearable [sp?], but if I had the choice, I wouldn't but it.

Cream soda goes along really well with ice cream! So does root beer! I really don't drink it alone......it's not too bad though!
I've never once drank coke.....well, except for one time where I was practically forced to.

I can imagine it makes a good soda float thing. SO creamy and thick.

ryan May 15th, 2004 5:56 PM

coke is lame. but, cream soda is o so good. my mom never lets me and my sisters drink it when she buys it. that's how good it is.

jscn12 May 15th, 2004 5:58 PM

Cream Soda is ok, but then again I liked Pepsi Blue so maybe my opinion is a little weird...

^^NICK^^ v.2.0 May 15th, 2004 6:00 PM

I despise coke. too um..quirky 0_0 I prefer Pepsi.

You bet it does hehe...
I don't know how Coke floats taste, (can't be better then root beer or cream soda!) but all the creaminess in the floats I drink is probably my favorite parts! It's a quick and simple dessert!

Did you know that they used to put cocaine in Coke? :P
That's why it's called Coke. XD

*~Ashley~* May 15th, 2004 6:06 PM

I don't really like root beer or Dr. Pepper. I remember when I was like 3 I had Dr. Pepper because I looked at it quickly and thought it was Coke instead. That's when I decided I don't like Dr. Pepper. I used to drink a lot of soda but now I drink mainly water. When I do have soda though, I like Mountain Dew and Sprite the best.

EDIT: Yes cocaine used to be in Coke... hence the name. Now instead of cocaine they put caffeine in it instead to give the same kinda effect. We just did presentations on drugs in health... that's why I know that off hand. But it is kinda obvious in a way...

good man! i don't really like cola (what's the "natural flavor"?) but i prefer most of pepsi's products to those of coke. although! a&w/7up/sunkist/drpepper is the best mainstream company (they're all together) *so cool*

ryan May 15th, 2004 6:10 PM

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... bad memories about dr. pepper. it's "natural flavor" i know, and it's plum. and you kow what plums do with your bowels don't you?... ya, i had a swimsuit drawstring tied in a too-tight knot, and 3 cans of dr.p... i'll let you immagine the rest.

Yeah, I don't like Coke as much as Pepsi.
They have too caffine in it and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
It sometimes makes my head hurt also.
