It has been almost nine months since our last entry at
TBIAW. If rumors are true, that is just
about enough time to grow and hatch a baby. When you put it into that kind of
context, this entry will seem even more deficient than it would have otherwise.
We thought we were out of the blogging business, but we saw
something recently that required us to jump back in, if only temporarily. What was that thing? It was the Bud Light
Lime STRAW-BER-RITA
Margarita with a Twist. It seems almost impossible that it was less than a year
ago that we discovered the
Bud Light Lime LIME-A-RITA
and now they have a strawberry version.
We had seen it once or twice before, but the other day we
were at our local wine and beer emporium and that 24 ounce can was just sitting
there in the cooler between the Bartles
& Jaymes and the Four
Loko asking to be purchased. We bit
the bullet and did so even with the knowledge that it would invite ridicule
from the checkout boy. Which it did.

| Thank goodness they had instructions right on the can. With pictures. |
For the last two weeks that can has been staring us in the
face every time we open the fridge but we resisted the temptation. But seeing as today was Memorial Day, we
could think of no greater to way to honor our fallen servicemen and
servicewomen than to catch a buzz on some All American malt beverage with
natural flavors, artificial sweetener and artificial color. USA USA! (Ed
note: The authors choose to willfully ignore the fact that Budweiser is owned
by the Belgian/Brazilian InBev.)

| The instructions worked! |
Mrs. Bottle made the mistake of eating an actual strawberry
before trying her Bud Light Lime STRAW-BER-RITA Margarita. As a result she thought
it didn’t taste very strawberry-y. I thought it had a reasonable artificially
sweetened artificial strawberry flavor, though. Kind of like a Nehi that will get you plowed eventually. After Mrs. Bottle cleansed her palate with some Tostitos, she agreed. And right now she is dancing in the kitchen singing Journey's "Who's Crying Now?" so the alcohol must work, too.
