This is officially The Best Thing I’ve Read Today. And the Second Best Thing I’ve Read Today is Franzia’s Wikipedia (!) page! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franzia “Franzia wines are quite inexpensive, making it popular among college students in the United States. “
I’m confused. Does wine come in a box? Or is that to emphasize that it’s cheap? Franzia is a really really crappy boxed wine.
Nahida: I’m confused. Does wine come in a box? Or is that to emphasize that it’s cheap? Yes, on both counts.
OMG. Glad to know that as a teetotaler who loves to discuss books, this fella would run screaming away from me. 🙂 I’m totally with EG on this one.
Years ago, the Onion had an “article” entitled: “Alcoholic Beverages that Didn’t Make The Cut.” The list included: -Alcohol Bird -Night (and most of the next day) Train -Port Authority Port and -Violent Shits Peppermint Schnapps. The great tragedy of Boone’s & Franzia is that both are real, but should be on that list. 🙂
That’s a shitload of awesome packed into one simple message. Wow. On a related note, some of us were hanging out in an inflatable pool in a friend’s backyard the other day (when it was quite hot in Philly). If that ain’t white-trashy enough, the girls in the crew were indeed drinking Franzia. That stuff is more like shitty grape juice than wine.
I dunno. I have a dear friend who swears by the stuff. I’d hook her up, but as an English teacher she is ridiculously nitpicky about being able to spell.
Nahida: I’m confused. Does wine come in a box? Or is that to emphasize that it’s cheap? Well, technically it tends to come in a sack inside a box. Though in Australia, the originator of such important booze technology, we would argue that boxed wine is not really wine but ‘goon’.
Franzia is awesome for getting really drunk, really fast, for really cheap. I have to wonder if the originator of the message is all three.
Comrade PhysioProf, Yes, it can. A lot of people are that direct, without even being that charming. And no, I don’t think that message is charming. Just compared to hey babee ure bootiful messages. I got insulted once by a guy whose insult made no grammatical sense. I explained his grammar error, and then blocked him.
Thank you for pointing me to this website. Now I have a place to submit all of the bizarre messages I get on okcupid, like the guy who flat out said he wouldn’t trust me around children because of my psychological disorder, or the guy who has already divorced me in his mind.
Thanks for posting this. The postings on that site were truly funny and the scoring (w/explanations) made me laugh and scream.
Franzia is a really really crappy boxed wine. Bitch please; halfway through the box it tasted fine to me. But yes, thank you for reminding me of this site! I’ve just recently ventured into online dating so having her helpful rating system bookmarked could come in handy. 😀
