Kookslams - DONE

[Mr Doof]

Isn't Hard Seltzer out there for kooks to slam in the first place?

When I was growing up, hard seltzer was a 50/50 mix of 7-up and tequila in a shot glass slammed on a skateboard then down the hatch with 10 other 16 yr olds in a forest by the TV towers.

So yes, it was for kooks.

Conversation in Kook Slam "corporate office": Employee 1: "Wow. This Instagram page of people getting hurt in the ocean is going great." Employee 2: "To capitalize on this success, what we really need is to break into the hard seltzer market (while drinking a Zima)."

Once had a Zima with a rich girl in her home near the Sutro Tower.

Great view of SF.

As someone who grew up in the hood drinking St. Ides,

ahhhhh.......the 90s!
st. ides (the fruity ones) and Pucker...those were the panty droppers back when

Not all hard seltzer’s are created equal.

Belching Beaver and Ficks make some pretty good ones that don’t taste like cancer.

brewery x puts out some 10% seltzer stuff. ill drinkit when some rep or someone from thebar scores a stash

The money is in the merchandise

When my wife and I were in Australia I got quite fond of these.
They even had a 12% ABV that kicked my butt.
Wish we could get Bundy here in the states.

kookslams mortgages could be interesting.

kookslams life insurance?
kookslams supplemental health insurance (instead of aflac that duck can yell 'kookslams')..
kookslams wheelshairs?
kookslams knee braces?

The options are endless. One thing about the seltzers is in the hands of the right crowd they increase the likelihood of a post worthy slam.

which reminds me...

kookslams hard seltzer beer bongs

Tahiti Drink, the Punch of our islands par excellence!
Tahiti Drink is the alliance of our delicious Pineapple Queen Tahitian juice accompanied by a touch of fruit of Passion Juice, a zest of Orange, the delicacy of the Vanilla and the finesse of our alcohol distilled at the factory of juice of Fruits de Moorea.

So I finished my conflict book and I said to my sister who helped me write it, "Books don't make any money. We need an energy drink. We'll put Ritalin, Fentanyl, and pysillum husk in ours."

Psyllium husk to counteract the constipation caused by the Fentanyl. Smart.

One of the drawback of being a clown is people tend to underestimate you, but I am ALWAYS thinking, man.

I mean, didn't Mick and Joel get rich af selling surf beer?

 

[Mr Doof]

Seriously. They are selling their own branded HARD SELTZER!
Not sure what I'd do in their situation, but it seems pretty yucky to me.

Bottom line: The hard seltzer boom is over.

Shares of Boston Beer crashed 20% in pre-market trading on Friday as the maker of Truly hard seltzer and Sam Adams badly whiffed on its earnings expectations and slashed full-year guidance. The culprit: Execs overestimated the potential of the hard seltzer market, which continues to slow amid rising competition and people returning to bars coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic as Yahoo Finance has reported.

"We overestimated the growth of the hard seltzer category in the second quarter and the demand for Truly, which negatively impacted our volume and earnings for the quarter and our estimates for the remainder of the year," Boston Beer founder Jim Koch told analysts on a conference call. "We increased our production of Truly to meet our summer peak and have had lower than anticipated demand for certain Truly brand styles, which has resulted in higher than planned inventory levels at our breweries and increased supply chain costs and complexity."

ahhhhh.......the 90s!
st. ides (the fruity ones) and Pucker...those were the panty droppers back when

Southern Comfort, in the 60's
Puking from the overhead tram or the Mad Hatter's Tea Cup ride at Disneyland
guaranteed a grope or two
Or more puke on the way back to the South Bay ~
panty drops were a desired .... option

Closed at 701.00 today.
And to think I purchased 33 shares at IPO price in my 20s, and probably sold it well before it even got near $50, I wouldn't mind too much if I still had it today and it plummeted 25%.
