#SpoCOOL: Scotch Click it!
By Remi | Oct 27, 2008 | 5 ResponsesMake that sixty.
First, carob chips. Awful. Anybody who claims those are a valid alternative to chocolate really must have seriously weakened taste buds.
As for the $120+ Scotch… The bottle apparently cost $180 or something insane like that and was from… 1978? Of course, when a libation has been stored for about 30 years, it’ll affect the flavor, which means there’s only one way to drink it.
- 2 part Scotch (30 years or older)
- 3 parts Diet Coke Lime (or alternatively any other soda that includes aspartame. Something to masque the flavor of the whisky.)
- A splash of soda, and garnish with a cherry

Oct 29 2008 5:27 pmYou…mixed…..scotch…..with…..pop?
I don’t know whether to teach you how to drink, stop reading you, or have the taste police pull you over and have their way with you. Madre dios, you admitted this on the internet. You know this will be read by several people..
You’ve had 63, if you’ve had coffee mate or a mcdonalds shake, and if you really mixed pop with scotch, you should give up there, you’ve committed a crime against all that is truly honest and true.

Oct 30 2008 8:18 amSo you would recommend mixing Kool Aid with the Scotch instead of soda?

Hello, Taste Police?
Spokane has finally captured Remi!!!
Next, he’ll be discussing his favorite brand of fish sticks with a constant of Kraft mac and cheese….
Stop him, before he sins again!

Oct 31 2008 7:53 amMac & cheese — I definitely go with the generics over Kraft. (Although Kraft is equally fantastic.) Then I drink armagnac mixed with milk with it.
