Speaking Of WTF?!...

A little background on the monstrosity you are gaping at. It is Hispanic appreciation month (Or is it 'approval' or 'upheaval'? Who knows.), so someone decided that throwing an office party would be the proper thing to do. So some white people went to the side of town that one does not normally go to, in order to pick up some appropriate foodstuffs and beverages that 'Hispanics' might be comfortable eating (comer) and drinking (tomar) in the presence of fawning, appreciative white people...or at least the ones that survived the trip to that 'other' side of town. 

 

This simply can NOT taste good. Where do I start? Well, do they really have to put 'artificially flavored'? I didn't see 'made in France' anywhere on the label, so I'm pretty certain it isn't real champagne. Also, can there even be a 'cola champagne'? The fact that it really does look like piss doesn't help (the bottle is still sealed, so I'm fairly sure it isn't piss). And why 'lo nuestro' (ours) on the bottle? I know it's ours, we bought it. This could end up being one of those experiments where you leave something laying around for a few years and see if it ages. Maybe, like real champagne, if we let it age a few generations it will turn out tasting great. I do not plan on testing - or tasting - my thesis. Oh, and this supposedly Hispanic beverage? Made in Laurel, Maryland. Pancho Villa is rolling over in his grave.
