wine people, had cisco before?
 

i was reading an rant on cisco wine.

Known as "liquid crack," for its reputation for wreaking more mental havoc than the cheapest tequila. Something in this syrupy hooch seems to have a synapse-blasting effect not unlike low-grade cocaine. The label insists that the ingredients are merely "citrus wine & grape wine with artificial flavor & artificial color," but anyone who has tried it knows better. Tales of Cisco-induced semi-psychotic fits are common. Often, people on a Cisco binge end up curled into a fetal ball, shuddering and muttering paranoid rants. Nudity and violence may well be involved too. Everyone who drinks this feels great at first, and claims, "It's not bad at all, I like it." But, you really do not want to mess around with this one, because they all sing a different tune a few minutes later. And by tune, I mean the psychotic ramblings of a raging naked bum.

HAHA

dude, cisco is NOT wine...it may be classified as that, but it is no where close

we used to drink that shit in high school like kool aid, never had any of the effects you are reading about though

it is comparable to Boones Farm or Mad Dog

I drank Cisco when I was in Highschool, I graduated in 1989.
It's just alcohol, it has no magical powers other than tasting like fucking shit. So unless they changed it, I find that rant to be complete bullshit.

found it via www.bumwines.com

I was always under the impression it was everclear with fruit juice, not wine. But who knows, I was in highschool.

cisco baby...

Me too. But, I will say it is much stronger than Boones Farm or Mad Dog 20/20.

It's like the syrupy concentrated version of Mad Dog.

that is a domain parked page

ah, www.bumwine.com

Ahhh, good ole Mogen David

oh the nostalgia. My first experience with Cisco was watching a bum get kicked out of a doughnut shop for being all Cisco'd up and acting stupid. Use to drink them as kind of a badge of tolerence in high school. They're fucking nasty yes and no Boone's and Maddog don't par up except for the fact that they are all intended for harcore alcoholics and bums. The rant is a little exaggerated but not entirely. A friend of mine did lock himself in my laundry room, passed out and shit his pants after drinking 2 of them. Two even for hardy drinkers will do the trick. You should try a couple of them and post what you think ;) Most I've ever known someone to drink was 4. Any more than that you're asking for a trip to the ER or jail.

Never tried it, don't think you could get it in England in the 80's but THUNDERBIRD... That stuff was dangerous.

I cracked up when I read that line. :)
