When Prohibition ended, Ernest Gallo and his brothers Julio and Joe wanted to corner the young wine market. Earnest wanted the company to become "the Campbell Soup company of the wine industry" so he started selling Thunderbird in the ghettos around the country. Their radio adds featured a song that sang, "What's the word? / Thunderbird / How's it sold? / Good and cold / What's the jive? / Bird's alive / What's the price? / Thirty twice."
lol you guys. OK, please let me make a suggestions, none of which are great. So-1, Soju. A readily avaialble Korean booze( quite sugary), In Korea it's a buck. In the US? Maybe ask a Korean-American for a bottle. Anyhoo, LOVE your show!! You guys are the truth!
When I was fifteen I had half bottle of Thunderbird. Fell down and passed out and woke up in the emergency room of Fordham Hospital in the Bronx with ten stitches and temporary amnesia. Nasty stuff indeed.
I just bought a 23 bottle that is dated 1987 yesterday. Found it here on the island of Saipan. I remember the disco commercial from the 70s for this shit. Bought it as a joke. Now, after seeing this, I know I won't drink it. I will give it to someone who pisses me off.
I once drank a 750ml. of Thunderbird with a 40 0z. of Schlitz Bull Ice malt, I got really drunk, passed out; the next day, I've found out I'd pissed on myself during my drunken slumber!

Thunderbird you do not drink the swill to get drunk, but if you are already drunk and want to stay that way. A Bum Wine only for die hard bums.

If you give this shit to a date, she will be up for anything, will probably eat the hair off our nuts.

I think you better stick the finger down the throat, then cook some sausages or something.
