Iced, Iced, Baby

I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “Icing” someone. In case you haven’t (get a clue), but…. Icing is a clever little game that some super ultra rad bros from some frat made up in which they would surprise attack their frat bros with bottles of Smirnoff Ice. Once bombarded, the brother had to drop to his knee and chug the entire thing. Pretty dro, right?


It’s actually pretty funny. I saw a friend give someone a beautifully wrapped gift. He thought it was a housewarming present, but then BAM! ICED! Hilarious.

But of course, America (and the booze industry) had to go and make it a little more difficult on everyone. The original Smirnoff Ice is 12 oz. It has about 230 calories and about 9 Starbursts worth of sugar. However, now you can buy single big gulps of Smirnoff Ice. 22 oz bottles of Smirnoff have a little over 420 calories in them. That is more than a medium McDonald’s French fry (380 calories). WTF?

#1: I would much rather eat the fries and just take shots. #2: Why must this country supersize EVERYTHING? #3: Please quit Icing people. You are giving them diabetes.
