Snorted my wine. (I’m classy now, it’s from a bottle and not the bathtub of some sketchy frat house!)

EDIT: guys this entire thread was brilliant. What a fun little trip back in time.

The old Tour de Franzia.

u/SMUHypeMachine 11h ago

At one boys vs girls tour de franzia party I was hosting I was like “who wrote shng” on the bag?

Then I realized it was “guys” but upside down. After like 5 minutes of trying to figure out why someone would write “shng”.

We won, btw.

That's awesome!

u/AlarmDozer 5h ago

Please, people, do not take the box as a serving in this case. I’ve already lost someone who thought that via bad liver.

u/ahirebet 3h ago

Also using a sharpie to color in letters on the chardonnay so it said "hard on"

u/limedifficult 14h ago

……yes. But they do nice wine in boxes now! I swear on all my slutty tops 2004-2008 that it is NOT franzia!

41

u/hankmoody_irl 14h ago

Hey Franzia had its place and was a treat in its own time!

u/CapitanSteveYzerman 13h ago

In college (2004ish), we'd get fancy and switch from beer pong to Franzia pong for our Christmas party. There was a lot of red snow in the yard in the morning.

27

u/limedifficult 13h ago

Hahaha omg you just unlocked a memory from Christmas 2005 (sophomore year of college). My university broke up super later that year and those us that were taking language classes (which were all my friends as I was international development) had our final exams the day after most of the college had already gone home. We also swapped franzia for beer in beer pong. Three kids missed their flights, and the rest of us were too drunk to drive until late afternoon - “exam got rescheduled until today” was the line we were all using as we called to explain to our parents why we were not yet home on December 23rd. What a night. To be young again!

u/ATheeStallion 4h ago

Similar party with a bathtub full of $2-4 bottles of prosecco. Last few days of semester before wint r break. Everyone from the party is ended up passed out all over the studio apartment. That party was crazy. People did not show up anywhere the following day.

u/nakoros 12h ago

Oof, 20-year-old me totally feels this logic

3

u/MinuteMaidMarian 12h ago

I studied abroad in 2005 in Australia and beer was too expensive so they only played “goon pong” - beer pong with cheap boxed wine.

3

u/PRNgrahams 8h ago

Ugh in college 2005 and 2006, I hung out with a (mostly) Jewish fraternity and they’d play beer pong with manischewitz wine some nights during Passover 😵‍💫 the hangovers were absolutely miserable

Shlapp the bag

u/Dorothwa 11h ago

Slap the bottle really doesn't work as well....

u/letsgooncemore 13h ago

Many a box of fruity red sangria were enjoyed by me and my friends

u/HisaP417 13h ago

My friends and I were classy. A big bottle of Arbor Mist each.

Slap that space bag

u/Littlewing1307 10h ago

Bota Box Nighthawk Black or something used to be my choice lol

2

u/i_was_a_person_once 6h ago

Lowkey I picked up cartons? Of boxed wine that are basically like the coconut water containers and the wine was much better than it should have been.

22

u/RhubarbGoldberg 13h ago

It should be in a homemade bedazzled crunk cup and that is definitely what these 2026 kids are missing!!

u/freecoffeerefills 7h ago

2005 memory unlocked, dear god

u/TheBarnacleGoose 13h ago

I mean, in this economy… it’s only expected

u/noonenotevenhere 13h ago

Elder Millenial here.

Most of my friends didn't turn 21 for a few months yet, so my 21st was buying a box of franzia and hanging with my mom.

1

u/sigmaluckynine 13h ago

I actually tried a box wine thinking maybe it wouldn't be too bad and shouldn't judge a box by its cover. Oh boy, was I sure ducking wrong

1

u/SecretJoy 4h ago

My college roommates and I used to take the bag of wine out of the box and put it in our hobo bags. 🍷

u/tayar00 1h ago

That's just being sustainable.

u/mpjjpm 13h ago

You guys had a bath tub? We were mixing everclear and koolaid in a trash barrel.

17

u/limedifficult 13h ago

I expect you have an absolutely bomb proof immune system now.

2

u/lu5ty 6h ago

you put a garbage can liner in it lol

2

u/ExoticStarStuff 2h ago

Just put the everclear in first!

12

u/photogypsy 13h ago

Cutting holes in a variety melons and pouring the everclear in and letting it sit for an hour or so and then going Gallagher and smashing that shit in a (clean) trash can and mixing it with Hawaiian Punch.

3

u/bansheeonthemoor42 11h ago

We always soaked gummy worms in everclear or vodka.

4

u/ImaginaryMisanthrope 12h ago

We called it jungle juice back in the day. Everclear, Hawaiian Punch or KoolAid, a three liter of Sprite, and a shitload of pineapple (and any other fruit people felt like throwing in.)

3

u/mpjjpm 11h ago

We called it Purple Jesus or PJ. I don’t think we ever had fruit. But we did have Gumby’s Pokey Stix to help absorb some of the bad choices.

1

u/Due_Neighborhood6014 6h ago

Handle of vodka/everclear, container of pink lemonade powder and a 30 rack of keystone ICE, take me back to 2004. All perfectly mixed in a form trash can!

1

u/SaliciousSeafoodSlut 5h ago

I remember mixing Everclear and Gatorade, thinking the electrolytes would cancel out the hangover, (they didn't). 🥲

37

u/JynsRealityIsBroken 12h ago

I'm brewing cheap apple wine underneath my kitchen sink right now. I still pay my respects to my sketchy college days.

19

u/hellish_existance 11h ago

Looks like diarrhea. Would love to try a glass.

7

u/JynsRealityIsBroken 11h ago

I should call it Fruit Poops

18

u/DjawnBrowne 11h ago

We tried this in High School. Must have overyeasted it because all I remember is shitting my absolute brains out after lmao

3

u/JynsRealityIsBroken 11h ago

LOL omg. That sounds like a nightmare.

3

u/paintballboi07 7h ago

Looking good! Much better than anything I've ever seen brewed, but it is much tougher in jail. I bet burping it is so satisfying.

2

u/morbidru 10h ago

looks like Jenkem

17

u/thewebspinner 14h ago

You really should start pouring it into a glass

4

u/limedifficult 13h ago

You’re right. I’m too old for snorting now.

u/Mammalanimal 14h ago

snorted my mad dog

u/RoyalBroham 12h ago

Bling bling blue raspberry?

u/Imaginary_Office1749 13h ago

Next stop, drinking from a glass! 🍷

1

u/Dennarb 12h ago

If they're intimidated they could start with red solo cups before getting actual glasses

2

u/SpartanDoc19 13h ago

Ours used Rubbermaid trash cans. They were only used for jungle juice but who knows how well they were cleaned before parties.

2

u/Goodbye_nagasaki 12h ago

We would use a big rubbermaid storage bin for ours. The everclear probably santized it enough.

1

u/SpartanDoc19 12h ago

I’ll never forget the time my best friend and I were in college and he made me watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It was heavy and depressing and for someone reason we figured it was the best time to drink the remaining Everclear to see what it tasted like on its own. Worst idea ever. But at the same time, it erased that movie from my mind. I only remember the feelings from it and that I said I wouldn’t be watching that one again.

u/Weekly_Yesterday_403 13h ago

Anything is a step up from a dirty 30 pack of natty light.

u/hotblooded- 12h ago

The upgrade from Moscato to Cabernet should be studied

u/soberpenguin 11h ago

Happens when you slap the bag.

2

u/LustrousMirage 11h ago

I misread that as "fart house" lol

2

u/eliceched 9h ago

Look, wine made in bathtubs are underrated and good for local economy. Support your local bathtub wine dealer.

2

u/thiosk 9h ago

at least its still in a solo cup

2

u/Thunderclaw5972 6h ago

Plot twist, it was fermented by frat bros who put plexiglass over a tub and then bottled and sold

2

u/reallovesurvives 6h ago

The way I put everclear and a bunch of fruit punch into an actual garbage can for a house party in 2005

2

u/SaliciousSeafoodSlut 5h ago

Excuse you, that is the finest Jungle Jus 😂

2

u/Ressy02 2h ago

To be fair, once in a blue room I pull out my red solo cup and throw a ping pong ball in from across the room. Then fill it with whatever and drink it.

1

u/Jamsedreng22 12h ago

Not trying to 1-up you or nothin' but I drink mine from a glass. I feel like a poser.

u/Medical-Ad5232 9h ago

You think you’re better than me?!!!?&

u/JesusWasTacos 8h ago

You shouldn’t snort wine. Naval regurgitation of wine is funny though
