Yeah, think I'll pass. If I want something sweet, I'll have a candy bar. And I had no idea it was priced like that. $5-$7 a shot!?!?! For glorified cough syrup? Makes me think of the old saying about a fool and his money parting ways.

A popular bar in Houston had fireball Friday. I thought it would be a cheap special. The shots are $5 for ther frap

It used to be when you would go ice fishing or ice skating or tailgating in late fall or any other outdoor cold weather activity up north here you would drink schnapps or blackberry brandy. Then when Jagermeister came around people started drinking that. Fireball is just an extension of that pastime. If you keep in mind that cinnamon or peppermint schnapps (30 proof, sweet shots) were popular then it is no surprise that something like Fireball is also popular. Also, when you are doing those outdoor winter activities you want to take a shot of something that will warm you up a bit, not knock you out like a high proof whiskey, that is why the lower proof is better for those activities, so you don't end up freezing to death, passed out in a snowbank.

So once you start drinking that stuff in the wintertime it is only natural you will come to like it and end up throwing a bottle of it in the cooler for when you go out boating or fishing, or to just pass around while your having a few beers with the guys.

Hence the popularity of Fireball up north here.

I got to hand it to Michigan for Jim Beam. A moderately priced good whiskey.

A bourbon priced well below its value.

Crown special reserve VS evan williams, evan williams every time.

For cheap bourbon, it's better than anything up to 20$ and quite a few above tha


yea I use it as my standard "well" bourbon, it makes a great mixed drink and is still good enough to stand on it's own.
