(New Orleans’ Own) Big Shot Grape Soda – “Since 1935″
April 10, 2007
I am prevented from really dredging-up one of the most classic racist remarks as I can’t seem to find a good picture of a Big Shot brand grape soda to illustrate.
As far as I know, there is no stereotype associated with pineapple soda…
And certainly one cannot generalize about those connoisseurs of black cherry soda…
So I am left with nothing to say but that Big Shot grape soda is totally disgusting. Of course.
But, then, I’m not really part of the target demographic.
I took one sip, dumped out the rest, and ate my candy instead.
Mmm.

Clearly you haven’t spent much time with Samoans.
Big Shot is pretty harsh even by my occasional-consumption-of-Big-Red standards. You are a brave soul.
It’s true – I haven’t had much experience with Samoans. I once discovered a Samoan grocery where I bought lots of *pineapple pie*, and pineapple cookies and, pineapple juice. But I didn’t know about the soda thing. Thanks!
And I knew one Samoan kid in grade school, young Mr. Tim Suka, who insisted that he and his friends played soccer with a coconut back on the island. That seemed kind of bad-ass to me… but my fellow students just mocked him for it.
Did you find your Big Shot in a shady convenience store, right next to the panties that fold up into a rose and the Reese’s Pieces nail clippers?
Ahaha – !
That sounds about right.
You forgot about the cap guns and dusty back-issues of “Auto Trader” weekly.
aha!
So that’s what a Chick-O’Stick is! I first of it in an anonymous retort to a rap song called ‘Dat Laffy Taffy.’ It makes much use of the Chick-O-Stick as a metaphor for well, something associated with many of the men who are partial to grade soda (see: Chris Rock on ‘purple drink’)
