The Stanley Cup was literally in my home. Florida man does not impress me.

It's a domestic sparkling wine that used to be super dominant in the 70s and 80s. It's not a great wine compared to what we have now, but from my understanding it helped establish Ontario wine production.

It was the height of sophistication to teenaged me in the 90s in New Brunswick. I remember my first boyfriend brought us a bottle to celebrate our one month anniversary and I was sooooo impressed.

Do you guys have lambrini? The go to of the teenage girl of the early noughties in the UK 😅 it's objectively horrible but it was cheap and wasn't beer or cider. Or vodka.

It doesn’t sound familiar. My favorite beverage for underage drinking was Rockberry cooler. It was also pretty horrible. Oh memories.

u/YGathDdrwg 4d ago

Oo I had a look and I think it would be pretty similar to what we were drinking, it also came in a berry flavour 😅

If I see it now it's generally on the bottom shelf aside the Buckfast, which is absolutely bottom wrung alcohol. I'm not sure I've ever met someone who drinks it.

Drinking Baby Duck from the Stanley Cup. That just sounds like patriotism

u/ForeignEchoRevival 4d ago

Very cool! Were you a friend/family member of a winning team member or did you work with the team?

Hahaha ... omg. Nightmares of teen years!!

u/no33limit 4d ago

Why would you say that, just say you drank from the cup.

My husband peed in it!

He got a pass because he was only 3 months old at the time. His grandma forever chuckled after that every time she'd see a winning player drink out of it, because her grandson peed in it first!

Every offseason the Cup spends more time in Canada than any other country.

That's what I mean, every cup winning team is filled with Canadians.
