  • SHAKE 'EM UP with this cheesy flavored fortified wine spot that looks as cheaply produced as the drink they're selling (the "discofied" jingle is pretty catchy, though).

    My ex father-in law would mix Thunderbird or MD 20/20 and 7-UP in a cup and call it "jazzing it up" while we would walk around the corner to Lucy's Chicken at the corner store in Southeast Fort Worth for a take out box.
