And found out he had a look of disgust when asked did he have any Ripple because it was known as a cheap drink for that was mainly drunken by Bums on the street and Alcoholics

LOL


I never took the time out to find out what Ripple was really all about until I saw Rollo's look of Disgust.

:rofl:

So, Fred Sanford was a wino! That explains a lot! :lol:

I could have told you that. It was a ghetto wine that was sold in the 'hood. That's why many whites on the show didn't know what ripple was.

We have our own ghetto drinks here, like Wild Irish Rose, and Rikoloff (My dad's favorite drink,lol) that doesn't market in the burbs.

A cheap brand of liquor that in the inner-city markets. It suppose to be strong, though I have never tried it. It usually caters to older folks.

Oh ok, it's still sold. Those girls wouldn't have been my type anyway. I would have told Rollo, no way-lol

Thanks for the info...but I don't think I'll be indulging. :lol:

Wild Irish Rose, Ripple, Thunderbird, and Night Train, all cheap wine. Boone's farm is champagne compaired to those.

I forgot about Wild Irish Rose-lol I used to sip that a little when my step dad had it. Didn't taste too bad

You should go out and get you a bottle, Solomon. :lol: Growing up in the projects, our next door neighbor use to drink it religiously.

I really loved Rollo's pronunciation of Beaujolais! Ghetto chick: "What IS this?" Rollo: " Booze-Yo-Lay!":lol:

LOL - about the closest I ever got to "Ghetto Wine" was some crap called "Ruby Rouge" - a "red wine" that tasted like red wine vinegar, but because it sold for $1.50 a bottle, it was a good, cheap buzz for a Saturday night for teenagers! lol

I swear the taste lingered for days in your mouth afterwards too. I think if I ever were that desperate for a buzz again, I'd go with Aqua Velva. ;)

Back in the late 60's I took a couple of swigs of Ripple. I never did buy it, but it was offered to me. It tasted like a bubbly Sangria or Port, as I recall. It tasted ok, I suppose. Not being a wine elitist, I've never really cared whether I was drinking the "correct" wine. I drink it if I like it.

Yeah, how about Cold Duck. I bought some just because i remembered hearing it on the show. It was terrible.

I beg to differ, cold duck is good. I think I am going to have to get some of that in the near future.

I saw another reference to Ripple on a 70s sitcom that surprised me a bit the other night

"The Jeffersons"

We make the Fred Sanford’s very own hangover drink called “A Bloody Mess”.

It’s not tasty, but you might surprised to hear what it is!
