I feel bored with my drink. So maybe the Smirnoff Raw Tea can satisfy me. The Smirnoff Raw Tea is a new line of malt beverages which blends ice tea with alcohol. Hmmm… sounds delicious…!

The company is pitching a rather humorous advertising campaign associating its new product with “gangsta preppies” that wear their argyle sweaters and hang out at country clubs, but like to “shizzle their nizzles” with something more their style. It retails for US$7.49 per six-pack.
