    Ha! Probably the biggest contribution to wine from Austraya, is the " Bag", being the guts out of cask wine.. chuckle. Not much of a wine

    That... doesn't sound either flattering or tasty, but _does_ sound entertaining.

    There's a college campus trend now, called "smashing the bag". You take cheap box wine out of the box and squeeze the bag while drinking out of the spigot.

    To each generation their own. My generation proudly made beer bongs out of rubber tubing, funnels and hose clamps - and we thought we were the sassiest froods out there.

    Little did we know that college co-eds have been using gravity-assist inebriation devices as long as places of upper learning have existed.

    ... Use an unacceptable colour.

    you mean slap the bag? which we did in 2005?

    Ha, I told my daughter how it was 40 years ago when I watched the first Ghostbusters movie in the theater the other day, we'd just come out of watching the latest film Ghostbusters Frozen Empire... it was the first and only film she has seen in the franchise and liked it so much she went back to see it a second time, taking us along with her :)

    Hate to tell you this, but it's more like 40+...

    Funny how kiddies think some things are "new".

    My second-hand experience, was watching the people living on the floor below me going beer fishing on American college football game day.

    "Beer fishing" being taking a fishing pole, attaching a plastic cup instead of a hook, filling it up with beer, and encouraging random people walking along the road to drink the beer.

    Once there was even an SUV driver with a sun roof who opened it, and they lowered a beer in.

    I wouldn't say any of it was a good idea (or likely legal), but it was entertaining.

    They've been kicking around since the 60's somewhere... I seem to have recollections from the 70s for people hitting the goon bags.

    Still have a copy of that theme song from the film by Bobby Brown 'On My Own' which (from memory) he also did a short cameo in the movie??
