Damning with faint prase

also from BeverageNet Reviews of the Bong Water company's product line: bq. Bong Water Original Chronic is a unique tasting beverage that features whole beer concentrate (no alcohol). We really can't say that we found this beverage to be refreshing -- the flavor is too concocted. Furthermore, we really do not understand the druggie theme. However, we will give them some points for originality -- the beer concentrate is nice as it supposedly has health benefits. bq. Bong Water Cottonmouth Quencher is a unique product with a bitter citrus flavor. We didn't find it to be refreshing -- the flavor is not well defined and just too odd and bitter to be something that we would consume on a regular basis. bq. Bong Water Green Dreams has an odd flavor that we did not enjoy -- it just tastes like a horrible concoction. Even more of a disappointment is the drug theme. Unless we are missing something, this product markets itself with several drug-like themes...a bit tired, in our opinion. bq. Purple Haze is yet another soda from Bong Water - it has a sweet flavor with a slightly bitter finish. It's hard to tell exactly what type of flavor they are going for as it tastes just plain odd. Overall, we did not like the flavor. Not something that we would drink on a regular basis. Memo to R&D - put down the pipe and start doing some marketing surveys...
