His name wasn't actually “Mr. Franzia.” It was Thomas Angove.

#5 bieber?

Reason 17: You can buy shitty wine and say, “at least it's not in a box.”

It's also a great way to get a headache

This reminds me of a phrase that is sure to strike terror into the hearts of many of my old college friends….
“BAG O' WINE!!!!”

Here's the thing. When I was in college, we were civilized. We did not drink wine from bags/boxes. Instead:
Livingston Red Rose 1.5 litres with straws. Or Ice House. With Straws. Also:
What does slapping the bag do?

The tour de Franz was one of the craziest nights of my life.

in NZ we call any wine in a bag 'goon'
we also sometimes hang it on a rotary clothesline and spin it then if it lands near you, you have to drink. this charming tradition is known as the 'wheel of goon'

Careful, editor people. Mr. Franzia did not die. Mr. Angove died. Mr. Franzia is in fact a real wine person, though no longer connected with his family's namesake wine. Notably, he IS responsible for an even greater cult wine phenomenon, Two Buck Chuck (Charles Shaw).

God bless the grown up's Caprisun.

Did someone just break into my photo album from college? I'm just glad I'm not IN one of these pictures.

#9 looks like they have a red in the fridge, and a white stacked on top. normally a wine faux pas, but hey, it's boxed wine, it's already breaking all the rules.

what about wine tag?? the game where the bag of franzia is thrown around and if the bag hits you, you drink. sorta like dodge ball, only better.

I drink a lot of Franzia… It's definitely a conversation starter, easy to carry around w/o worrying that people will steal it, and great to share (w/ the ladies) when the keg runs out.
