MY PINA COLADA GOON BAG IS STILL FROZEN! THIS IS A TRAGEDY! A TRAVESTY! A WAR CRIME!
Just casually browsing here from the Northern hemisphere, I've never been to Australia. Enjoy the warm summer weather, I just had to deal with frozen car windows.
To the point: What the hell is a goon bag and where do I get one? A pina colada goon bag sounds absolutely delicious.
Goon bag = box wine. An inflatable foil sack that makes a handy pillow if you drink the whole thing and retain enough dexterity to blow it up. 😺
Oh I'll have to try that 😂😂
Defo a troll, if you rotate the "b" and "h" in their username it looks like "goonget". So my detective skills tell me that they're actually a local but a couple of boxes in to their party 😁
Detective Indisin is on the case!
A goon bag is box wine, generally speaking, very cheap and easy. So you get a box of wine, and in the box is a bag of the wine itself. A goon bag is that bag of wine. A pina colada goon bag, is the same but instead of wine, it's a premixed pina colada 😂 I buy it from Aldi when they have them, they also have a Mojito one I want to try.
During house parties, the goon bag gets pegged to the washing line (usually a hills hoist), and everyone can get some from there 😂 it's very Aussie to have a goon bag pegged to the hills hoist for house parties, or at least it was when I was a teen in the 2000s.
Damn, you guys have invented a whole new way of drinking out there with the washing line and pegs lol
I haven't noticed boxed premix cocktails here, just wine mostly, would love to start my own business making them, buuuuuuuut I imagine there's a whole crapload of legislation around producing and selling alcoholic drinks that would make this prohibitively expensive to get started.
Not every place has them here, so I get them from Aldi when they have them, because Aldi is awesome for getting munted on a budget lol. Cheap wine, cheap German beer, cheap goon. Bless Aldi.
If you could get around the legislation, I reckon you'd be in for real nice profits!
I know there's a bar near me that has espresso martinis on tap, which is mint af
I suspect munted of being a local word, but context ought supply
"Munted on a budget" has such a nice ring to it, I couldn't pass up the opportunity lol
It does. One of the reasons I like the C word. Plosives are satisfying to pronounce.
It is very much a local word I hadn't heard of before, but context was most certainly enough. My own native language does not have such nice words for getting shitfaced/munted/pissed/wasted/etc, our euphemisms roughly just come down to drinking yourself into a casket (it's said "into a box", but everyone understands it's supposed to mean casket) or just getting blackout drunk so you don't remember shit. Our language has some 14 noun cases, so it just instead of the cumbersome "into a/an/the X" of English, we'd say X-i or X-sse. So if "box" is "kast", we say "kasti" and if a slang term for a memory blackout is "mällar" or "mälus" (literally: in memory), we say "mällarisse" or "mällu" (literally: "into memory")
Your use of x makes me think you are talking about a language that uses clicks?! I have a favourite book with a character with an !X name
Ah no, just a placeholder value lol
It's funny, Aldi is from the same continent as me, but you guys get to have it in Australia, whereas I have to cross two borders to get to a country that does. To be fair, that drive is about the same as Sydney to Melbourne, we have fairly small countries here in the Baltics.
I have more questions now. What even goes in an Espresso Martini? Is it a cocktail or a coffee drink? Where the hell do I get one?
Expansion. A variety of unlabled goon bags pegged on the clothes hoist. By whatever means of choice it is spun and you drink from what stops in front of you. "Wheel of Goon"
I have never seen this in reality.
One house party I went to as a teen did that. We were farked up from here to Sunday good lord
I have partaken.
Regretfully I must admit that so have I. Many many years ago. The empty goon bag can be re-inflated and used for drunken games of cricket with brooms/mops for a bat. If the goonbag hits the hot bbq/campfire and melts, that's an automatic six & out. So then you have to empty the next bag to continue the game ....
Aldi mojito goon is pretty great, they had it just recently. I haven't tried their pina colada but I would be keen, I'll keep an eye out for it!
As someone who grew up in the northern hemisphere, it's weird it being so hot this time of year even after a decade of living here I can't get used to it. So enjoy your frozen windows!
Sit on it. Hottest cooch..... I'll stop now
my hot goon coochie brings all the boys to my yard 😉
Two trailer park girls go round the outside, round the outside 😅
goon
Goon Crimes!
See above?
Put it in the sink full of water with the nozzle facing down. Once the water gets freezing re do it. Repeat if necessary.
Ooooooooo! Thank you! I transferred it from the freezer to the fridge an hour ago but it's not fast enough; this sounds like a much faster method! 💜🍻
Yeah if you put it in the fridge you'll be waiting 3 days. Try to defrost the nozzle first. That's the important part.
This woman goons
Hahaha. Maybe once or twice. It's also how you defrost seafood safely.
Make a punch bowl. Use goon bag to cool punch bowl until it is drunken and goon is thawed. Pour goon out into bowl and drink some more
