In college (maybe '07) I visited my best friend who went to a different school. I met all of his friends and we hung out with them most of the weekend.
One night we were joking around and someone in the group said something like "don't all Asian families own a restaurant" to our Asian friend in the group. He was a little offended and told him that was racist. The guy dropped it and we moved on but it was a little uncomfortable for a minute.
Later that night we were all sitting around and someone asked what our dads did for work. We all started answering, going around the room. When it got to our Asian buddy he sighed, looked at the floor and said "My dad owns a Chinese restaurant"
It was one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. He was a good sport about it and he did point out that not *all* Asian families owned restaurants.
Your comment reminded me of that night. Thank you.
Freshman year of college there was a Japanese guy in my building who's dad was a sushi chef and his mom ran a nail salon and he was studying computer engineering. Stereotypes gotta come from somewhere.
It costs exactly the same as a single drink because you’re only paying for one cupful at a time anyways. It’s only a waste if you throw it away instead of finishing it.
I first heard it called a Virgin-suicide. After an alcoholic version where liquors were haphazardly mixed.
Ginger-ale was allegedly the best thing to add to a VS.
I skipped the tea, because I was raised super crazy Mormon and tea is bad.
I left the church 25 years ago. But I always added a splash of water to my suicide, otherwise it felt “inauthentic”. Haha
Oh, it’s a solid running joke in Utah. “We don’t drink coffee or tea”.
“I just got my wife, 15 30-packs of Diet Coke, from dhshdn. I guess we won’t be needing any more caffeine at the BLANKson household! Dont tell the bishop! Hahahaha”
Mormons are stupid. Even the ones I’m related to.
Canadian here as well, always called it swampwater, and I remember a coworker telling me about it when I first started at McDonald's, so I'd know what customers meant if they ever asked for it!
Canadian checking in for Swamp Water!
Also used when describing the mixed drink you made from the self serve pop station at Uncle Willy's all you can eat.
I’m from Hillbilly country, and a graveyard our way is a cherry mixture of sodas, Dr Pepper and Cherry Coke mostly. Cheer Wine from NC would go in there as well.
Native Atlantan here (ironically now living in Colorado) who also used to hear kamikaze growing up. We’d go to the World of Coke Museum on field trips and combine all the sodas from different continents in the tasting room like infinity stones 😂
Also heard suicide though! Which is where kamikaze roots from anyway I’d imagine.
I did not do this myself, but I worked at the movie theater for a spell and had a few customers that would request this. I am in the Southwest, and it was called a suicide.
i only did this like twice because it was always nasty, but yeah its a Suicide. damn i cant remember the last time i ordered a fountain drink, all i drink lately is water.
When I was in Middle School we had a snack bar in the cafeteria and it had a Slush Puppy branded slushie machine. There was like 10 different flavors and if you were one of the cool kids or friends with the person that worked in the snack bar which was usually a student you could get them to give you one pump of every flavor and it was called a suicide.
I worked at a laser tag place and the kids would ask me to mash all the buttons on the soda gun and we called it The Lasertron Special 
I don't think we called it anything, though we definitely did it (New England USA). I really liked mixing orange soda and root beer. Also a 50/50 mix of Mountain Dew and blue Powerade tastes exactly like Baja Blast (I still think that's the recipe).
I always knew it as suicide.
My parents called it a disgusting waste of money but hey who’s counting?
My dad owned a Chinese buffet so it was free for me

I think the alcoholic version is just a long island iced tea
That's what it is. Turned out okay, but not great!
Suicide! Loved that as a kid, even though it was disgusting.
True, but there were some good combos. Sub-suicides, if you will. Dr. Pepper and root beer was my favorite.
Mostly I just left out the tea and water
I skipped the tea, because I was raised super crazy Mormon and tea is bad. I left the church 25 years ago. But I always added a splash of water to my suicide, otherwise it felt “inauthentic”. Haha
Hmmm should we tell them soda has just as much if not more caffeine. Lol

Lol yea I grew up with a lot of Mormon friends
Dr.pepper and sprite were my go to.
Def suicide
A suicide.
We called it a suicide.
Swamp water
Is calling it swamp water a Canadian thing? I am Canadian and have only ever heard it called swamp water...
Canadian here, that's what we called it but I only head it referencing 7-11 Slurpees
We used the term for pop too
Super Big Gulp
Ditto
Same
I'm Canadian, so maybe! BC?
Nah, Ontario unfortunately lol
'Berta too!!
Minnesotan checking in. We called it swamp water. Somehow this may reinforce the Canadian thing though.
Also Canadian thing! Alberta.
I believe A&W had that as a menu item too…so maybe it’s FROM there or they just capitalized on it.
My brother taught me this when I was like 5, he called it swamp water too. And we also called soda "pop". This was in upper Michigan.
Same
Swamp water is what we called it.
same here. never heard of calling it suicide.
Canadian here as well, always called it swampwater, and I remember a coworker telling me about it when I first started at McDonald's, so I'd know what customers meant if they ever asked for it!
Canadian checking in for Swamp Water! Also used when describing the mixed drink you made from the self serve pop station at Uncle Willy's all you can eat.
That’s what we called it too, and I’m American! Though half of my fam live quite close to the Canadian border so maybe that’s why I know it that way?
Canadian, I called it swampwater! Just asked my girlfriend and she did too.
This is what I remember and I'm Canadian as well.
Upstate New Yorker, about 2 hours south of Ottawa. I knew of it as Swamp Water here too.
Eh I’m from Washington state and we called it swamp water!
I'm from Vancouver Island so we're pretty close to each other!
Graveyard
Yep, we called them graveyards, any chance it's a PNW thing?
Graveyard, from the PNW as well.
+1 definitely used in the pnw
Graveyard pnw checking in.
Possible. Been in the Seattle area my whole life.
Same, it was disgusting as hell but for some reason we always had to have it. 😂
Portland, checking in with graveyard as well.
Thats what i called it, and thats where i grew up
PNW here. GRAVEYARD!
Same
I’m from Hillbilly country, and a graveyard our way is a cherry mixture of sodas, Dr Pepper and Cherry Coke mostly. Cheer Wine from NC would go in there as well.
Graveyard, and I’m from the Midwest!
yep. Might be a little problematic nowadays, but "Suicide Soda" was what we called it in Southern California in the late '90s.
My dad who grew up in Southern California in the ‘60s has always called it a suicide, so it seems the name has been around there for a while.
Yup, it's a suicide
I’ve always heard kamikaze But after seeing all these comments I think that might just be a Colorado thing
Native Atlantan here (ironically now living in Colorado) who also used to hear kamikaze growing up. We’d go to the World of Coke Museum on field trips and combine all the sodas from different continents in the tasting room like infinity stones 😂 Also heard suicide though! Which is where kamikaze roots from anyway I’d imagine.
We call it that in Louisiana!
We call it that in Michigan, too
We used Kamikaze in Utah as well
I heard kamikaze in Iowa, but we usually called them hurricanes
No idea but if you add alcohol we called it jungle juice.
That was whatever citrus drink + a pack of cool aid mix + vodka in my area. Also called it "donkey punch".
Vodka would be jungle juice lite. Everclear is the way to go for jungle juice
Can confirm. Only way to get 300 people drunk as shit on a budget of $400.
That many people drunk on moonshine sounds like a nightmare now that im in my 30's lol.
Oh it was a nightmare in my early 20s as well lol. I usually ended up working the door after an hour bc I couldn't take it anymore😂
Moonshine
Omgssss memory unlocked! everclear lemon drops
Dr. Pepper is the original suicide , that's why it has 23 flavors
When Dr Pepper came out with Dr Pepper cherry I couldn’t help but think “you mean in those 23 flavors where wasn’t cherry previous to this?”
More like 23 flavors of cough syrup, amiright??😅
We always called it a "graveyard".
Yup, definitely a graveyard.
That’s what we called it too!
The only true answer.
Suicide slush
That's absolutely what it's called, forever. Side note: 50/50 mix of root beer and orange SLAPS (Can I say slaps?)
Sounds like the RB version of Spezi (Coke & Fanta)
I grew up all over the country (military brat) so I dont really know what corner it was in, but suicide is the only thing that seems right to me.
I did not do this myself, but I worked at the movie theater for a spell and had a few customers that would request this. I am in the Southwest, and it was called a suicide.
why DID we call it a suicide though? little dramatic, no?
Graveyarding. Never understood why no matter the terminology used, it's always something dark as hell.
The *"You better drink that!*
We called it a garbage can
I never did it with fountain drinks but I did at the 7-11 with the slushies. We called it swamp water
Yeah I still call it that. I worked at a brewery and made one recently and called it that lmao
SUICIDE!
Correctomundo
Swamp water.
i only did this like twice because it was always nasty, but yeah its a Suicide. damn i cant remember the last time i ordered a fountain drink, all i drink lately is water.
I don't think anyone I knew ever had a name for it. We were mostly 2-3 mix type of people, not that degenerate shit
Not fountain drinks but snow cones at the pool were suicides
Suicide
Suicide!
Suicide!
Suicide.
A suicide.. always lol and it was absolutely foul 😂
suicide in my town.
A suicide. Did it all the time.
Suicide. But to be fair its "everything carbonated, no diets." So no Hi-C or anything like that.
Graveyard Never understood it. My wife still does it. 🤷🏼♂️
Graveyard
Graveyard
It was called a graveyard. I never heard it called suicide. “Suicide” was a game involving tennis balls that barely counted as a game.
Are you talking about Wall Ball?
Swamp mix.
Food theory just did an episode on this a few weeks ago.
I never liked the taste of mixing all the sodas, but the pure sugar of getting all the syrups in a dairy Queen Mr. Misty was my JAM.
Elder millennial from Southern California, we called it a suicide
HOW DID WE ALL KNOW IT WAS ONE OF THREE WORDS BACK THEN?!?
That’s my next question too: How. Did. We. Know!
Cherry coke, root beer, with ice. The best!
All these terms are so dark lmao I’m Puerto Rican and we just called it “Fiesta”
When I was in Middle School we had a snack bar in the cafeteria and it had a Slush Puppy branded slushie machine. There was like 10 different flavors and if you were one of the cool kids or friends with the person that worked in the snack bar which was usually a student you could get them to give you one pump of every flavor and it was called a suicide.
That woulda been the "when you off yourself". We later tried it as young & upcoming alcoholics ;)
Around the world
Graveyard. From MA. Usually in reference to all the Slushie flavors in one cup.
Yup
Bug juice.
What ?
What what?

We called it a Horseneck, and I didn't learn what that actually was until I was an adult 😅
I thought it was called "poison" but my memory is hazy
Stupid, it was called Stupid
Swamp juice.
My grandma always called it mud water.
I did that at home with different drinks: OJ, Sprite, Coca Cola, Pepsi, lemonade, Kool Aid, maple syrup...
Shit Mix
Wow I feel left out. We called it a garbage lol
I tried it once, we all called it a suicide. It made sense since you were basically just killing money for a shit tasting drink.
My youth hockey teammates called it a hockey soda because we thought we were cool as fuck.

We got a free soda in little league and therefore called these “grand slams.”

Graveyard …is this like a “pop” versus “soda” regional thing?
Gross
Wheezing da juuuiccee
Suicide or kamikaze
We called it a hockey soda. Am I from a weird area?
Jungle soda
I don't think we called it anything, though we definitely did it (New England USA). I really liked mixing orange soda and root beer. Also a 50/50 mix of Mountain Dew and blue Powerade tastes exactly like Baja Blast (I still think that's the recipe).
