A Trip Down Cruiser Lane
Written by The Cruiser Editors
The 2000s called
What. An. Era.
Fall Out Boy and Nelly shared the same airwaves. Songs were burnt onto mix CDs, not curated into playlists. Spotify who? Music festos were in their heyday. GRWMs, fit checks and plans starting in the group chat were still years away. But the photo dump? Oh, we were already onto that.
Digital cameras went everywhere. Clubs. Dinners. Festivals. Wherever the night ended up. The pics were a little blurry, a little grainy and eventually dumped into an album for everyone to be tagged in. And if you look closely, you may even spot a certain colourful bottle that keeps popping up.
And the 2000s weren’t exactly known for being subtle. Everything was brighter, louder and a little bit extra. From frosted eyeshadow and colourful outfits to questionable accessories (owl necklace, anyone? IYKYK), more was more. And honestly? We kinda loved it.
But let’s be real. The 00s were 20-ish years ago. And while some trends are probably better left there, the colourful, unapologetically- extra energy? That can stay.
So, this summer, we’re taking a little inspo from that era. Electric Pink with its fairy floss flavour. Blueberry – no introduction necessary. We know her, we love her., Pom Pom, bringing the pomegranate and raspberry and Carnivale serving up toffee apple. Four colourful flavours coming together in th Vodka Cruiser Originals 10 Pack, while stocks last
That’s four flavours in a mixed 10 pack, ready for snags on the BBQ, hot chips on the back deck, suss house party cheese boards, pres with a side of tacos and whatever else actually makes it out of the group chat.
Call it nostalgia. Call it a throwback. Just make sure you bring it this summer.
