this is relevant to my interests...

[nellishness]

huh. surprisingly, i agree with you on all counts.
except miller chill.

a fourth category--herbs/spices/[fill in your own noun] that pretend to be sexy and so are not:
dill

and
i'd argue that guinness could go here.

[discobobbins]

i like miller chill a lot, but maybe it should go in the "depending on context" category due to its shameless summer flavor... corona and lime what?

yeah, guinness... not sexy. ever. did you know that its made with a derivative of fish bladder? icky...

and i like dill, but only in dip. with pretzels

AND, i thought you like blue moon.
...its still not sexy...

[nellishness]

yes. exactly. corona + lime = sexy. miller chill = wannabe sexy.

as for blue moon, i have a tumultuous relationship with that beverage. on one hand, i love me a good hefeweisen, and that's one you can always count on. on the other hand, they're owned by coors, aka big scary corporation that finances the religious right in colorado. so i don't drink it anymore out of spite.
and finally, "i like it" and "sexy" are two different things. i love wheat beers, but i wholeheartedly decree them to be unsexy.

and dill is so not acceptable in any context. ever.
