The first version of Mystic was carbonated. I started copping 'em my senior year in '90. The store about two blocks away from the Hardee's I worked at was the first place I saw 'em at and the only place I could get 'em until the end of that summer.
One time I walked up in the spot to cop a bottle after getting off work and I cracked it open before leaving. I walk out tipping it back and Ferndale cops walked past me going in the store, stopped me like "Hey... Is that a cooler? Are you even 21? Lemme see some ID". I turned around and had to explain it to 'em that it was carbonated juice, showed 'em the bottle and everything. At the time wine coolers came in very similar bottles so it was understandable. Cop was like he was ready to have me pout it out on the curb and cite the store for selling to a minor.
