The Daily Reel introduces us to "Bodega".
"The first video in a new series about life in the Bronx, “Bodega” is a humorous yet searing commentary about the choices confronting people who live in “the poorest urban county in the country.” Casimir Nozkowski and the creative team of Dallas Penn and Rafi Kam, who most recently collaborated on the video “Ghetto Big Mac”...created the video."
Check it out. It's kind of like The Burg but for the Bronx. And less sitcom-funny. And a bit more depressing. It's also filled with information on things like quarter water and Pork Rinds (no carbs!).

No carbs but quadruple the fat? I use to eat pork rinds as a kid. *shivers*
Where I taught in East New York, the rule was that kids could bring water or juice to school, but no sugary drinks. I spent entire class periods explaining why a quarter water is NOT in fact juice. My favorite was when I said, "If it's juice, tell me which fruit it comes from." And the kid responded, "The blue fruit!"
Yea, not so much depressing as dark.
That Drink he's holding causes retardedness and Asthma in inner city youths. It's part of the White Man's conspiracy to hold the negroes and hispanics in check.
I love quarter water.
This video was absolutely hilarious.
They actually do sell fresh fruit at some bodegas, as well as things like bottled water and even vegetable juice like V8. But it ain't $0.25!
Probably the worst part about sober states like Pennsylvania and Connecticut (I think?) is that they can't sell alcohol in corner stores, meaning the only way for such stores to survive is by renting movies, meaning there are fewer 24 hour locations meaning that many streets are dead in their cities at night, meaning they are more dangerous.
Seriously. Jane Jacobs said it first. Bodegas make streets safer!
Actually, in like 1999 or 2000 there was a chemical banned that was a preservative found in "quarter water" that actually did cause asthma and asthma attacks. I bet if you google "quarter water" and preservative something will come up about that.
CT is nothing like PA. You can get beer in "corner stores" and "liquor" stores in CT. I was shocked the first time I went to PA and found out I had to get a 6 pack at a bar. That is unheard of in CT. Strange. The best part of CT is that they can't sell liquor or beer in stores on Sundays, but they feel perfectly comfortable with you going to a bar and getting hammered while watching football, then driving home. Irony?
I thought quarter water makes you sterile?
i see those quarter juice is still around. man that stuff was good when i was a kid.
No. The juice made by the KKK that makes blacks sterile was a Jamaican juice/soda sold in beef patty places.
Or was it the crown air fresheners?
I believe the "juice" was called Tropical Fantasy. If it was suppose to make blacks sterile, it sure didn't work. The KKK should ask for their money back.
Tropical Fantasy induces diarrhea, guaranteed.
The ingriedent in "quarter water" that caused asthma attacks was Sodium Metabisulfate, and has since been removed from the formula according to the company who manufactures the drink.
Sodium Metabisulfate was banned in fruits and vegetables by the FDA after it's use to preserve ingriedents in salad bars cause attacks in sensitive individuals, but was allowed for some time after that in packaged foods as long as it was listed as an ingriedent. It's use has mostly been discontinued in processed and packaged foods in the USA.
