Foo Foo

[Speedo]

This should probably be obvious to seasoned cruisers but I can't figure out what people are referring to when they say Foo Foo drinks. I have read this in a number of posts but it has me stumped. Can anybody enlighten me? Also where does that expression come from?

[Momto5boys]

The type with an umbrella in it, usually! :) Mostly they are sweetened, frozen, etc. with lots of fruit juices or other exotic ingredients.

[kathy7558]

I think it refers to the drinks with fruit and unbrellas, etc, rather than gin and tonic or rum and coke type drinks. And I thought the expression was Froo froo, which I've used to mean frilly or fancy with bows and ruffles - like on women's clothes. But I've seen it posted here both ways - with and without the "R" in it. Oh well,.................... :)

[phlydude]

Mixed Fruity drinks - should really be Froo-Froo

 

Blue Hawaiian, Pina Colada, Daquiri, etc.

 

Not included - rum and coke, 7 & 7, jack on the rocks. etc.

"Foo foo" = any wimpy drink short of a Hand Grenade.

 

Also how mainstream cruiselines are referred to by Jammers.

The term Foo-foo refers to anything effeminate, "girlie" or overly fancy, such as french poodles.

 

A real drink has at most two ingredients, the sole exception being beer, which has three.

Thank you all for your responses. Sounds like something I should be staying away from. Yikes! Glad I didn't order one to find out what it was.

Who gets to define what a "real drink" is? Drink what tastes good to you or what tastes good where and when you are drinking. Orange juice or coffee with breakfast, milk with cookies, wine with dinner, sherry with dessert, cocktails at a cocktail party, beer at a superbowl party, or a refreshing foo-foo drink while lounging poolside on a cruise ship. To each his own...

Just because it's a "foo-foo" drink, doesn't mean that it's not a real drink!

Wrong, wrong, wrong. No self-respecting functional alcoholic would be caught dead swilling that garbage by the pool.

 

Bloodies/Mimosas with breakfast, no cookies, lots of wine with dinner, port with dessert, cocktails at a cocktail party, beer at a superbowl party, or a bucket of beer while lounging poolside on a cruise ship.:D

[Kernel32mco]

Yeah, my buddies would beat me up for ordering a foo foo drink.

Wine coolers are considered foo foo too.

[Ehpride]

I'll be an outcast too, magnifique :)

[Magnifique1908]

Somehow, I think that this is one of the few cases where being an outcast is a good thing, lol....:D

Gaaack! Someone could see you drink it! the shame. Next you'll be asking for a Strawberry Margarita, and then of course we'd be morally bound to perform either an exorcism or a high colonic! Blecch!
