glennyboy02 Jul 31, 2002	Pretty good, but I think it may have been better if you had added another clue which narrowed it down to one possible answer.
Mogmatt16 Nov 18, 2003	very dry, very, VERY, dry. Not much of a teaser.
perplexing Apr 26, 2004	Boring. Somewhat difficult, but boring....
rashad Aug 25, 2004	Nice teaser Jake! I liked it.
PATCHES92998 Jan 22, 2005	I think you should of added the word ORANGE to the answer it is color and Beverage
Atropus Jan 31, 2005	nope.. Orange is a fruit ... orange JUICE is a beverage. Then again, I got confused at rose (isn't that a flower?) but then I realised it was supposed to be rosé. It might have been more interesting if a certain number of answers were asked for, so that we know when to give up listing them ^_^
darthforman Apr 20, 2005	Okay, ORANGE could be considered a drink because there is orange soda. However, aren't most of these colors named after the drinks? So, it really is a pointless teaser.
triskit Jun 09, 2005	Wine?
triskit Jun 09, 2005	Wine?
vikingboy Jul 21, 2005	go to a paint store these days, and you'll see colors named after anything...I'm sure every type of wine, including wine, has a color. I'm sure you can find a paint called Root Beer, or cola.
sugarnspice4u7 Jan 04, 2006	very fun!
MAroxmysoxonice Jan 20, 2006	nice job!!!
SPUTNIK2 Feb 01, 2006	good job
TalkingOptimist Feb 08, 2006	What about Lemonade? It's right here in my box of Crayola 96!
paul726 Feb 21, 2006	Is chocolate really a beverage?
blackmarket69 Feb 22, 2006	TOASTER
blackmarket69 Feb 22, 2006	TOASTER!!!!
blackmarket69 Feb 22, 2006	TOASTER! ! ! !
bigSWAFF_69_ Mar 17, 2006	"Is chocolate really a beverage?" Don't quote me on this..... Hundreds of years ago, way before chocolate bars where created, the substance of chocolate was in liquid form, and drank by the wealthy. I'm guessing it would have tasted like melting a Hershey's and drinking it Doesn't seem very appealing.
redraptor50 Mar 18, 2006	Well, I thought it was a good one, keep them coming, but with a little more hint please? Wonderful!
bowwows1 Mar 25, 2006	what about pink lemonade? my little sister has a crayon that says that...and wine and chartreuse are drinks? please let me know where you have seen these drinks at...
bowwows1 Mar 25, 2006	i meant to say is wine a color, and is chartreuse a drink?
mitzimesser Mar 30, 2006	Paul, have you ever heard of hot chocolate? Very nice teaser, I liked it.
mmmcla01 Apr 12, 2006	Went straight to the answer....never would have gotten it....wine is a color?
trickskate May 18, 2006	what about orange...as in juice
scr26 Jun 24, 2006	ya thats what i think! orange is both a juice and a soda and a color! who corrected this?!
kangel067 Jun 30, 2006	a bit too difficult,you should have given a another clue. and is wine a colour?????????????????
GebbieRose Sep 03, 2006	Yes, wine is a color. I thought this one was good - a little challenging, but that's good, too.
blondebookworm Sep 08, 2006	I didn't know rose was a drink, but besides that, great job.
2rubystar2 Oct 13, 2006	not a good teaser.
bladd Oct 15, 2006	I agree
teasermaster Dec 21, 2006	I never knew there was a color wine
coryphaeus Jan 10, 2007	too vague. Maybe a fun way to clarify it would be to say that the color gets its name from the beverage? Certainly, that eliminates orange (orange the color is based on orange the fruit) With that, I think you have an accurate list. Certainly Champagne, Burgundy, etc are named after something else (regions of France) but the colors come from the beverages themselves. one protest: is cream a beverage? don't think i'd imbibe straight cream, but to each his own, i guess.
coryphaeus Jan 10, 2007	that being said, you'd have to drop chocolate, since it's not definitively a beverage. If you take chocolate, you have to take orange, grape, etc... Also, I'd drop Rose, especially since Rose the beverage gets its name because of its color, and not the other way around. This is of course based on my suggestion for clarifying the rules, but I feel there need to be more guidelines or else this is just open to conjecture...
bgil7604 Feb 28, 2007	I feel like most of the answers are not colors, and also most of the answers aren't beverages. Or at least, no some that I've heard.
musa_karolia Apr 11, 2007	quite good, but as everyone else has stated it could be clearer. Keep trying. thank you.
reptile5000 Jun 29, 2007	You all realize this is the owner of Braingle, rite? lol
random_clam35 Dec 10, 2007	it wuz hrd becuz i didnt really look deeper and realize how many colors n drinks tht r the same. it was alrite and i agree u shouldve added ORANGE JUICE as one of them.... so ok....
bradon182001 Feb 24, 2008	I didn't really understand what the teaser was, but it did make me have to really think. That's one of the objects of Braingle. Thanks for posting.
mmark32s May 22, 2008	white wine?
srpwuzhere Nov 23, 2008	champage and wine? ok...
person1 Jul 01, 2009	hahaha i didnt want to bother...no offence to u i mean that i rlly suck at these and that i just knew i qwoodnt get nythin so yeah goodjob dude..{or dudette{ but i call every1 dudes
mom2boys Aug 11, 2012	What about merlot? Cognac? Cafe au lait? (not the same as coffee) All commonly used as colors. Not much of a teaser when the answer is a random sample of what came to the author's mind.
