Does La. still have those drive-thru daiquiri shops down there? I used to live in Lafayette in 96 and 97 and they had a few of them there. The loophole with those was they put a piece of tape over the straw so it was a closed container :p What a state. I've never been to a state that promoted drinking more than La. I used to go to "The Strip" in Lafayette. And on Wed. nights some of the bars had $5 admissions with coin pitchers of your choice all night. Man I miss that place. :D

Yep... drive-thru daiquiri shops all over the place and liquor stores on every 2nd corner. Man... to have a beer or liquor distributorship in a Louisiana town would make you financially stable for life!
Ha-Ha-Ha

I still can't believe that concept is legal ANYWHERE in the U.S. with all the DWI accidents/deaths all over the place nowadays. I mean, drive-thru liquor stores are bad enough... but at least they're required to bag it up for you in a hope that you're not just about to crack it open in the car. But daiquiris?? Like anyone's getting that just to wait until later. :p

Nope, it got turned into the Crawfish Barn, then the Crawfish Hut, then got bulldozed.

There used to be one in Magee, too. Right next to the Ford dealership.

Wow, I can't believe they still have them either.
Though I will say a frozen daiquiri is the perfect drink especially during these hot summer months! Man has it been hot lately..I'm ready for fall

My sister and her family live in Hattiesburg, so I go down that way fairly often. I know the building's still there, but I'm not sure if they're still open for business. We stopped there many a time on the way to/from the coast in high school. They were well known for not checking ID.
