			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>MillerCoors LLC has ended the long run of the Zima malt beverage.</p>
<p>Chief Marketing Officer Andy England told the Associated Press that the decision was &#8220;due to weakness in the &#8216;malternative&#8217; segment and declining consumer interest.&#8221;</p>
<p>Zima has ended production as of October 10, but distributors can get their hands on the product&#8217;s remnants until the end of the year.</p>
<p>Distributors are being asked to stock Sparks on store shelves to replace Zima.</p>
<p>Zima means &#8220;winter&#8221; in many eastern European languages. The brand of lightly-carbonated beverage came from Coors in 1993 and remains a symbol of 90s pop culture. </p>
<p>And so much for Babylon 5, which had references to Zima, despite being set in the year 2259.</p>
