kamikaze

A fountain drink composed of multiple random shots of soda from a self-service soda fountain. Due to the inherently chaotic nature of the drink's creation, no two kamikaze drinks are ever the same. Also called a suicide, since you take your life in your own hands when you make this drink.

Etymology: Named after the Japanese suicide pilots of WWII.

I'm going to the 7-11 to get a kamikaze. Want to be my designated driver?
