I always thought Svedka was good. We had a big ole bottle fo Smirnoff from Costco and then i got the Svedka cuz that was on sale.

I tried a shot of each, and the Svedka was WAY better because it didn't corrode my stomach lining. Or at least didnt' taste like it.

All mid shelf vodka is just fine for mixed drinks. I'm partial to Tito's myself, and New Amsterdam isn't terrible either. I wouldn't have any of them in a martini, but gin is better for those anyway.

Well, it's vodka so it's still bad. But until you decide you want to become a real American and drink Old Gran-dad in your basement while caressing the trigger of your gun then it will do.

Guys, the vodka is ahead of its time. It's only the BEST VODKA of 2033 because it'll take us another 20 years to appreciate how good this stuff is!

And the same goes for robot sex. You haven't experienced pleasure until you've felt the squeak squeak of pistons and ABS plastic joints with ball-bearing innards, gazing into two LED light sensors, while listening to a modulated voice whisper, "danger, Will Robinson..."

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

One of the only episodes of The Apprentice I've ever seen was about celebrities trying to sell Trump Ice.

I found it hilarious because it seemed so extremely made up and cheap and phony.

Look at that water bottle label! That's not a professional water bottle label. That's something a high school fundraiser would come up with, where you just make a logo using MS Powerpoint (yeah, powerpoint, not photoshop) and then print it out on white computer printer paper and then just tape it in a circle around a clear plastic bottle.

Its so extremely tacky. Not to mention the loving flames :lol:

So... its a small can of shasta. So they call it "shasta shorts". With a picture of a pair of shorts. How clever. Ha ha.
But then they push the joke further and all the flavors of shasta become some kind of shorts flavors?

I dunno who thought "Red Grape Stain" was an attractive soda title, but... no. God no.
(Do they even make white grape flavored soda? I've never heard of grape soda qualified as "red grape" flavor before)

And look at those font and color choices. :eyepop:

They were, and then they were made commercially available for a while. Then nobody bought them so now they're back to being exclusive to Trump casinos and resorts.

I think they have a blue label now, though.

Why would it do that!?
I encountered some classic internet marketing today.

I searched for a band on youtube.

A paid advert then suggested I listen to the new band's album on youtube, and provided a link.

In a rare moment of actively responding to marketing, I actually clicked the link, and, when it loaded..... "this music video is not available on your country" (because my work server goes through Germany, whose copyright protection is just asking to be Godwined).

Well worth whatever they're paying to advertise. Another successful advert!

Most grape flavored soda is purple grape I believe. Or if it's unlabeled, it's white. White grape juice easily blends with other fruit flavors so you see it in a lot of fruit juices and sodas.

Red grapes are for wine. If you're going to have a Red Grape soda it's more than likely going to be Portello (Port wine soda). I'd have no idea what a White grape soda is meant/would to be.

Grape soda/candy stuff being purple mostly comes from grapes you'd be eat normally ('table' grapes) being different ones from ones used to make wine. Concord and Coronation grapes are the most common purple table grapes and have purple skins. They can still make wine from them if you wanted though.

Yeah after posting I realized there was purple and I :doh: My only excuse is that I was thinking of wine grapes so only white and red came to mind? I dunno. Whatever.

That brand name is still really stupid.

I don't have a picture because I get strange enough looks from people without taking pictures of banks, but Commonwealth Bank has posters up claiming to be respecting the local Aboriginal population. Thing is, Commbank's colour is yellow, and Aboriginal art has lots of circles, so the poster has a picture of a circle with yellow sections. Now what else can be described that way?

Oh. Oops. :downs:
