We have _at long last_ cornered the crucial Clamato market in America. **Individual C:** Now we have them by the short and curlies! I smell a… price increase coming! (Cackles. Steeples hands.) **Individual Eh:** What does Market Research say Americans will pay… through the nose!… for our patented clam juice cocktail mixer? **Individual D:** Americans drink Bloody Marys. They don’t like Clamato. And most Americans don’t even drink Bloody Marys… so, uh… twelve cents per centilitre. **Individual Eh:** Yet. Jack up the price to fifty dollars a bottle to make it look like an affordable luxury. Get candidates Drake and Bieber to write songs about “Clamato in the Club”. Go ahead with the “TikTok Clamato Challenge”, _le gouvernment Chinois_ is on board. Replace the juleps using our Kentucky connection, “The Colonel”. Make the bottles smaller and shaped like that fine wine… Mateus… \*\*Individual B:” But market research says only people from Wisconsin would drink this! And people from Chicago who drink Malört! **Individual C:** Our Artificial Intelligence Unit, POILIEVRE, has created irresistible recipes and will brainwash the Yankee heathen! Here are their recipes…. How are our efforts to corner the Slim Jim and celery salt markets going? Soon, those five bonus armies will be ours! > **[I Spent an Afternoon Making Canadian Caesars.
