Vanilla vodka is good, but rattlesnake vodka is going too far!

From FoxNews.com, this bit of weirdness.

I don’t really have any deep thoughts about this or anything (except I don’t think I’d like a gimlet made with rattlesnake vodka), but things have been a little. . .tense. . .around here lately, and I thought I’d inject some light-hearted idiocy.

I brought a bottle of snake booze back from Asia. I have no intention of tasting it.

There was a thread here just a few days ago about whiskey with a giant centipede in it, and a link to a page offering assorted other whiskeys containing 'pedes, venomous snakes, and scorpions, singly or in combination. Reminds me strongly of the jars that lined the walls of my junior high biology classroom. People are fucking weird.

Well, yeah, but I’m guessing after you’ve downed about a half a bottle of vodka, being weird doesn’t bother you so much any more.

I clicked on the thread thinking that there is some new Vodka that I could ask the boss to get for the store.

Well at least it’s good to know that I didn’t miss a legal trend.

Anyone know if there is a demand for reptile vodka in New York City?

What a strange thing to do. The news story sounds like the arrests were for selling unlicensed, untaxed alcohol though, not because it was reptile-laced.

Habu Sake is big over here. I personally don’t need any poisonous dead animals floating in my drink, thank you very much, but people spend big money on this stuff.

“Vanilla vodka is good, but rattlesnake vodka is going too far!”

Funny, I was thinking just the other way around.

I’d go out on a limb and guessed if you stocked it, then promoted it properly, you’d have people lined up around the block for it! :cool:
After all, Head On is proof-positive that a lot of people will buy anything that’s promoted correctly.
