Apparently Jack Daniel's has no sense of humor at all
WASHINGTON (AP) — The company that makes Jack Daniel’s is howling mad over a squeaking dog toy that parodies the whiskey’s signature bottle. Now, the liquor company is barking at the door of the Supreme Court.
After more than 45 years of drinking JD, I had to bail out when they started supporting trannies and pedos. They were sponsoring some sort of tranny program with kids involved and I decided then not to drink/support JD any more. Fuck Jack Daniels. Ed
As consumers we can choose to add or remove our support from companies by purchasing or avoiding their products. Vote with your wallet, that doesn't use Dominion Software (yet).
I would think a controlled substance, legal or not, wrapped as candy is a whole lot different than a dogger's chew toy wrapped as liquor. But that's just me.
I switched over to Irish whiskey because JD was too sweet, although as a Tennessee Squire from my younger days, I still own one square inch of land down in Lynchburg. Jack Daniel's is now owned by Brown-Forman, or one of those big conglomerates, none of whom are known to possess a sense of humor.
JD are a bunch of idiots. This is free advertising that keeps the JD message in front of consumers. If I were the squeaky toy maker, I’d counter JD’s argument by stating does JD really want the court to believe that doggo will be swigging real bottles of whiskey as a result of 5his toy?
I like how in the article the lawyer for JD says that the dog toy "confuses" their customers. WTF...do the owners of JD think their customers are fricking stupid? Cause that is what they are saying...that their customers will get confused over the difference between a real bottle of jack and a dog toy. Give me a break. To hell with them.
JD is O'K, but I'll take Dickel over it. My favorite use to be Ezra Brooks until they "pussified" by dropping down to 80 proof from 90. And, they got rid of the cork bottle top!
Didn't the original JD company sell out to Brown-Foreman or some other big company? I'll bet the original guys would've have reacted to this with a good laugh knowing all it does is promote their product! Sorta like when Kodak sued Paul Simon over his song "Kodachrome". Stoopid jerks, I'll say! And KY Walker beats the reformulated JD any day of the week and it's 1/2 the price!

Ed, if you like the flavor of Jack, try George Dickel.
DeleteThanks Ken, I will. I do miss my Jack, but needed to draw the line.

ReplyDeleteI won't drink that crap anyway. Since the Krauts bought the company. Now I'm off to buy a chew toy or two.

ReplyDeleteExactly! Free advertisi g!
DeleteI get they have to protect their trademark and all, but... geniuses.
JD is a shitty whiksky!
ReplyDeleteOn par with Jim Beam Green Label...or the JD wannabe, Evan Williams.

ReplyDeleteYour Honor! Please to tell the American people they're too stupid to... uhm... everything!
ReplyDeleteEvidence!? You're right there!
Honestly, there were a couple times I was drinking Jack and was more than a little confused.

ReplyDeleteGo to bourbon and a great price $22-$23 a bottle and $33-$34 for 1.75 l is Wild Turkey 101! tastes the hell of a lot better than Jack Daniels.
ReplyDeleteMan, Wild Turkey is the generic white bread version of bourbon. Still better than JD though.
