Are you really gonna give up Vodka?

[Miss Kitty]

I think it is stupid based entirely on the fact that they are selling Vodka. I just don't think Mexico is a great market for Vodka. It would be like selling tofu in Texas and showing an old map of Texas

...now, imagine our Government erecting a "fence" all along that border! Crazy I tell ya', just plain crazy!

Wow! I wasn't aware of the movement in CA. Absolut is taking a Hollywood approach to up their sales and jumped on a bandwagon that chose a side. That could backfire if it does like it did to SWGB.
If you ordered a drink that needed vodka and were asked to choose a brand, would you choose Absolut. I probably wouldn't as I think the whole movement is stupid. If you don't want to be an American, please just go live in whatever country you want to be.
The Tequila people maybe would have had more luck with this type of ad as it is known to be a Mexican drink in the first place.

That map isn't very realistic.

Today's map should also include more Green in Central and South Florida....as well as the "other" areas shown..

"Absolut?s ad is nothing more than arrogant Eurpeans trying to export to Mexico what they believe to be ?European sensibilities?. Hogwash. Appease Mexico at the cost of the US? I believe this boycott will have legs. Drink Stoli?"

Yea....that makes more sense....support Russia and Putin!

Drink Boru.....at least it is made in Ireland;-)

It would be cool if I could order Tito's online...got to go to P'Cola to get it. Sounds grayt....I want to try it. I have been an Absolute fan, until today. Kettle One, until I check out Tito's Vodka from Texas.

Seriously.....try Boru

You can get it at Chan's. I've tried them all (most at least) and it is hard to beat. ONLY $18.00 for a 1.75ml

The guys at Chan's also prefer it....

At least with Stoli, we did a trade deal by which the then Soviet Union could import Stoli and Pepsi could export its soft drinks to the Soviets but then again, I just discovered that Stoli is imported to the US by Pernod who just bought Absolut. Small world. I am not a vodka drinker since vodka is one of only two liquors which can kill you but if I were, I would partake of the Texas stuff...

Emerald Coast Wine and Spirits (next to Publix) has Tito's. Good stuff.

Please allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment.

I'm an international brand, and I want to make an international "splash" but pay let's say, I don't know . . . Mexican prices for advertising. So I poke the giant using its neighbor. Given America's world popularity these days, these "idiots" may be marketing geniuses, who - yes - have heard of youtube.

Just a thought. . . .;-)
