Mexico reconquers California? Absolut drinks to that!

The latest advertising campaign in Mexico from Swedish vodka maker Absolut promises to push all the right buttons south of the U.S. border, but it could ruffle a few feathers in El Norte.

ROFL ... I predict they'll take a big hit when USA sales drop sharply.

You'll help me drink it, or boycott it?

Hey, how 'bout this??

What if I work on drinking it "all gone?"

 

[heavenlydaze]

That's OK....it just means they'll have to go farther to sneak across the border and the Sierra's get mighty cold in the winter.

 

[JinxieJada]

Armadale all the way!!!!:woohoo:

Somebody drank too much of the company product when they came up with that.

[DeltaDawn]

Now if they start doing this with Kulua and tequila I could understand..but how many Vodka drinkers live in EL Mexico? Not enough evidently ...

 

[Txmom]

I help a friend at her liquor store and I ONLY push Titos Vodka. Now I have a reason to REALLY push the Titos.

Holding this thread as proof: to get attention and people's tongues wagging. Of course, they have made a statement about this and pointed out that this was only ran in Mexico and aimed at the Mexican market... that it is nothing more than another round of their artistic label campaigns. Well, yes, it is artistic in the truest vain of Absolut being known for putting art on their bottles and ads... but one can't tell me that Absolut didn't realize that it would cause an uproar. They knew it... they know it... but I don't think they realized at how huge the uproar would get and that it would turn to bite them on the bum.

One thing is for sure: this kind of uproar just increased the value of this particular bottle label and ad, alone. Collectors will be scrambling to own it...

yup...I'll stick with Fris....

Absolut sucks!!!! I'll stick with my Stoli.
