P. Diddy at my Liquor Store

Apparently P. Diddy has a new contract to promote Ciroc Vodka which is infused with french grapes. This is generally something I wouldn’t give a damn about. But when the man of many names happens to be doing promotions at my liquor store of choice, I take notice. You can check out the full photo album of Puffy’s appearance at the Tower Package on Piedmont Rd. A few things caught my attention

- I noticed this on Friday at the store and once again looking through the pictures. It’s weird how many of the employees I recognize. If nothing else, this is a bad sign for my financial well being and my liver.

- I imagine that P. Diddy also makes many of his liquor decisions based on price like i do. Though that would be for totally different reasons. Sean John probably leans towards the most expensive thing he can find. I however keep a log on my phone of the different prices at stores all over town.

- Does Mr. Combs tip the guys who help bring out a keg, boxes, ices, etc. to your car? For some reason this never occurred to me until recently and now I feel like a cheap bastard.

- Is Ciroc a really bland vodka that’s based on marketing not taste and profits off it’s connections with a now discontinued top shelf vodka?

Keep Your Jager Cold on the Go

Need to take a bottle of Jagermeister around campus but are worried that a brown bag won’t keep it ice cold? Luckily your local liquor store may be selling bottles of Jager that come with these handy orange koozies. Theoretically this would also keep 1.75ml bottles of vodka cold as well. Which is good since I don’t imagine Ketel One will be featuring a koozie as part of their packaging anytime soon.
