brushing my teeth with a bottle of Jack

были времена, когда и я должен был носить такой пиджак:

Sinatra called Jack Daniel’s “nectar of the gods,” and he sometimes wore a blazer with a patch for an imaginary “Jack Daniel’s Country Club.”

плюс, мне очень мне нравится их былая рекламная компания:

What is especially interesting about Jack Daniel’s beginning to advertise regularly is that demand then exceeded supply. “From the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, it was on allocation,” [the brand historian, Nelson] Eddy said. <...> When other companies would pull back from advertising, Jack Daniel’s spent money on ads to tell people they couldn’t get it.”

с хорошим скотчем, впрочем, Джеку[1] не тягаться, и со временем его сладость основательно мне приелась.


[1] — зато нравится идея для коктейля.

    о рекламной компании — невольно перекликается со свежим наблюдением:

    Negotiations with the carriers: Android handset makers: Here are our phones. How would you like us to change them so that you will sell them? Microsoft: Here’s $200 million. Please sell our phones. Apple: Here is our new phone. It comes in black or white. We will let you sell it.
