I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I wanted someone to remark that there wasn't ________.

Grey Goose or Belvedere, then. Or Ciroc, if the person in question is hip and trendy. But Grey Goose is popular enough and enough of a staple at most bars that its omission would be odd, especially in a hotel bar.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whee! Hip and Trendy!

Not that I've had it more than once, but still. I'm 37, have arthritis and am having botox in a couple days. I take whee where I can get it.

Also pouting. I do that too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Grey Goose. It's the most popular premium in the US.

I was listening to NPR about the premium vodka market some months ago and they said that when Stoli was introduced, people thought paying $9 a bottle for vodka was insane. Now it's just paved the way for $30, $50 bottles.

Because books.

Aw. You should have much more wheee and much less of the other stuff.

Grey Goose it is, then. Although the Belvedere bottle is very pretty...

From juliana's linked article: vodka and Mountain Dew? Say it ain't so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In business school in college, we learned that some vodka company produced a more expensive version of their regular vodka - the more expensive stuff then sold better than the regular stuff, despite the fact that they were exactly the same. Yeah, the only difference was a different label and a higher price....

On the flip side, in college I thought that there was really no difference between vodka brands, so I once bought the cheapest vodka I could find, called Something Special From Wisconsin. It was awful. My friends made fun of me for that for years....

Not much different from vodka & Red Bull, I'd think. Not having had either mixer, I could be talking out of my ass.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cheap vodka filtered through a Brita filter tastes similar to more expensive brands: [link]

Mountain Dew is ass. It's horribly sweet and disgusting. Red Bull is clearer in taste somehow.
