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....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
vodka and Mountain Dew? Say it ain't so.
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]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mountain Dew is ass. It's horribly sweet and disgusting. Red Bull is clearer in taste somehow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
vodka & Red Bull
That always sounds vile to me, but I used to drink rum & Jolt, so I have no business high horsing it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
vodka & Red Bull
It is vile to me. But then, plain Red Bull is vile to me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Mythbusters has done a whole series of vodka experiments.

I had a Russian co-worker for a while. On his last day of work we hit a bar and had some ice-cold vodka. He took one sip and said, "Vodka should be 60% alcohol. This is only 40%."
I was amazed....
