Probably would have been less cringy if he didn't plaster his name all over it. Dan Akroyd sells some really good vodka from a glass bottle shaped like a skull. He puts his face on the ads and whatnot, but the product is called Crystal Head Vodka. The ads he did for it stressed how it's made and how pure it is compared to the competition. You know, like a real company would try to do in the free market.
Akroyd is the founder or at least one of them. I enjoy it as well. Definitely a smoother and less "chemically tasting" vodka than I thought.
But that's my point though. You could enjoy it and never know he was part of it. I only found out because I saw Akroyd talking about it in an interview, which got me curious enough to try once he mentioned how their process worked. Good marketing without going overboard
I never understood the appeal of celebrities selling random products, especially ones that already exist aplenty, like soda or alcohol. Sure, for them it's about making money but why would anybody buy that stuff? It's just relabeled regular products with a markup for the name.
Yes the soda market is filled with established brands. What makes this soda different? At least Poppy has the less sugar, pro-biotic niche to offer. Stiller soda is just another root beer
I could see the appeal, but usually celebrities with class tend to avoid these kinds of promotions. Even well matched possibilities for good products. It's just not how things flow and play out in most cases.

Crystal Skull's decent. The bottle's a gimmick, but it's fine to drink. Never knew Akroyd was involved.

What I learned from Dan Akroyd is that his vodka is filtered using real diamonds and the competition use antifreeze in theirs.
I don't even drink, but I know that much. That's good marketing.

Idc I still want to try James May’s gin.

If I saw that on my front door camera my door would be full of holes. That's some "No I'm not human" shit.
I am genuinely surprised that twitter post works under this win domain.
