Well Boomers? Can we stop laughing at idiot Millennials and their affection for Tide Pods?
No. No we can not.

He suggested that the packaging a thin, seemingly invisible layer of seaweed that holds up to 23 milliliters of whisky cocktail is a call for more sustainable consumption of liquor.
Groan - and reusable shot glasses are not?

I don’t understand the kids today. Why don’t they just mix tide with their booze - like the rest of us?

Sounds like a great idea...until you go to work one day with your clothes smelling like Scotch.

Are they chilled on ice or taken at room temperature?

Glenlivet just got a few million Dollars worth of free advertising, thanks to this one news article.

They should come in a tin. Like Altoids. Only better.

While I could see marketing something like this to millenials, filled with Jägermeister, Fireball, or some other hip “shot”, I can’t imagine a Scotch drinker buying it. If they are trying to make Scotch somehow appealing to younger drinkers, this will fail in a big way.

"They should come in a tin."
I like this idea! With the roads around here I'm always spilling some liquor on myself. And it's probably safer too to pop a pod - no taking your eyes off the road while you're trying to get the lid back on the bottle.

The potential for disaster is very high. Imagine some kid downing a handful on a dare. Hell, I might have done it myself back in the days of my yute.

Glenlivet is doing this? Kiddy stuff like Capt Morgan I could believe but....... This is like Rolls Royce marketing a jumping low rider with a ghetto stereo.

Crown Royal has also gone “hip”. It’s like the old SNL skits for Courvoisier are real.

Cant we just make Jell-O shots in the shape and colors of a Tide Pod?
That might be a good idea fo my next Christmas party.

“Millennial” is not a catch-all phrase for anyone who is younger than you are. “Millennial” refers to a specific generation born between 1981 and 1996. The youngest Millennials are now 23. Those KIDS you see doing the stupid Tide Pod challenge are NOT Millennials. They are Gen-Zers. These people are marketing their booze to Generation Z, most of whom are too young to legally consume it.

I used to be addicted to Tide pods, but I’m clean now.
