My husband drinks Finlandia vodka anyway. But I'm sure he wouldn't touch Absolut even if it were free after that.
Edited to add: By the way, wasn't Absolut just purchased by a
FRENCH company?

They probably should design maps and ad campaigns BEFORE they begin drinking. Or they could hire somebody who isn't so geographically challenged.

Notice the vodka has no effect on us Canadians as well as you Americans living in the norhtern states. Must be the climate. Now it was expansion due to beer...that's another story eh?

Looks like they haven't heard of our campaign to turn Detroit over to Canada.

Thanks but no. I think we would consider the Michigan upper pennisula though. I hear there are some good deer hunting areas there.

I think it's brilliant marketing. Whether Mexicans develop a taste for vodka, well, we'll wait and see.
