Whisky (8 Shots of It) In A Can: What Could Possibly Go Wrong

[slimvictor]

The makers of Four Loko wish they thought of this.

The thing about glass bottles – they're heavy and breakable. What if there was a safe, recyclable way to get your whisky fix? One Panamanian company is now packaging the party in an aluminum can.

Scottish Spirits thinks selling whisky in cans can help them tap into the outdoor beverage market. “It's lightweight and portable and entirely recyclable, which is good news. It will be one of the hot picks for any outdoor activities,” said Scottish Spirits CEO Manish Panshal.

But unlike your normal canned beverages, this is not meant to be enjoyed solo. Scottish Spirits mentions – well, merely suggests – that the drink “is the perfect size to be shared between three people who can mix it with other things like cola.”

Highly alcoholic booze from aluminum cans will not taste the same. It will have a metallic whizz to it.

someone correct me if I'm off here: I'm speculating:

Ever smoke bud from a pipe made from aluminum foil? You can taste the metal because part of the aluminum is being burned off and inhaled.

In the same way, highly alcoholic booze may oxidize some of the aluminum from the can's walls.

Also, someone should inform the author that glass is recyclable.

God I hate automated retweets cluttering the bottom of articles. Surely we are in the last days.

^Any aluminum beverage can has a plastic lining on the inside, so I doubt if any oxidation will occur except for around the lip where you've cracked the seal.

^ there's a reason beer tastes much better out of bottles...

Same reason liquor from a glass bottle tastes better than liquor from a plastic bottle.

How in the hell could eight shots of whiskey in the same drink make any sense? In other news, marijuana continues to remain illegal. We'll be back with more ignorant news that makes no fucking sense right after this.
