Above is a photo I took this morning of a commercial aired on FoxNews. It is for Redneck Rivera Whiskey. It costs $25 a bottle.
This is how their website describes it:
Redneck Riviera American Blended Whiskey is a small-batch whiskey that brings together the perfect blend of smoothness, sweetness, and subtle complexity. Designed for whiskey enthusiasts who appreciate a well-balanced sip, this whiskey delivers approachable sweetness with a rich, full-bodied finish. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, this blend captures the essence of a great American whiskey.
NOSE
- Light vanilla and butterscotch sweetness
- Hints of caramel, rounded out by a bright touch of honey
PALATE
- Smooth vanilla mingling with subtle oak
- A rich, complex body featuring honey, dark stone fruit essence, and earthy grains
FINISH
- Approachable sweetness balanced by a subtle oak and earthy grain undertone
In other words, this is a whiskey for rednecks who have a discerning palate.
Look closely at the photo. You'll see that I took this at 6:13. This isn't 6:13 in the evening. It is 6:13 AM. I don't know if this was a commercial aired just locally or nationally. If it was national it means that people on the east coast would have been seeing at at 9:13 AM.
Here are some more of the photos I took:
Mammoth Nation is a merchandise company which wants you to "Hit the Radical Left Where it Hurts."
Even though this commercial is ostensibly for whiskey it also advertises t-shirts.
When I watch MSNBC at night I see commercials for prescription drugs. The ads for the weight loss drug Wegovy is on several times a night. I assume MSNBC has concluded that there are a lot over overweight people watching. There are also ads for diabetes and anti-cancer drugs. In between these ads are insurance company commercials. My conclusion is that MSNBC assumes that part of their evening audience includes older adults concerned about their weight, health, and whether they want to buy isurance.
FoxNews must have studied the demographics of their morning audience and decided that some of them not only like their macho whiskey, but that they may be nursing a hangover.
Hair of the dog, anybody?
