Glenlivet's marketing stunt: whiskey in lozenge form

We make rum cakes in our family quite often. If you want, I’ll share the recipe with you.

ETA: They are quite delicious.

For those who are drinking for effect, and don’t care about the taste, like my brother-in-law and his box wine.

We used to have an old lady client of ours bring heavily saturated rum cakes to our hospital. They were alcoholic enough that nobody was allowed to touch them until the workday was over. Also, they were crazy sweet, and absolutely delicious.

Coming to a lunchbox near you! How will the law handle keeping some in a glovebox, as they are an unopened container? (Drinking game; pop one in your mouth every red light.)

Only if you brought enough recipe for the entire class.

Yum!

Yes. And after they take the capsules, Doris Day & Rock Hudson wake up in bed in a motel, married. They get divorced, but Day was impregnated & they get re-married as Day is about to give birth. Now, explain to me again why Doris Day was considered squeaky clean?

If they hadn’t gotten married first, there’s no way they would’ve made a baby part of the plot. This is why she finally agreed to get remarried at the last minute. If she’d stuck to her refusal, well, that kind of plot was usually in movies starring Bette Davis. :wink:

Wie enttäuschend, Kirschstengeli don’t seem to be exported widely. Back of the envelope, that slightly-over-half-pound seems to contain about 1 shot of actual Kirsch.

BTW the (traditional, not-disgusting) Swiss version of the Glenlivet capsule goes like this: dunk your cube of bread in Kirsch, dunk next into the hot pot of fondue cheese, and eat. If you’ve ever wondered what the inside of a diesel engine feels like…

As a former Scotch drinker, this makes me even more glad I got sober. I wonder how many of these pods it would have taken to get me drunk? How many pods have the equivalent volume of alcohol to a half liter of Scotch?

Because of Asterix, I thought for years that orgies were just where one would overindulge in the eating of cheese. Until the day at school where someone brought lots of cheese to a potluck and I asked if we were having an orgy.
