People get so drunk they can’t tell the difference. And is it the BS people who get the call? No. It’s the Jack Daniels people because after eating dog food a drunk person needs something to wash that taste out of their mouth.
I bet their brand is harmed more by suing Bad Spaniels. It certainly gives me a negative opinion of them. Pretty patronizing to suggest that “consumers are dumb fucks that can’t tell the difference and might think we sanction this product.”
> As it argues in its brief: “Jack Daniel’s loves dogs and appreciates a good joke as much as anyone. But Jack Daniel’s likes its customers even more, and doesn’t want them confused or associating its *fine whiskey* with dog poop.” [emphasis mine]
1. Jack Daniels telling on their customers for being so stupid they can’t tell dog toys from cheap booze
2. Jack Daniels saying they like jokes and then calling Jack Daniels *fine whiskey* in the same statement without realizing the comedic effect
I came here to post this article when I saw it this morning. It’s genuinely terrifying that this is made it to the Supreme Court. How much more of an obvious parody could this be? No court should have sided with Jack Daniels on this!

Why would you go up against PUPPIES? Who are Jack Daniels’ lawyers and why are they bad?

“I went out to buy a fifth of Jack, and I ended up with a rubber squeaky toy. Turns out I like the toy better.”
Another lost customer for Jack Daniels.
