You know what’s worse than pulling things off the shelves? Threatening the sovereignty of foreign nations and then making up bullshit tariffs to do so
Dear Mr. Daniel,
I’m sorry that a store pulling things from their shelves is hurting your business, but I thought you should know that this is not even the tip of the iceberg.
Regardless of what any store does, I will simply not be buying Jack Daniel’s, probably ever, along with a slew of other things, as many as I possibly can.There are so many better whiskeys around the world that I certainly don’t need to.
I empathize with the collateral damage this may cause, and hope that something, anything really, is eventually enough for y’all fuckers to start thinking about getting your shit together.
In the meantime, I will simply Buy Anything But American.I am just one person, but I am not alone.
Sincerely,
Fix your shit or get fucked,
A random CanadianI can’t even smell the stuff it’s horrible.
And I drink Laphroaig neat.
Liquid bandaids
Are Jack and Laphroaig on similar levels? I know import vs domestic drives the prices apart some, but I just assumed Jack was more like a “cheap top shelf”.
Oh goodness me, no. Think Rose Art vs Crayola, respectively.
They seem like different animals to me. I wouldn’t compare the two.
I can’t speak of higher end Jack, but Laphroaig base is far better than Jack base.
Yeah that’s been my experience, too, which is why the comment comparing the two confused me.
Someone commented that it was the smell they were comparing… not the taste. I like peaty smell so didn’t make sense.
Laphroaig is a punch you in the face level peaty/smokey Scotch
It’s one of my favorites!
I’d buy some but it’s likely to be 150% more expensive by the time I get to it.
I wonder what happens to the US economy if many citizens stop making large or discretionary purchases.
I don’t know either, but it can’t be good.
no the joke is I like something that smells debateably awful.

American here. You aren’t alone by any stretch. Once people and countries establish alternatives they very likely won’t switch back. Farmers found out the hard way the first time but they aren’t very smart so here we are. Also, tariffs are considered an act of war by many.
its going to end up like soybean tariffs with china, china found other sources of soybeans from asia, and south america, and largely ditched USA. im sure canada will do the same with alcohol.
But Four Roses tho :(
Probably shouldn’t have elected a stampeding bull for a president
A demented evil orange piece of shit? Like some sort or rapist nazi pedo asshole? That?
Ya, but I tried staying contextual in my description 😉
Gotcha. Context is not usually one of my driving factors.
Completely understandable, especially given *gestures broadly*.
I stole this photo from Reddit just for this occasion
I’m stealing it for the next occasion. thanks!
World’s tiniest cello?
Jack Daniel’s is a Tennessee company, which voted overwhelmingly for Trump (60+%) in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
“But why did they eat MY face!?!”
I checked their donations and while pleasantly surprised still don’t really care. For Americans they’re a fine option, for Canadians don’t buy American
It doesn’t matter if they’re a good company or not. It causes them to put pressure on the government.
Random Canadian dude says U.S. threatening Canada’s sovereignty 'worse than pulling alcohol off shelves"
Random American here agreeing with Random Canadian brother or sister. I stand on guard for thee!
There are some US products that are gonna be difficult to replace. This is not one of them 😂
The way country music romanticizes (read: shills) Jack Daniels you’d think it’s the greatest spirit ever distilled, rather than the disgusting swill it actually is.
Is Epic Meal Time still a thing? I remember them using Jack Dagniels for some syrup and other dishes.
They always had better branding than booze. I’ve always been partial to tulamoor dew. I wonder who makes that? I’ll be back with an edit
Edit: it’s scotch/Irish Wiki
Hay man, it’s also glorified in hard rock as well as tv and film. It’s Americana to the maxx!
Take it up with Trump, not Canada
Good, keep it up. Put the pain on us in the US. We need to learn our lesson.
We should do that in europe too!
As a (hopefully soon to be ex) American: do it! Pull all our whiskeys. Between the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Japan, you can replace just about anything we make.
I saw a video about American booze being taken off the shelf, and it got interrupted by an ad for Jameson. That ad happened to talk about how very Irish Jameson is.
Jameson’s marketing team is on the ball LOL.
Sure, we’ll buy European booze, and maybe you could buy Canadian booze when you can. Also maybe Ireland and France could ratify CETA please? We will buy your whiskeys and wines, really odd that those two countries are holding out on us on that.
As an American I can confirm that crown royal and coke is superior than jack and coke.
Stevie Ray Vaughan special
You talking about coca cola or the other coke?
I’ll never tell…
Now with more purple!

Coke is American too. Unfortunately Royal Crown Cola is too (not only the original brand, but also the current megaconglomerate overlord).
But, it would be fun to replace the “Jack and Coke” with “Crown Royal and Royal Crown”.
Without doing any research, I’d be hard pressed to believe they didn’t support trump all the way.
Mostly Democrats actually, and no one at a Federal level.
According to OpenSecrets, about $100k to Nikki Haley and Kentucky GOP.
I think what’s wild is that Canada only makes 1% of Jack Daniel’s sales while Mexico makes up 7% of their sales.
If Mexico pulls Jack off their shelves, it’ll hit harder.
They should do it immediately. What the fuck are they even doing?
AFAIK Canada can do it quickly because most liquor stores are government owned and run (LCBO in Ontario for example), whereas in Mexico it’s individual retailers. And many of the retailers in Mexico are American chains: Wal*Mart, Costco, etc. If Soriana and Chedraui wanted they could stop selling American booze, but they’re for-profit companies that are probably thinking they’ll just let their customers choose if they want to boycott.
Who is wasting money on Jack Daniel’s anyway? Literally everything in the same price range is better
It’s $20 quality sold for $40
Yeah that whinging from that source tells us it’s an adequate target.
I enjoy seeing the seditionist red states being hit by this. I have no empathy for these people other than blue voters in these states.
