Own Brand Booze
I'm sure many of you have noticed that supermarkets are making their own knock off versions of branded spirits, one of my favourite was the Baileys clone that was from Lidl (I think) and called Irish Mist. I noticed something else in Asda a few weeks ago called ScotchMac which sounded like the laziest attempt at implying Caledonian heritage that I've ever seen.
So, anyone else spotted any others that made them laugh or can you think of one they should do?

Re: Own Brand Booze
The ASA would not allow it but I think that using colloquial terms for being drunk would be a great branding tool.
'Can I have a pint of Sloshed please?'
'Could I have two bottles of Pissed, and a Legless and coke?'
'Have you got any Arseholed on tap?'
'How much is the Fuckedup?'

Re: Own Brand Booze
I think a slogan such as 'Making alcaholism affordable' would be quite apt >:D
