The Viagra of Tequilas?

The tequila that can help you make it through a long night? Go figure. Caramba tequila is claiming, through an extremely provocative ad, their tequila has extra anejo that will provide you that much needed help when your sexual escapades continue on in to the early hours of the morning. The sad reality is that anejo, in terms of tequila, simply refers to the number of years that the alcohol has aged, typically somewhere between one and seven. The “good” people at Caramba tequila along with the majority of the capitalist world have realized that sex sells. The more flamboyant you can be with incorporating sex into your advertisements the more people will typically choose your product. The ad assumes that you will notice a pair of attractive legs laying in a bed in which the sheets appear to be strewn about and wrapped over the woman’s body. The ad also assumes that you will notice the torso and legs of an extremely fit man on the right side of the ad. The next assumption the ad makes is that you will notice the significance in the placement of the bottle of tequila in regards to the body positioning of the man. When the two are lined up as they are in the ad it appears as though the man has a raging erection. The final assumption being made by the ad is that the viewer will draw the connection between the naked woman lying in the bed with the naked man and the fact that they are most likely about to engage in sex until the wee hours of the morning. To top everything off, Caramba employs a double entendre by stating “extra anejo for an extra long night”. There-in lies the promise being made by Caramba Tequila. Caramba is promising that through drinking their tequila you will be blessed with a large penis that can be used to have sex with an attractive woman for longer periods of time than you ever thought possible. False promise? Lets get a bottle and find out…

beer 'n' bear

This last winter a group of us were staying at a friends cabin in big bear for a couple days to get in some good riding. One night while we were all sitting around after a full day on the mountain, the topic of what one would consider a solid versus what one would consider a liquid was brought up. The initial argument was whether an orange was a solid or a liquid. From this point many other foods were called in to question with both sides standing firm to their beliefs.

I myself adhered to the fact that an orange is a solid. If you throw an orange at someone and hit him or her in the head it’s going to hurt, but if you throw water at someone it would be nowhere near as painful (excluding the affect of temperature of the water).

One side of the room attempted to claim that since an orange produces juice it therefore is a liquid, completely disregarding the nature of the orange’s peel. The other side of the room stood by the fact that an orange has the ability to break a window, can stand on its own, and remains as one item until cut apart. Despite our attempts at using the rhetorical technique of logos, the (clearly) wrong side of the room was unmoved to our belief.

From this point the argument progressed in an odd order of events, beginning with apples being called into question and eventually moving to a near brawl over whether or not burritos were a liquid or a solid. The (wrong) other side of the room did not truly believe that a burrito was a liquid, however they were so dug in to the trenches of their side of the argument that there was no way they were escaping with their dignity unless they rode their sinking ship to the bottom of the ocean.

Each side argued with their hearts on their sleeve and many scuffles were narrowly avoided yet in the end it was agreed upon; Oranges, as well as apples and burritos, were solids and that this argument would never again be spoken of with each other.
