    As an American I can confirm that crown royal and coke is superior than jack and coke.

    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

    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.

    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 Canadian

      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.

    Cool. You’re a giant corporation with pockets deep enough to keep making meaningful statements. Keep it up.

    (They won’t)

    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.

    Without doing any research, I’d be hard pressed to believe they didn’t support trump all the way.
