Over the past few years I have been on the search for the perfect vodka. During these years I have drank countless fifths, suffered many hangovers and porked fat chick after fat chick. About a week ago I decided I would continue my relentless research with a little help from the good people at Belvedere, or so I thought good people. My first impressions of this vodka were good, good but not great. It was pricey and racially stereotyped, all in all the taste was good, and I was even considering it to be one of the top vodkas, until I started reading the advertisement on the back. As I read the first sentence my jaw dropped as I fully began to understand the utter boldness that the pompous apple-johns at Belvedere Vodka had forced upon me. The label reads; “Worlds BEST vodka”… First of all I don’t need the corporate ‘machine’ telling me what the world’s best vodka is. Second, HOW DARE THEY back me in a corner like this and pretty much tell me that my search is over. How bold can one company be to claim such greatness? I dare say ‘The Zogger’ is the world’s best paper, or I have the best cuticles in the world, or that Ron Erving’s mustache is the most supple piece of facial accessory I have ever seen. I am just not that type of person. I could never make a decision as important as that for another person. I did some more looking into this and it turns out that this goes deeper than I previously thought. The incredulous silly-nanny’s at ‘Kettle One’ seem to think they have the “world’s finest vodka”, and ‘Grey Goose’, don’t even get me started on their bald face lies to the American public, with their snide comments of “world’s best tasting vodka”. Here’s an idea, how about I be in charge for a while and I decide what I like and what I don’t like. I tell you these scaly-wags really bake my bread with their blatant disregard for the public’s ability to make their own informed decisions. So, to those of you who don’t mind being a slave and a corporate sellout, continue drinking your mass media produced, post 9-11 hysteria based fraud juice. I have the ability to make up my own mind, and so should you.

Some very intersting views and thoughts there,it is amazing what people will say and do to get you to purchase or try their product, but with everything in the world they only way you will find out is to try it. We all differ in many ways and somehting that may suit someone else may not suit you. I have a site http://www.vodka.in which is just a fun and informative site about all aspects of vodka.
Sometimes in life it is a case of trial and error and if you never try how will you ever know if you like or dislike something?
