The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Maker's Mark, a mass produced basic bitch bourbon, was initially marketed with the tagline "It tastes expensive because it is." I say this as a whiskey drinker, it's pretty much all marketing.

Why are you a whisky drinker if its all just marketing? Vodka is cheaper.

Because I fell for the fucking marketing. Duh.
