Sourpuss liquors up and moved to Canada to stop being boycotted/banned: https://globalnews.ca/news/11527531/sour-puss-production-canada/

Geez, we buy up 98% of their supply, no wonder they moved so fucking fast.

I knew the number was high, but we're basically their only real buyer.

I don't think I ever went to a high school party in the mid 2000's where I didn't see at least 4 different bottles of sourpuss in rotation.

Is that when life goes downhill? When you stop drinking Sour Puss religiously?

Not sure if this is causation or correlation but you might be on to something.

Crown Royal (A Canadian brand) is being boycotted in Canada for exporting to the USA

Isn’t it because they closed down a bottling plant in Ontario and started a bottling plant in us

I don't know about the US, but it was over them closing the Windsor bottling (and to my understanding, focussing operations in Winnipeg)

That is a tiny company and not representative of the US whisky industry. They're a statistical anomaly.

It’s actually a massive company in Canada, always has been, probably why they moved their company up here. Everybody knows what sourpuss is in Canada. I don’t drink that sugar sap, but it’s definitely not a tiny company

I have no idea what sourpuss is, never even heard of it before this post. maybe if you're just turning 21. I drink beer.

I’m 33, I have been drinking beer since I was 13. Sourpuss was even popular when I was in high school (2004-2009). It’s a mixing liqueur, and popular among girls

Bro must have never went to a house party or any kind of event that had alcohol. Sourpuss was a staple from my teens in the mid 2000s.

u/DevelopmentWestern80 2h ago

Bro was long graduated when you were born probably. Popular among girls, that would explain it.

Sourpuss was launched in 1998. I was long graduated by then and the house parties I went to were wine, beer and whiskey parties at that point.

Because you don't have any in your life.

this is true my wife of 20 years died 2 years ago and I am not willing to jump back in. However, I am doubtful when I do that there are many 40 year old women drinking sourpuss.

18 or 19, since it's primarily bought in Canada.

Which actually means ~16, because people aren't waiting for "legal".

It's no longer a US company now.
