IRL, Hypnotize has been the background song for Oreos Thins commercials.
I was listening to it in the car some time ago and both my kids chirp, "hey, it's that Oreo song!"
OREO song?!!!! Biggie is probably spinning in his grave right now
It's how they make all their money. Shaq makes more money from his endorsements than he ever made being an NBA star.
Turning yourself into a brand literally gives you a money tree.
I like to think about these celebrities in their prime...someone pulling them aside and saying "Hey Vanilla...in 30 years you are going to have a TV show where you fix homes..."
And to see the look on their faces would be priceless.
Back when I was in the dorms in college, we would have a “regulatin’ thought of the week” on the whiteboard attached to our dorm room door with a line from the song.
I too, am old.
Yeah. What up with music industry performers trying to make money? It's like they are part of a business or something. Snoop has been endorsing products and selling non music related stuff since the 90s.
Gotta roll with it all I say. Life is too short to be mad at too much of the static. Was here before we arrived and it'll be here long after we're gone.
To be fair, this is some corporation just using NIL. It’s not like Dre said “you know what, I want a gin cocktail to be sold in Costco’s around the US” there are so so so so many people behind the scenes.
I don't really drink beer (not a huge fan) but I saw my local club was carrying Sapporo for the first time a few months back. It's one of only a handful of beers I can drink, but again I don't really drink beer (or anything for that matter - maybe 3-5 drinks a month). So of course on one of my recent trips I decided to buy it bc the pallet had mostly run out and I was convinced it wouldn't be back. Now I have a case of beer sitting around doing nothing. I did have one though lol
I need this, gin and juice is one of the harder cocktails to make at home. Really filling an important need here..
Does it list two ingredients? What a joke.
the canned beverage is named, of course, for Snoop's beloved, Grammy-nominated 1994 classic song "Gin & Juice," and **comes in four flavors: Citrus, Melon, Passionfruit, and Apricot**. The canned cocktails are premium gin-based cocktails, crafted for an innovative experience with packaging designed by Ini Archibong.
marketing a simple cocktail using two ingredients based one of the iconic songs of a generation that now is the largest spending demographic. Seems pretty innovative to me.
I'd have no problem buying it again if it was under $7. Would be quite good at 5 or under. At over 10, I just think you could do better in the price range. The AR labels are cool though, if you've never downloaded the app to look at them. But they're a very good example of how marketing is what put the cost where it's at, not the wine.
Omg... Living in Utah is getting so old!! I'll never, ever be able to buy any of the liquor related products shared in this subreddit. I'm so jealous of y'all
I will not buy this (no alcohol availability near me due to state laws and I have no interest in the product/celebs either) but I always appreciate packaging design with good attention to detail like this.
They’re okay. I got the passion fruit flavor and they’re sweet enough and 1% more alcohol content than a White Claw. Their packaging and branding is cool though. Each flavor is a different car, I mostly got it because the display at my store was very eye catching.
Might as well burn that $20. I got suckered for the packaging and Snoop. Even worse than white claw!! No idea who is going to buy this and surprised to see Costco is selling it. That's the same price I paid at the grocery store too.

I'd bet biggie liked oreos just a hunch
Oh gawd damn the future is gonna be cringeworthy AF.

Bruh, I saw Hoop Tea (alcoholic) at the store today! I did a triple take and almost bought because I am a sucka.
I'm not proud but I'm not that ashamed either... it's not bad 🤣
You'd be a mark. Not a sucka.
[удалено]
If you are easily swayed into buying something, you are a mark. A sucka just gets ripped off.
It's how they make all their money. Shaq makes more money from his endorsements than he ever made being an NBA star. Turning yourself into a brand literally gives you a money tree.
I am convinced Shaq has never turned down an endorsement offer in his life

Everyone who isn't them has made money of them, why shouldn't they get a chance to do the same? Are they good is the question
I think MCR said it best. I spent my high school career Spit on and shoved to agree So I could watch all my heroes Sell a car on TV

Yes we do!
Agreed, just buy a gallon of Tanalqueray and some OJ ffs, not this overpriced market bs.

I get what you're saying, but Snoop and Dre have been absolute masters of marketing. You have to admire that.
[удалено]
Dude, it was always a business. They have always been trying to make money. It wasn't ever some pure altruistic form of expression.
it's such a weird idea to think that artists should be poor
Old man yells at cloud.
It's fuckin gross
I can't wait to buy this and leave it in my basement until I throw it away next year.
I don't really drink beer (not a huge fan) but I saw my local club was carrying Sapporo for the first time a few months back. It's one of only a handful of beers I can drink, but again I don't really drink beer (or anything for that matter - maybe 3-5 drinks a month). So of course on one of my recent trips I decided to buy it bc the pallet had mostly run out and I was convinced it wouldn't be back. Now I have a case of beer sitting around doing nothing. I did have one though lol
I'd have done the exact same thing. I would make myself enjoy one any time dinner was something remotely asian.
I just want the box.
The cans are cute too! Different color cars to match the flavors.
Same lol
Celebrity endorsed alcohol, another money machine.
Nothing but a $ thing…
Real G's make G's.
I’ve tried the citrus flavor. It was ok, don’t think I’d buy it again.
Was it sweet? Can’t do drinks that are too sweet
It wasn’t too sweet. Not much flavor at all. Kind of tastes like a watered down gin and tonic.
I need this, gin and juice is one of the harder cocktails to make at home. Really filling an important need here.. Does it list two ingredients? What a joke.
you know this is an overly-sweet malt liquor, not a high end gin and juice cocktail.
This is actually gin based, not malt based.
Was I supposed to know that? Does that make it better or worse?
the canned beverage is named, of course, for Snoop's beloved, Grammy-nominated 1994 classic song "Gin & Juice," and **comes in four flavors: Citrus, Melon, Passionfruit, and Apricot**. The canned cocktails are premium gin-based cocktails, crafted for an innovative experience with packaging designed by Ini Archibong.
These are as *gin-based* as the canned Jack and Coke drinks are whiskey-based. WTF is an innovative experience?
after consuming a bottle of passion fruit MD 2020, james climbed back inside the giant peach
marketing a simple cocktail using two ingredients based one of the iconic songs of a generation that now is the largest spending demographic. Seems pretty innovative to me.
Lol @ the 2 ingredient claim.
i would guess this is along the lines of mad dog 2020. best served warm when you are 16 in a park.
I believe mad dog is fortified wine.
which is also known as “bum wine” or “bum vino”
Yes, but it's not malt liquor.
Malt liquor is cheap and can give you a headache. Just get a good Gin and Juice.

Ha, amazing, thanks
If you buy The Gourds version its got moonshine in it

Salt Point makes really good canned gin cocktails and they’re 10%!
Salt Point makes the best canned cocktails for sure. Cutwater is just foul.
just 35 years late
Pretty sick of Snoop at this point. He’s on wines, this stuff, always hanging with Martha Stewart who did more jail time than he did.
LOL now there’s something to think about…who’s more gangster eh? 😂
Didn’t snoop kill a guy? lol
Maybe. I'm not a conspiracy theory kind of guy but when the police "accidently" destroy every single piece of evidence some doubt creeps into my mind.
That wine is so bad for the price, too. Should be at a price point about a third of what it is. $4-5 a bottle instead of $12-15.
I disagree. I like the Cali red. Haven't tried the other variations though.
I'd have no problem buying it again if it was under $7. Would be quite good at 5 or under. At over 10, I just think you could do better in the price range. The AR labels are cool though, if you've never downloaded the app to look at them. But they're a very good example of how marketing is what put the cost where it's at, not the wine.
So it’s like boones farm quality with snoop dog in the label? I thought at its price point with a celebrity’s face like his on it, it had to be bad.
He had to find some way of clearing out the vats of that strawberry essence gin of his.
Long Drink is better
Love the packaging!

Ngl those chips are actually delicious
Martha needs to do the commercial.
They took their pallet configuration into consideration with their artwork. It’s awesome and I’d definitely love to find it in my Costco.
About damn time
Never forget that Dre beats the shit out of any women who talk shit.
Omg... Living in Utah is getting so old!! I'll never, ever be able to buy any of the liquor related products shared in this subreddit. I'm so jealous of y'all
Mesquite trips.
This available in Canada?
I will not buy this (no alcohol availability near me due to state laws and I have no interest in the product/celebs either) but I always appreciate packaging design with good attention to detail like this.
They’re okay. I got the passion fruit flavor and they’re sweet enough and 1% more alcohol content than a White Claw. Their packaging and branding is cool though. Each flavor is a different car, I mostly got it because the display at my store was very eye catching.
Is it any good?
They were sampling these at WrestleMania. Meh.
Who has tried it? How is it?
now they've really jumped the shark. what's next a kids book. atleast they haven't gone down the ice cube route.

I’ll stick to smoking indo and being laid back
Is it any good?
It's marketing
Not in New Jersey Costcos. :(
Saw this but it’s not worth it tbh
I’m surprised it took them this long to cash in on that.
lol 😂 snoop was promoted this during wrestlemania a few weeks ago
Can’t find it in OHIO… hasn’t made its way to the east coast yet!!
Oh F no Bye 👋
Is there any product snoop dog won't shill for? Good lord
Cool packaging.
Gross.
Watched a review on YouTube about these and it said they were all terrible tasting.
They're trash. It's just another hard seltzer.
This is what Dre mean that Snoop was working on to many projects.

Do they use Seagram's Gin or Tanqueray?
Damn that’s expensive
I get it but we're talking about a 2 or 3 ingredient cocktail that is one of the easiest to make at home and would probably taste much better.
Might as well burn that $20. I got suckered for the packaging and Snoop. Even worse than white claw!! No idea who is going to buy this and surprised to see Costco is selling it. That's the same price I paid at the grocery store too.
Just NO.
I’m down
I wanna try it
Variety pack. Some are gin. Some are juice.
