A stylized
purple-in-
purple eye glares at you from the wall of the bar like a maladjusted
Fremen. Printed
lightning radiates from the center to its periphery along with a collection of bottles.
Wild letters printed on the center of the wheel dare you to "
TAKE Y0UR BEST SH0T". Should you accept the challenge and
spin it, it
clicks until the
bottle of your
randomly chosen poison takes a place under the arrow at the top.
Unfortunately for those who feel
variety is a
good thing, the factors are few,
Jose Cuervo,
Black Haus,
Rumpleminz, or, the
wild card, "
bartender's
choice". What do all of the
hard liquors above have in common? Aside from the fact that they'll all get you
fucked up, they're all
distributed by a
company called Euclid, the same people to provide the wheel to the
bar.
The spinning, clicking, live-action
commercial contains four spaces for each of the liquors and two for "bartender's choice", which could result in, (
GASP) the
purchase of a
liquor distributed by another
company. It's another
trojan horse in a
parade of
gifts with
ulterior motives.
This is no
exposure of a grand
conspiracy. Of course the company is going to put only their products on the wheel. That's the wheel's
purpose and that's why they pay to
produce the
wheel. While I can't
condemn the company for their actions, I can look upon the wheel with
disapproval, as another
empty facet of
entertainment designed to
manipulate.
Bad wheel!
Bad!
