Clear, Clean Taste

Cute little animated forest creatures are here to sell us booze in this bizarre promotional film for PM whisky salesmen. Pour me a stiff one, Mr. Bear!

That was just... odd.

I found it very odd that the animals are never explicitly shown drinking from a branded bottle of PM Whisky. Pretty bad marketing not to show the product, if you ask me.

Art Carney provided narration! Whoa!

And "Chad" directed!

I'm thinking that Pm Ski had to be of the Rotgut variety.
Probably also worked well as a paint stripper too. Bambi and Co forgot to mention that

Good thing it is gone. I thing modern day Old Crow does a good job filling its niche in the rotgut ski
ranks

That's very weird. That's like those Fred and Barney cigarette commercials from years back.

Fritz: I agree with your rotgut diagnosis. Any whisky that needs cartoon characters to motivate its saleforce can't be very good.

Liz: yeah, I thought of the Flintstones cig commercial too, but this never aired on TV (fortunately).

I have a definite love/hate relationship with YouTube: I love it because it allows me to find things like this, but I hate it because of the way the arbitrarily delete videos because of supposed copyright violations.

If you want to make a blog button for me, go ahead. I don't even know what they are!
