To be surprised by Sainsbury's selling gin in an oil can?

[Queenoftheworld]

AIBU to think this is not a very sensible idea?

Feels like the next thing will be lavender gin in a meths bottle. Engine gin

It’s not a sainsburys thing it’s just a brand… they have it everywhere.

It's been out for years.

The world has not ended.

Why isn't it sensible? Are you expecting someone to pour it into their Vauxhall?

Aldi had red wine in a plastic bottle this weekend. It was a flattened bottle too. Looked like olive oil. Just wrong.

It’s a nice gin actually! It looks like a drinks can, not a can of engine oil

I think the pearl clutch is strong with this one.

Never seen that one before but it's a very clever design. I love it!

It was on special offer on Ocado just before Christmas. It's pretty nice gin.

Haha!.

OMG, that stuff is lush. One of the few gins we've bought twice.

What's the problem with selling it in an oil can - you don't drink oil - its not like anyone is going to pick it up and neck it thinking its oil!

I love this gin,and keep the empty container in my classic car.

Not very sensible?
What do you think is going to happen?

Er, it’s not a real engine oil bottle.

Signed, a teetotal.

I don’t drink gin but would buy this for the can alone.

Much cheaper on Amazon

It’s not really an oil can though, is it? I don’t see the problem.

You'll have a coronary when you see the cups Engine produce for it! It's very good gin, and a lesson in books and covers...
It stands out, their marketing works.

😂😂😂😂😂

Anyway, engine oil doesn't come in shiny metal cans like that anymore, it's not the 1950s!!

It comes in plastic bottles, usually gold, silver or blue coloured.

🤣🤣🤣 it's a brand.

lol that you've started a a thread on this!

very tacky, I agree

They also used to sell birthday cakes in the shape of a games console controller but I don’t think anyone tried to plug one in…😂

Cans are much easier to recycle than bottles - it’s considered a more sustainable packaging, so they’re becoming more popular. I work in the drinks industry and I see this all the time

@Queenoftheworld be careful not to use Moschino's Fresh perfume to clean your lav.

Does it taste good? That's what matters!
