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

Yes! Add Fever Tree Mediterranean 😋

You not seen all the weird shapes perfume comes in.

Canna see fit the problem is min.

I'd have more safety concerns if they were selling engine oil in gin bottles.

Given the extent of the nanny state now it would not come as a surprise if someone sued sainsburys because they thought it was engine oil and they've knackered their car!!

That's my friend's birthday present sorted, thank you :).

Can I ask why are you surprised by this? (Not being snarky, just curious).

Nothing to do with Sainsbury's really, it's a brand that they just happen to stock.

Hmmm. I wonder if the OP is a PR person for Engine?

My teen son uses aftershave that comes in a fist shaped bottled but hasn’t try to punch it yet so don’t worry lol

Selling engine oil in a gin bottle would be more problematic.

I like the packaging!! I think it’s lovely, it makes me think of cool Italian racing drivers from 1960s.
Does it bother you when they sell Filipo Berio Olive Oil in the same cans?

I'm going to look elsewhere for this, I love the bottle! Don't want to spend around £30 on it as gin is perhaps the most vile drink to exist, but I collect interesting bottles and have plenty of family and friends who like the stuff. 😁

I agree, so confusing. When my DC try to drink engine oil and they get GIN instead it could kill them, they are only 49 months.

I’ve just realised why my car broke down last week

Why is it not sensible? It's just marketing, I quite like it. Wouldn't give my Skoda any though

Wish Sainsburys operated shops here in Ireland.

What worries you about it?
I would imagine the can is new and has never actually contained engine oil.
It's not for children so they won't confuse engine oil for it.
Any adult who drinks engine oil thinking its gin or puts gin in their engine has problems no change of packaging will solve.

Surely this is an ad 🤣🤣

Well if you work for the company then you've done your job as I'm definitely going to buy some!

This level of silly makes me think of the Yosamite park rangers who when criticized for not putting in measures to stop bears getting into the camp bins responded with:

'Unfortunately their is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and that of the dumbest tourists'

Perfect for a birthday present for a gin drinking petrol head friend of mine. Thank you.

Absolutely 😁

IT's a good idea

What an odd thing to be surprised about, it’s just a gimmicky bottle and very clearly gin, not engine oil. My BIL bought us a bottle for Xmas for our bar as we like to have lots of different bottles on the shelves, have yet to open it but I like the fact it’s different and would definitely give as a gift to certain people

where i am they sell olive oil in cans like that.
