Drink at Marks & Spencer

Has anyone seen the canned drink at Marks & Spencer? It’s called Porn Star Martini. How sad that they have sunk so low. What do you think?

It's been around for years and it's just one of many cocktail names

Hippopotas · 22/06/2019 22:57

I think it’s a cocktail name

Anothertempusername · 22/06/2019 23:11

It's a cocktail name. It's pretty shit compared to the ones you get in bars, just FYI.

Trills · 22/06/2019 23:13

Do you really think that M&S would invent that as a cocktail name?

Obviously the Mojitos are the most famous #JusticeForDiane

Porn Star Martini is basically passion fruit & Prosecco and has been known as such for many, many years.

M&S also sell Grips, you know. You should get one.

TokyoSushi · 22/06/2019 23:16

What? It's a really popular cocktail... Confused

WhiteLightTrainWreck · 22/06/2019 23:17

Waitrose also do it, much nicer than the M&S one... Well it was last summer when I last drank alcohol 😅

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 22/06/2019 23:21

It’s a cocktail name ( is the word COCK ok to use of does that offend one too?)

Anyone that’s ever been to a cocktail bar has heard of this.......

happytobemrsg · 22/06/2019 23:22

Erm... that’s the name of the cocktail. It’s actually yummy

Needcoffeecoffeecoffee · 22/06/2019 23:25

Is it that its canned and that's not posh enough for m and s op? Is that the problem?
Perfectly suitable for wicker hampers I'm sure! Wink
But yeah as everyone's said it's a very popular cocktail

OldUnit · 22/06/2019 23:25

Screwdrivers really offend me. So gender specific.

Oh and Sex on the Beach has no place on MY terrace.

Black Russian- racist.
White Russian- still racist.

It's a minefield.

Beingnicetomyself · 22/06/2019 23:25

I had porn star martinis (not in a tin) on my first date with DP Smile

Vinorosso74 · 22/06/2019 23:29

Be grateful a Blow Job can't be canned!!!

My problem is that I wouldn’t be happy with young children seeing it in the shop.

Are you real?

MsSquiz · 23/06/2019 08:57

I'd be more worried that my child was hanging round in the alcoholic drinks section, browsing the products!

Eminybob · 23/06/2019 09:01

There was this exact same thread a few months ago.

Small children don’t do around scrutinising the labels on the drinks on M&S shelves.
It’s the name of a cocktail. If you ever go for food with your dc in a pub or restaurant you’ll see it on the menu or on posters.

Get a grip.

DameXanaduBramble · 23/06/2019 09:07

Oh blimey, stop looking for things to be offended by, its quite liberating.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 23/06/2019 09:11

Won’t someone think of the children!!

Aberforthsgoat · 23/06/2019 09:13

Haha Jesus talk about being precious. You must have a lot of free time if you’re this busy finding things to be offended by OP

MrsAJ27 · 23/06/2019 09:16

Seriously? Other shops/supermarkets also sell it!

Pinklittle · 23/06/2019 09:21

Oh dear!! 🤣
