My wife and I dumped about $500
of new money into the US economy while in Vermont during the long Thanksgiving Day weekend. (You may have noticed that the NYSE
and NASDAQ have both jumped after of our spending spree...but I am a humble man. Thanking me would just embarrass me.)
This I noticed: before returning to Canada, I stopped at a Vermont Liquor Outlet to buy a bottle of Maker's Mark bourbon. For those who know, Maker's Mark is a premier bourbon made in small batches, pricey, and unavailable outside the USA. The regular MM label is beige with brown lettering, and the bottle is sealed with red wax which has dribbled down the neck and dried there.
At this VLO store, the only MM bottles available had a blue & red label with a donkey and an elephant on them to boot. The wax seal was in three colors: red white and blue (and it looked strangely like the French flag.) Bizarre: politics in your liquor...only in the USA!
I didn't buy it.
