risqué

Long Trout Winery has quite a few eccentric labels. Some of them are eccentric due to the unusual blend of ingredients. But quite a few of them are eccentric in referring to the panoply of human sexual organs. Featured above are the trusty Swollen Member, the good old German Helmet, and Old One Eye. The latter is made with tomatoes, raisins, onions, sweet peppers, celery, string beans, carrots, hot peppers, parsley, horseradish, garlic and soy sauce. Would you drink it? Long Trout is in Auburn, Pennsylvania. Before we depart the topic of Long Trout and their risque labels we’d be derelict if we did not mention this label about everyone’s favorite garden implement.

The time is drawing near, to wind down this series. I am sure there are a great many more examples, further to this theme. Perhaps the readers will point to a few more. All of the above have something in common, and it should be pretty obvious. The first label is from Arcadia Brewing of Battle Creek, Michigan. The second label is from Vaz Brothers of Lodi, California. The third label is from Arcadian Winery of Lompoc, California.

The people that set up the pre-market approval system for alcohol beverages probably did not anticipate that, sooner or later, it would come to this. Here is Erection Rum, imported by Data Commodities of Las Vegas, Nevada.
