Put it quotes because I’m technically a very minor owner in the company, but I will get some remuneration.
These are PR boxes. They will come with a small bottle of mezcal, a shot glass, and a booklet. They wanted the raw, unfinished look that I had with the mock-up, so we stuck with unfinished (beyond a very light sanding) of Baltic birch.
the liquor laws in this country are whack. they vary so radically state to state (and sometimes county to county). and the distribution systems as well. it’s a serious PITA to navigate getting into new states.
I was studying at Penland School n North Carolina and there are a number of dry counties there where even the empty box with bottle and glass (no Alcohol) could get you arrested. We were at a nature park, where seeing 100ft was unlikely swimming at a creek there and some woman caught sight of a can of soda and reported us to the authorities.
There was some county ranger that looked like a walking mummy of himself 2/3 of the size he would be with his skin filled out, had the most memorable line that the woman had the inalienable right to go through her life and never see a beer can!
when i was stationed at goodfellow AFB in texas, green county (where the base was) was a dry county. but there were drive through liquor stores right across the county line and it was legal to drive in green county with an open container. so you couldn’t buy liquor, but you could drive 10 feet across the county line, buy a bottle of jack daniels, then drive through green county chugging straight from the bottle (as long as, of course, you weren’t drunk yet).
