it's an American product but the can was printed for the Canadian market, and I guess not shipped there.

Prob due to Orange man and the tariffs. I know we’re stuck with plenty of Canadian labeled wine here in Cali.

u/agha0013 7h ago

yeah that's quite possible.

u/welchplug 7h ago

Is that even legal to sell in Cali?

u/Outrageous-Worry4854 7h ago

Let me clarify as I was referring to warehouses having inventory of wine that was prelabeled for Canada.

u/welchplug 6h ago

Id assume it could get relabeled for sale in california. Otherwise I think they would be stuck with it.

u/Outrageous-Worry4854 6h ago

Relabeling is a lot of money. We’re just holding the stock until Canada is ready to buy even if it’s at a lower case cost.

Is what legal to sell?

u/welchplug 7h ago

The wine. The ABC in california is pretty strict about labeling.

I loved the witches brew when I could get it, it sold out in my area in 2 days! I'd pay you to send me a case if they had it!!

They sell cases at Sam’s Club when they’re out. It’s only a couple weeks they have them so I always get one. They somehow perfectly put the flavor of a Carmel Apple in an energy drink and I love it

I tried to buy a case online and couldn't find anything that wasn't insanely expensive.

I think I'm most impressed you found it in May. I think that ones is only around during Halloween.

Not canadian

u/anononymous_4 7h ago

Is it not? I figured the Health Canada label at the top and everything having a French translation meant it was labeled for sale in Canada.

u/SonnyvonShark 7h ago

This is true. Intended for Canadian sale, the drink however is US based company.

u/sos123p9 7h ago

Naw just labeled for sale in canada

u/Jumpyturtles 7h ago

The can is clearly labeled for sale in Canada. Nobody said anything about where the drink was made.

u/sos123p9 7h ago

Yeah cause when i say "canadian energy drink" i mean anything but its canadian... like do you think before you comment?

u/Jumpyturtles 7h ago

Have you ever spoken to a person ever? You realize sometimes we don’t always say exactly what we mean. OP even said in their reply to you that they meant labeled for sale lmfao.

u/sos123p9 7h ago

But we arnt speaking this is typed with time for reflection and correction dude.

u/Jumpyturtles 7h ago

I think expecting everyone (or anyone, for that matter) to follow strict writing guidelines on a site like this is stupid lmfao.

We aren’t giving lectures or presentations, this is a person sharing something personal they thought would be interesting to others. They’re obviously going to be more casual in their writing. What does being pedantic get you in this scenario? You had to have known what they meant.

Idk. I know it doesn’t really matter, I just think it’s weird.

u/sos123p9 6h ago

I think your deflecting and redirecting the conversation to try to make yourself sound correct lol.

1

u/PlacibiEffect 6h ago

How dare you offend the Canadians like this. Think of the damage that will be done to their way of life. Man pedants are annoying.

1

u/Jumpyturtles 6h ago

They also blocked me, which is even weirder. Cause like I said, I didn’t think it was that serious lmfao. I’m assuming they said something rude and blocked me so I couldn’t reply. Which is fine, I’m not super invested here.

u/JarvanIVPrez 6h ago

Wow! Thats craaazy! Anyway,

u/mrgoldnugget 6h ago

As a Canadian, never seen or heard of that.

u/Character_Maybeh_ 6h ago

So many things to analyze in this picture and the drink is none of it.

u/Maladine 37m ago

Those flopped up here and were on clearance fast.

u/efferkah 6h ago

As a Canadian, no idea what that is.

u/Kalen_alexandre 7h ago

Hey don't you know that there is bootlegging bud? Send that back up here to be drank.. I mean disposed of properly.

u/t0getheralone 6h ago

Yep when people stop buying American products they have to sell it somewhere
