The people of the Southern Comfort drinks company want us to call their drink 'SoCo' and i for one flatly refuse to do so.

There is an advert at the cinemas (here in the UK) depicting would-be trendy youngsters going 'I'll have a SoCo' and 'SoCo for me please' and the like. It's the most transparent and laughable attempt imaginable by a brand to suddenly appear down with the kids.

I dunno, is this is just a UK thing? Perhaps the drink is known as that already the world over and we're late to catch up or something.

That ad features an incredibly irksome and ropey big beat tune, upping the annoyance factor even more.

― Neil S, Thursday, 26 April 2007 12:56 (eighteen years ago)

Imagine trying to buy a round if this took off:

"I'll have a SoCo, a JackDan, a JackDanAnCo, two pints of CarlBlaLa, a pint of LonPri... and a small glass of WiWi"

― ledge, Thursday, 26 April 2007 12:58 (eighteen years ago)

Sometimes I am embarrassed to be a marketer.

You can clearly see the wheels turning here. "What do Jack Daniels have that we don't." "They have a nickname! People call it Jack!" "HALLELUJAH"

― Groke, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:01 (eighteen years ago)

What do Jack Daniels have that we don't? Oh, a NICE TASTE! Southern Comfort is nasty sicky sweet stuff. The kind of thing kids mix with Dr. Pepper before they know better.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:02 (eighteen years ago)

Soooo irritating...

Makes me puke nearly as much as the drink.

― Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:03 (eighteen years ago)

i can only imagine what's next!

"yes, barkeep, i shall have a 'jack' and 'coke'"

you'd be laughed out of the club!

― ghost rider, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:04 (eighteen years ago)

I've seen that advert, it's revolting!

I find it mind boggling how many ads simply feature images of the company's perfect customer consuming in the most shit-eating way. Do you remember that ad for Nivea For Men (I think) where two "lads" sit around some luxury apartment watching adverts on a top of the range TV. Your typical inoffensive Nivea montage ad comes on and it cuts to one of these ponces going "What is this? What a rubbish advert!" and the other guy agreeing with him and at the end, the other guy goes "Yeah, but it's good innit?". How is that supposed to sell me fucking male grooming products?

do they really?!

― lex pretend, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:14 (eighteen years ago)

bit like that ad where the black dude goes "Hey! I'll have a babysham!"

6months later, oob!

― Mark G, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:17 (eighteen years ago)

Doh. "JD" not "Jack" - dunno what *I* was thinking. Anyway I still think that was the train of thought. Think thought thought think thunk.

― Groke, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:22 (eighteen years ago)

"soco" is not a new thing by any stretch, guys

― gff, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:33 (eighteen years ago)

yeah people do call it 'jack' though i think you're right. there's a bit in BEAUTIFUL GIRLS where one of the guys goes '...jack and coke' and it feels natural enough. also there's 'jack pepsi' that 'song' by TAD. i always i assumed that meant 'jack pepsi' was a common drink in the states.

post of the day from LEDGE there i think we can agree.

― pisces, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

my god do british people actually walk up to bartenders and order a 'jack daniels and coca-cola'?

AND THEN YOU DON'T EVEN TIP THEM???

― ghost rider, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:47 (eighteen years ago)

i can remember splitting a fifth of soco with my best friend jon when we were 19 and getting violently ill the next day. that gave birth to the "southern uncomfortable" which was black coffee and an egg and cheese croissant from mcdonalds. it was all either of us could keep down.

i recently had a shot of it with some rose's lime, it wasn't bad. the lime juice really cut the icky sweetness.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:49 (eighteen years ago)

it's a waste of rose's lime to not drink it with gin tho

― ghost rider, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

Dude, no, rose's lime - made to be mixed with RUM and turned into GROG.

"JD" if ordered straight, "jack and coke" if mixed.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:55 (eighteen years ago)

Soco was my essay-writing drink. I had a large bottle sitting on my desk that lasted forever. If that had been a bottle of Jack or Beam, my grades might have suffered more.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 26 April 2007 14:04 (eighteen years ago)

there really isn't an excuse for southern comfort.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 26 April 2007 14:05 (eighteen years ago)

yeah guys, SoCo has been a nickname for Southern Comfort forever. :/ It's way too sweet for me.

― jessie monster, Thursday, 26 April 2007 14:06 (eighteen years ago)

I can understand the company wanting to standardise branding globally, but trying to standardise nicknames globally is madness!

― Groke, Thursday, 26 April 2007 14:08 (eighteen years ago)

SoCo tastes like my mental image of a perfect blend of Nutrasweet and diseases prostitute ass.

JD'n'Coke.

I can see how, in some places "SoCo" is alright, but the accents of the people in the advert are so horrible and upper-class English "I'll have a SoCo" - it makes you want to PUNCH!

― the next grozart, Thursday, 26 April 2007 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

I've never heard 'SoCo' or "JD" before. JD makes me think "juvenille deliquent"

― pretzel walrus, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

I though SoCo was a neighborhood...?

But seriously, fussing about the name and the marketing is silly. You're missing the big picture here, ppl. Which is that you should ignore SoCo, never order it, never drink it, and never think about it again. It is a Thing That Should Not Be.

― kenan, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

Yes I saw one of these billboards recently and thought they were trying to associate their drink with the neighborhood. which is even lamer.

Southern Comfort is a crap drink.

SoCo is a crap name for a crap drink.

I don't drink said crap drink - and don't associate with people that do - so it's never really been a problem.

I imagine 98% of the people here feel the same. So chill Win-ston! Y'all neva be a fishaman.

When I lived in the States there was a guy I occasionally found myself in the company who clearly thought SoCo was what the cool kids called it and did so himself. I dropped him off the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

― Uptoeleven, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

for years and years i couldn't even smell soco without gagging due to that teenaged disaster mentioned upthread but a regular at my local bought me and some lesbians shots of soco and lime and it wasn't nearly as disgusting as i remember. it's not something i would ever order but it wasn't as bad as a car bomb or anything.

Yeah umm Maccy D's sounds to me like one of those things that get said when middle-aged people pretend to rap, all 1984-style.

"Soco" seems pretty common in my experience of the US, even despite there being no earthly reason people should be drinking the stuff.

Yeah umm Maccy D's sounds to me like one of those things that get said when middle-aged people pretend to rap, all 1984-style.

Are the Americans on this thread being disingenuous in not mentioning that there was a pretty popular McDonald's commercial from about 15 years ago that coined the term "Mickey D's," which some people then went about using in everyday speech (although mostly in an ironic sense)?

― jaymc, Thursday, 26 April 2007 16:14 (eighteen years ago)

I think there is a SoCo one of those in the UK. In my day we had to make do with spirits and mixers, Soco and lemonade being fairly popular. (Alcopops just started to come in when I was sixteen and had been drinking Guinness and ale for 4 years)

I drank Southern Comfort as a kid until they invented alcopops, but have never heard it called SoCo.

[girls laughing in background] SoCo? SoCo. hahahahah SoCo! SoooCo. SOCO".

SoCo is an abomination of a nickname; it's giving the drink far too much credit. The "You will call it SoCo like the arrogant Americans" push has been going on a while. At various festivals last year, there was a "SoCo Tent". With quite good music! And cocktails involving Southern Comfort. It took me a while to catch on to what SoCo was. I thought it was some cool drink I hadn't heard of and then I realised. Perhaps this is their plan - to trick people into ordering it.

I generally get a funny taste in my mouth when I hear abbreviations for drinks, for some reason. When you use them in ordering it reminds me of teenagers trying to look older and more confident than they are. "A pint of Star please". Yeach.

i really think that's giving the beverage a cultural cache that it has not earned.

See, this proves the point I was making in some thread or other about how some people misprounounce cache as cachet.

Add kool-aid powder (sweetened), southern comfort and coke to an ice-filled hurricane glass. Stir well, and serve.

yeah morley, read that article. It's about how people started to forget that it was never real.

The "liquid panty" image eventually ended up in the editorial offices of Bitch, a San Francisco-based fringe feminist magazine. Bitch, which bills itself as the "Feminist Response to Pop Culture," published the image in its June issue along with Lynch's e-mail, address, and fax number. That set off a torrent of foul-mouthed missives from dozens of women across the country.

I never thought I'd say this, but... poor liquor company!

To be honest, far more irritating than the "SoCo" push is the fucking ongoing campaign for Jack Daniels, involving homely wank Tube posters (and, in the past, cinema adverts) going on about how this is just the way things we do things in Tennessee and nature takes its time and lets all tip our hat to fucking Mr Jack and how no one really knows why Mr Jack named his whiskey "Old No. 7"; all the stories are just conjecture and I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING MR JACK AND WITH THIS PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT MYTHOLOGISING MAKES ME DOUBT HE EVER EXISTED AND CERTAINLY HAS MADE ME RESOLVE TO NEVER BY YOUR STUPID DRINK AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE.

Merle Haggard on DICKEL v. JACK DANIOLS:

"I think George Dickel is absolutely the best Tennessee mash whiskey. It's my understanding that Jack Daniel's was an attempt to try to take the recipe of George Dickel to a commercial state of reproducing it. Whereas they couldn't do that with George Dickel, because in order to make it the way they make it, they would have had to repeat too many different formulas. It would have been impossible. They did certain things at certain temperatures in a certain kind of water. So I went down there and looked at their distilleries and saw what they were doing, saw the difference between that and Jack Daniel's, and I couldn't believe it. You take George Dickel and you pour it over ice and hold it up to the light, and it won't separate. But if you take Jack Daniel's and do that, hold it up to the light, you'll notice that the corn oil starts separating from the whiskey, because it hasn't been married at the correct temperature. When you go down and have this education thrown upon you, and then you drink it—everybody got drunk when we was taking pictures. It was about 20 girls and about 20 guys, and we're all down in this creek drunk with two fists of George Dickel apiece, and we all stayed over and had breakfast together, and not a one of us had a hangover."

Also I am drinking Harpoon, not SoCo, because Harpoon is tasty and SoCo tastes like liquid shit.

harpoon winter warmer = my favorite beer of all time.
there was a time when i first started living by myself when the only drinkware i owned was harpoon pint glasses.
i have been in the harpoon newsletter.
