...simply because it looks and sounds like a legitimate brand of liquor.
If you haven't heard, Justin Timberlake is releasing a new brand of tequila, by the name of 901. The triple-distilled tequila is named after the area code of his hometown, Memphis, TN.
The brand is expected to hit stores in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and St. Louis in May (D tell the fellas all about it). The bottle of 901 pictured above will cost you $40.
Entertainers please take note. If you want to release any type of beverage, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, make sure the name and design isn't overtly associated with your name or any of your albums, songs, movies or crew affiliations.
He could've named it "SexyBack," "N'Synquila," "Timberlake Tequila" or some other dumb ass name, but fortunately he didn't take advice from any of the following celebrities...
Nelly's "Pimp Juice" - Really? I know that was the name of your single, but the name is just ignorant and it just sounds nasty. I mean that's like naming a flavor of ice cream, "Whore Cream"....try serving that with cake at a 10yr old's Birthday party.
E-40's "40 Water" - Forget the name, I wanna know who in the hell keeps financing these E-40 ventures? First it was the clothing line BOFF, then "40 Water"?!? Two things...
1.) Who in the hell wants to dress like him?
2.) "vital to a healthy lifestyle" is how 40 Water is described. Riiiight, who doesn't associate E-40 with healthy living? They go hand and hand, he's in great shape.
Donald Trump's "Trump Super Premium Vodka" - So that's the formula? name + adjective + adjective + product = product name. Okay, Doza Super Dope Blog....
Master P's "King of Energy" - Huh? This sounds like a reality show for adrenaline junkies. His ass should've learned from them damn sneakers.
Russell Simmons' "Def Con 3" - Yeah, we get it, "Def Con"..."Def Jam"...try "Def initely not going to sell."
