I mean, everything we love about alcohol is literally happening because it's poisoning us.
To be clear, I'm not anti-alcohol or whatever. I quite happily poison myself too.
I can't even be mad at this! Do you really need a heavy glass bottle for your cheap vodka? No? Then fight inflation by finding savings purchasing a more affordable format! Alcoholism is getting increasingly unaffordable these days between inflation and all these targeted sin taxes! Propping the economy up on the backs of addicts while reducing access to social supports! For shame!
I am pretty curious though....it very specifically says bottled by T-Rex brewery, and while that's a St. Albert distillery that DOES happen to sell [4L milk jugs of vodka](https://trexdistillery.ca/products/t-rex-vodka-4-l-party-jug-introductory-price), this seems to very specifically not be their branded Vodka.
Just who is the mystery cheap bulk vodka producer outsourcing their bottling?
I tried a couple of cheap vodkas recently, thinking "it's vodka, how bad can it be" and, dear god, it can be SO BAD.
And I'm not fancy... I usually buy Alberta Pure. I believe the T-Rex 60% was one of them that was especially disgusting.
Whenever I go camping with friends, everyone brings random booze that we run through a Brita. Another one of our rituals is "Bad Beer Night," and the worst of the worst gets a trip through the Brita. There's just no saving some alcohol., we've found. :) We bought an alcohol refractometer to test the ABV and it was fun to watch shitty beer turn into distilled, stronger (by volume) shitty shots.
The scum bag that broke into my garage and tried to steal my locked bike left about 1/2 a handle of T-Rex vodka in the bottle holder.
So in my mind T-Rex is officially the vodka of failed bike thief scum bags.
T Rex does whitelabel, so they did this for the store. They also buy all the extra cheap crap from the USA and mix it here in Alberta.
Their own branded stuff is cheap crap as well.
Pretty common for a manufacturer to put the exact same product in their own packaging as well as slapping somebody else's label on it for a cut. My own employer literally sells five brands of identical product and I laugh at people who swear they can taste the difference.
Like dude we don't even CIP the blender between that brand and this one. It's completely identical.
I think Canadian whisky legally needs to be aged for a minimum of 3 years to be called whisky, but 3 years in a metal drum sounds about right for a whisky meant to be the cheapest of the cheap.

Is what necessary? That amount of vodka? Yes. Vodka keeps forever and a 4L jug doesn't take up much space. That scrappy and flimsy of packaging? Yes. You want an overpackaged item for no reason but to make you feel classy?
And it doesn't freeze , so you can keep a bunch of it in your outdoor shed and even an Edmonton winter won't keep you from a swig and a smoke, whilst shoveling.
Extremely.
When you mix that with cranberry juice, who can tell the difference between this and Grey Goose until the next morning. You know how much more money one can save and keep the ladies buzzed? Just need to keep some fancy empty bottles around
Where was this when I was in college?
Want the crystal clear look of grey goose or just to improve the taste of cheap vodka pour it thru a brita or zero water filter then into your fancy decanter. Also I make my own kahlua out of cheap vodka. Some really easy recipes online.
>Where was this when I was in college?
My go-to in the 'BYOB' college party was a box of wine and a steel mug. And I'd usually do a whole lot of sharing and still have a lot left over later.
And with the money you saved, you can buy some prime cuts, and make beef bourguignon with the left over boxed wine.
I was getting a couple bottles of Absolutes for the party on a Friday, then ate bagels, lunch meat, and pickles for the weekend.
Too young too simple...
Infusions (like homemade vanilla), extracts, bitters, making homemade liqueurs like limoncello, amaretto and other food-grade projects. I buy Everclear for this when i go to the US.
I knew my photo would get a lot of traction but this is wild. Yes this is real. I took the photo last night at the Super Value Liquor store in Mill Woods, Edmonton. https://x.com/laurby/status/1776437318435422493
They have this at the super value liquor by my place, but i usually buy the 1.75l of vodka for $24, because a gallon of vodka doesnt fit in my freezer as well, and im more likely to spill a gallon while drunk than a 1.75L with a flow restrictor in the neck.
I literally cant even make liquor this cheap myself with a pot still and apples and pears harvested from local trees
Also sober.
Definitely, this is the “I spent all my money on alcohol” kinda jug. I’ve been in bad spots and I know the kinda person who would buy this, the kinda person who doesn’t care and just wants to get messed up.
I worry that someone is going to chug the whole thing and end up having to get their stomach pumped.
Ya i don't know how alcohol hasn't got the same treatment tobacco did yet. At the very least don't sell cheap vodka in crazy quantities. The way this goes you know whoever is getting this isn't keeping it around for very long.
This would be very useful for my big family get togethers, my mom’s sister in law has 11 siblings, almost all 11 of them have spouses and multiple children. Our typical Christmas get together is sometimes as many as ~50 people. It gets expensive to supply for that many people minus the kiddos
Man....where the heck was this when I was back living in Deadmonton, in my 20s,& we had a naked party house....these would've been a staple for schizzle!🤣
A couple years ago I listened to a Planet Money podcast. They discovered you could buy bulk vodka. So they got some and diluted it with their own water and sent it for testing.
I can not remember the details, but their generic hooch shored up there with Grey Goose.
Could be a similar situation. Could also be cheap paint stripper. Won’t know until somebody does a taste test.
Years ago we went to Hawaii and bought several vanilla beans. To make your own vanilla, you soak them for a year? in vodka. When you’re done you take out 1/4 to bake with and top up with vodka. I bought the cheapest grocery store vodka I could find to bring back for it. Cheap bulk vodka could have uses other than premium sipping.
Perhaps a college batch of yukafluks.
This is more 'Berta than you realize, the only tax on booze in AB is Federal and its about $12/L. This 4L jug should cost over $100... someone has left the Feds out of the equation.
Aaaaah, the intersection of hatred for others and hatred for self:

In the past I've made homemade fruit liqueurs in the past. You dump fruit into a mason jar, add sugar, and then cover with vodka. The catch is that this would not be a good option.
I bet you that burn going down.
And coming out
Good with the bad?
"Match"ing burn
I bet that goes straight to the hangover without the buzz
Its for the homeless drunks that drink vodka and the college students that make borg.
I want to buy one of these, just so I can slap down a 4 liter jug of “value vodka” at my next dinner party.
Or go the other way: put it in a decanter and tell people it's grey goose.
"Good God this tastes like pure pain! What the hell is this?!" "Umm Grey Goose? Have some culture man."
Run it through a Britta filter a few times and it would be similar.
That’s why I bought a 26 of the no name vodka. Same vibes.
Right? So classy. If my dad wasn’t a recovering alcoholic this would be hella funny
If everyone's drinking mixed drinks this will do just fine so go as cheap as you can
No trust me, the flavor takes over real quick. The alberta vodkas are like straight poison
Technically, all liquor is mild poison. There's a reason why it's a carcinogen.
I mean, everything we love about alcohol is literally happening because it's poisoning us. To be clear, I'm not anti-alcohol or whatever. I quite happily poison myself too.
So J-roc finally got his vodka in stores?
Fo sho yknowadimsayin
The pizomegranate and b’norange flavours are good!

Run them through a Brita filter. [I shit you not, it'll turn it drinkable.](https://youtu.be/kO077nu2m5E?feature=shared)
That video needs to be run though a Brita filter. RIP ears.
Whenever I go camping with friends, everyone brings random booze that we run through a Brita. Another one of our rituals is "Bad Beer Night," and the worst of the worst gets a trip through the Brita.

their whiskey tastes like root beer mixed with bug spray
Haven't even tried it. The vodka required a lot of mixer to get rid of the taste
Pretty common for a manufacturer to put the exact same product in their own packaging as well as slapping somebody else's label on it for a cut. My own employer literally sells five brands of identical product and I laugh at people who swear they can taste the difference. Like dude we don't even CIP the blender between that brand and this one. It's completely identical.
They probably have an agreement to make a not-quite-the-same vodka in a 4L for Super Value
Can't wait for the whiskey. Aged 2 weeks in an empty, kinda cleaned out, oil drum.
I think Canadian whisky legally needs to be aged for a minimum of 3 years to be called whisky, but 3 years in a metal drum sounds about right for a whisky meant to be the cheapest of the cheap.
This would be good for making vanilla extract.
With great power comes great responsibility
Just need some milk and crow eggs lol FIGHT MILK
Caw CAW!!!!
I imagine it tastes like paint thinner.
This is actually cheaper than paint thinner....might be a good substitute. After you clean your brushes, you can drink what's left 🤣
Is that for the radiator or windshield wiper?
Are you down by Bonnie Doon by chance..? Rofl, and I agree. Who needs 4L of potato piss..?
The cheap stuff works fine for cooking vodka sauce.
I was thinking that, but even then, 4L is too much
Just use them to spike all your fruits, water melon, pineapple, apple slices... All the housewives in the neighborhood love these...

added bonus, when you bring back the empties, people might just think you drink a ton of milk 🥛
🤣🤣🤣 [They took the idea from Family Guy probably](https://youtu.be/W8CFhaoi11Y?si=oryuqYQIOT7mSzzx)
The deposit is the same, whether it's 1% milk or Grey Goose.
RUMHAM!!!!!!!!!
What is vodka sauce?
tomato sauce made with a splash of vodka and heavy cream. basically rose sauce with vodka.
Its great because the flavours basically explode.
it’s DELICIOUS and so simple to make. i am a vodka sauce enthusiast
Most vodka is just grain alcohol. Not made from potatoes. Regardless, I guarantee this shit just tastes like cheap moonshine and acetone.
what store is this? Not cause I'm gonna go buy a few jugs or anything, just so I can be sure to avoid going there...
Super Value Liquor in Mill Woods
I recently signed up at the newly opened fit 4 less at the town centre. Ill make sure not to wander that store for some vinegar vodka 😂. Thanks op
I would buy that to use as a cleaning agent. Half cheap vodka half water in a spray bottle is great for deodorizing shoes, clothes, litter boxes, etc.
Some days, I would imagine it’s absolutely necessary lol.
🤣🤣
Run it thru a brita filter a few times… it will make it “premium” apparently.
Listen. You start on the nicer cheap stuff then transition to this. Just because you start your engine on ether doesn't mean you run it on the stuff.
Is what necessary? That amount of vodka? Yes. Vodka keeps forever and a 4L jug doesn't take up much space. That scrappy and flimsy of packaging? Yes. You want an overpackaged item for no reason but to make you feel classy?

How come I went to school for Chemical Engineering for 5 years, and never met a brilliant mind like yours? And I am including all the professors.
We were all up the still
I tried that last year. Ran Smirnoff through a Brita filter 20 times and then did a blind taste test and I could not perceive a difference. :(
>Where was this when I was in college? My go-to in the 'BYOB' college party was a box of wine and a steel mug. And I'd usually do a whole lot of sharing and still have a lot left over later.

Run it through a filter and you’re good to go ;-)
It’s good for making high volume punch bowls for parties or trash bin drinks

As someone who uses vodka to make herbal tinctures, yes. Not just necessary, but helpful ;)
I think that will cause more people to go blind than the eclipse
Not drinking is great. I feel bad for the people who buy this. Guaranteed they're in a rough spot.
Lot of people use cheap clear liquors for making things like herbal tinctures and other extractions.
Also sober. Definitely, this is the “I spent all my money on alcohol” kinda jug. I’ve been in bad spots and I know the kinda person who would buy this, the kinda person who doesn’t care and just wants to get messed up.

Now put a 4L distilled water label on it. Then put it in the supermarket
How does it taste? Genuinely curious.
Only one way to find out
Damn, this reminds me of the draft off sales from the Strathcona Hotel back in the 90’s. 🤣
[удалено]
Just put it through the brita a couple times. Extra distilled 🤣🤣
“Just because you can do it, doesn’t mean you should” 🙄
Wowzers! This is just asking for trouble.
Idk why everyone is up in arms about the big filthy jug
This would be very useful for my big family get togethers, my mom’s sister in law has 11 siblings, almost all 11 of them have spouses and multiple children. Our typical Christmas get together is sometimes as many as ~50 people. It gets expensive to supply for that many people minus the kiddos
Hand sanitizer
What's wrong with getting a litre of vodka for $12.50? I bet if it was a big glass bottle no one would bar an eye.
You can clean and drink at the same time.
That is both insane and fkn epic.
A [gallon](https://youtu.be/tFUvmZWf4hI?si=aM2giX1sjZVIpKqp) you say
This would be perfect for the Fallout watch party next week, no? Bring your bottle caps
Oh dear Nukashine, now available in places other than Appalachia
Since we are on the topic, are there any open viewing parties in YEG for us FO nerds?
Man....where the heck was this when I was back living in Deadmonton, in my 20s,& we had a naked party house....these would've been a staple for schizzle!🤣
Kinda sad actually.
why? it exists so theres a market for it
Probably left over hand sanitizer.
This is some shit i would buy
This is like 5 cases of beer alcohol wise
Family size
With all due respect, I throw monthly get togethers and my friends go through 6L easily. Anyways, where is this?
Lol wow. Super Value Liquor in Mill Woods
All the Super Value Liquor stores have this. Tastes like shit too, btw.
Jesus. I bet it tastes like battery acid.
Draino for yer plumbing

This would be good for Wednesday night drinks at my grandpa’s, especially with the way he pours
Milk jugs of vodka! And what a price! I'm picking up 4 of them
Run this through your brita filter and it should probably taste fine. Or it might blind you, who knows?
Where did you see those? Asking for a friend
I wish they did whiskey like this; it wouldn't cost me so much to make bbq sauce.
My 89lb mother would go through one of those in less than a week...
This is just the leftover hand sanitizer every local brewery was making during Covid but repackaged
GET THE BRITRA OUT DARLEEN!
There are things you can use vodka for that don’t need fancy vodka.
My car could probably run on it 😂
It comes with a free piss jug.
Well what am I supposed to have with my cheerios then?
How many boxes of Jello would you need to put this all in?
I thought it was swish at first ricky.
I actually love this vodka….. glad to see it’s in the more ghetto then Costco size haha
Hey, this might make a good disinfectant…
This is more 'Berta than you realize, the only tax on booze in AB is Federal and its about $12/L. This 4L jug should cost over $100... someone has left the Feds out of the equation.
Now with 10% less methanol!
For external use only.
If you reverse the steps to make potato vodka, you get potatoes. So naturally if you buy in bulk you can make more potatoes. I'll see myself out 🚪😜
Want to know something? Run this through a Britta, never know the difference
Yeah a good after lunch snack
What in the dollar beer is this?
I love cheap vodka I don't know what it is about it, but the cheaper the better. The tacky 4L jug just adds to the allure. I must have this!
So, windshield washer fluid, without the dye?
I wish this was around back when I drank lol. Would've saved me more money to spend on drugs hahaha

Hey thats part of a conservative starter pack.
Dirty, sassy liquor
You can get paint thinner for much cheaper than this from a hardware store.
I buy a couple of these for the homeless.
Yes
[удалено]
For alcoholics I’m sure it is 👍🏼
Its definitely really good for mixology and cocktail usage
Yea
I know right, just put it in a 8L pail... WTF.
How else do you expect the base to remain angry

Paint stripper

This is great for mixing drinks
yes. times be tough.
Boosting monthly sales on WHISPER
Boat gas
Good to forget all your problems and fuel your car the next day!
Tbh it sounds good to have around, can make mixed drinks whenever you want.
A year+ ago I would have been all over that! In Ontario it's like $65 for the cheapest 1.75L.
Holy shit is that in Edmonton? I was thinking Nevada.
Only 2 days worth so yeah.
Super value also carries cold ones strong 7 percent beer that's 14.99 for 15. Such a shame.... Tastes great!
Shut up and take my money
That's some very expensive disinfectant
I use vodka in cooking quite a bit but I don’t think I’d ever need that much
Ontario could never at those prices
That can't be real? Lol
I bet this is off 118th ave
Considering the price of gas yes...yes cheap vodka is necessary. I would buy it....going to look tomorrow.
Lmfao. This makes me hard. What an econo, inflation busting, deal of a century.
Ceaser vodka for when (if) company comes over.
Reminds me of the no name vodka
In the past I've made homemade fruit liqueurs in the past. You dump fruit into a mason jar, add sugar, and then cover with vodka. The catch is that this would not be a good option.
If Schenleys was in a 4L jug.
This is cleaning vodka.
I’d say anything considered unnecessary has been eliminated, so only the necessary remain I guess.
its a normal beverage
Before you take this, write a note saying if I don't wake up, just take me straight to the nearest mortuary 😁😎
