Why do you pay more than $10 per handle of vodka? I just got a handle of this for $9.50 at WinCo. It is completely neutral with no off-flavors or off-aftertaste. My grandfather, who was a bartender for decades, agrees.

Weak-minded people are very susceptible to the placebo effect.
>more expensive means better taste
>more expensive means less hangover
Shit like that. Pic related is $8.99 a handle when I buy a case.

Most of that bottom shelf shit is pure detritus. Blatantly tastes like rubbing alcohol. If you're a frat boy or some shit that's fine. But spending an extra $4-5 isnt a big deal. You're actually better off getting bottom shelf rum, something like Castillo. It's around $17 for a mag. Tastes waaaay less like shit, and is easily just as mixable.

I'm pissed bros

Went to my corner store right next to the bus stop because it's insanely more convenient than anything else for me. Done this a million times.

>Hey can i get 2 375mL of taaka
he usually sees me and already goes to grab them before I say anything
>Oh...uhhh yea here
>Svedka.jpg
>Uh sorry could I get Taaka though?
>Oh uh we don't have that size it didn't arrive you want the big one?
>No that's fine, can I get 4 of the smaller over there then?
He angrily grabs the bottles and rings me up, says 'ok bye' and turns away without even waiting for receipt to print

Fucker was trying to swindle me into buying svedka which at the corner store is literally 2x the price, even though he's seen me a million times and knows damn well I always get taaka because it's cheap. Fuck that dude, I'm not going there ever again. I'll walk the extra mile so I don't have to give him my business.

Vodka can be made from corn, potatos, anything with starch or sugar. Hell they even make it from milk whey in Wisconsin. Are you so dull that you think there isn't some difference in tastes? I enjoy vodka made from wheat but I sure as hell don't buy grey goose.

I acknowledge that different vodkas taste different, but I also acknowledge that neutral vodkas without nasty off-flavors/aftertaste under $10 per handle exist. Do Taaka and Grey Goose taste different? Absolutely. Does Taaka have an off-flavor of off-aftertaste? Hell no. It's neutral.

same reason beer is abysmally cheap, at least compared to nova scotia or ontario; it's all produced in quebec and gets sold at grocery stores and doesn't have what is essentially an import tariff on it, instead actually being cheaper for us than it ends up being elsewhere

americans actually think Canadian and Export are good beers. what's the cheapest swill to us is a premium export for them, but the inverse is true to us, garbage american vodkas and whiskys are heinously expensive but have an air of quality just for price and lack of other reference
