I am still shaking my head on this

Oh well, you can buy children champagne here as well, which is basically just apple juice with bubbles.

What I am wondering about is if they've never heard of alcohol free beer in Japan before? If it looks, tastes and smells like beer but has no alcohol, then that's just an alcohol free beer, no?

But you have to agree it is a bit rough feeding it both physically, through quaint advertising and packaging to under 10 year olds

Kampai!

I wouldn't worry about it tbh, asians are terrible drinkers.

^ which is because Asians lack an enzyme in their liver.

Yea, or like how people of African descent have that missing bone in their foot.

except my statement is true

lol, during the middle ages kids were given the weak 'small beer' to drink because the river water was full of giardia and AIDs and domestic animal shit. people were hardcore back then, not a bunch of flaming pantywaists jacking off to sailor moon porn

You're completely full of shit. There was no such thing as giardia back then you fucking skullcaptain.

but there was such a thing as AIDS, you mile-high monorchid manjuice muncher?

there's no alcohol in it, who cares?

Yes but the advertising is aimed at children, product looks the same etc etc..

Let's sell (look a like Uzi 9mm SMGs - read replicas - same weight etc) to 10 to 15 year olds.

No wait, lets market cigarettes to all 5 year old children through similar advertising

Is it predatory marketing (child molestation?)

I used to enjoy playing with toy guns and pretending to smoke with those sugar cigarettes. Now I'm an adult I neither smoke, nore do I gun people down.

I don't think it's a big deal making fake beer for kids.

Yes it is. And the "nagging factor" that marketing gurus rely upon pretty much means someone's going to buy them for their kids.

And answer your PMs you fag.

It's not a matter of creating future monsters...it's about "hooking them while they're young".

Watch "The Corporation" to learn why "hooking them young" is a major strategy in marketing products and creating brand loyalty in children who eventually grow into future consumers. It's an eye opener.

Is that real? I know Rainier had done some bizarre advertising, but that takes the cake.

In France children drink watered down wine all the time.

I'm aware of the hooking them while they're young strategy, i mean look at Mcdonalds. But I don't really see a massive difference between trying to hook kids on colon clogging fatty burgers and trying to hook them on alcohol free beer.

Very good point phantasmagoria They never hooked me but then I came on their scene too late (thankfully).

Personally now I cannot remember the last Hungry Jacks (I think you might call'em Burger King) or Maccas meal I ate

I would think now I am looking in the order of 10 years+.

Anyone else here not eat that stuff?
