Jimi Hendrix energy drink  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. crispeater (1457) 5 years ago

Has anyone heard about this new Jimi Hendrix energy drink? http://www.hendrixliquidexperience.com/ What do you think of it, and more importantly what do you think Jimi Hendrix would have thought about his image being used to market a drink? I'm guessing he wouldn't be too happy about it.
The drink company claims to be giving money to charity, but I'm not so sure, especially as the website is very vague about where the money is actually going to go to.
There's more information about it here http://www.slashfood.com/...

looks like it's not available in England yet shame as I'd probably buy it if I saw it. Strange thing to associate Jimi Hendrix with though energy drinks, I think more of LSD and Whiskey. :) I don't think he'd like it but you never know he might have been glad of the royalties if he were still alive.

I think if he was still alive he wouldn't have let them market this drink. There's actually a Jimi Hendrix vodka out too http://www.slashfood.com/... apparently his brother Leon owns shares in it. I don't think anyone has tried marketing Jimi Hendrix LSD yet though :)

This is just another way of exploiting someone who can't stop it and the public.

I think you're right. The marketing blurb on the website is just ridiculous. The sad thing is they'll probably make a fortune selling this drink.

Hmmm, it's a bit tacky. It doesn't really offend me and I suppose if it's for charity then it's ok. I'm not sure if he was alive today that he would really have been that happy about it though. There again I guess if he was still alive they wouldn't be doing it. I couldn't see what flavour it was or what the ingredients were (unless I just missed it) but it's unlikely I would drink it anyway. All the energy drinks I've tasted so far have been pretty unpleasant!


myLot reputation of 99/100. crispeater (1457)  5 years ago

Apparently it's "an infusion of mixed berries".

I'm not so sure the money will go to charity. They website is very vague about where the money is going, and apparently the owner of the drink company has been involved in some illegal activity in the past, although I'm not sure exactly what he did.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3189)  5 years ago

I love the way they put these things - "an infusion". So it's mixed berry flavour then! Yes I noticed there was one or two people questioning the integrity of the person/people behind this product. I suspect it probably won't be a big seller anyway.

Well I don't think this money is for charity. And this is only a way to exploit the name of a great artist like Jimi Hendrix, and it is a shame what some people can do to make money these days.

Your damn right! that´s the right answer.

Sorry, this is just another example for in what kind of stupid & dull world we are living in, ridiculous. I would lock up these greedy people who are still making money with the Hendrix name into a dark cell leting them think about what sh*t they a trying to market to the people. Who do they think we are, idots. I don´t even buy energy drinks.


myLot reputation of 99/100. crispeater (1457)  5 years ago

Ever since Jimi's half sister acquired the rights to market his music, his name has been all over crappy products like this.


myLot reputation of 99/100. crispeater (1457)  5 years ago

I meant to say 'adoptive sister', not 'half sister'.
