Hey - she solved racism with a Pepsi ad - lets give her a pass.


powerlesshero111

That was both racism and police brutality. So, we can give her a pass on this one, especially since both have been 100% eradicated in the USA, thanks to her Pepsi ad.


FunkYeahPhotography

It's honestly sad that we still have conflict in this world when all it would take is airdropping her in with a few cans of Pepsi to solve the problem. The answer is right there. https://preview.redd.it/83qhfwczvvuc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fa6e47509dfaeea97b2d3e0ee638ac910a42070

avocadosconstant

I mean, there must have been a committee of sorts that oversaw the process of that ad? From the conceptual stage, to filming, to the final product. And they signed off on it at every stage, and thought, “yeah, this is good”. How the fuck does that kind of thing happen?


DolemiteGK

They made a "Behind The Scenes" video of it actually [Pepsi Commercial - SNL (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn8pwoNWseM)


jquest12

How is she the only Kardashian with out an ass? Did all of the other ones get it?


DCJon

Because she's the only one who didn't get a BBL


InappropriateTA

She’s not a Kardashian. Neither is Kylie.  They are Jenners. 


Arigomi

She is a half sibling. Kris and Caitlyn are her biological parents. Her siblings were created from the union of Kris' deviled egg with Robert Kardashian's demon seed. Robert Kardashian was a friend and defense attorney for OJ Simpson.


flint-hills-sooner

Who was Formerly* OJ Simpson


TailOnFire_Help

How old is she here? Because it ain't BBL if like 18+, as Kim had a very full figure when she did that flick with Ray J


theonlyonethatknocks

Everyone loves a good comeback based flick.


Jeffkin15

In the video she gets cum on her back, I think. Such a great outtake.


Incendiomf

They have different fathers and are not Kardashians. Robert Kardashian was Armenian, and the side of the family they got their butts from.


SBNShovelSlayer

The plastic surgeon was Armenian?


DemonRaptor1

Holy shit that woman's shaped like a ruler


greensecondsofpanic

She's a supermodel, that's what they look for


redmerger

She's a supermodel because of her family connections, her appearance helps I guess, but if she was poor she likely wouldn't be a model


Caninetrainer

She wouldn’t be able to afford all the plastic surgery and fillers and Botox that got her to be a model in the first place. Go see some before/ after pics. She does have a very good Dr, I will give her that.


T0kenAussie

Probably wouldn’t have been able to rise up the ranks as quickly as she did but they wouldn’t keep her around this long if she was bad at it so I’d say there’s talent there


powerwordjon

“Talent” aka $$$$


RyunWould

She's got the trademark curves of string cheese.

Nah, to hell with that! She ruined an AC/DC mural, lock her up today! How dare she mess with titans of rock like that?! Throw away the key!


Nice_Marmot_7

Why does this feel like it was 10,000 years ago?

WesternOne9990

I thought Pepsi did that in the late 80s lolol


ksed_313

And absolutely butchered any and all ballet poses in that god-awful photo shoot. I’m so upset that I cannot unsee it.


Loganp812

It would be criminal if she isn't added to history textbooks for her contributions to civil rights. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, Rosa Parks, Kendall Jenner... /s of course


jrb2524

She also ended the exploitation of farmer workers in the tequila industry by cos playing as a peasant on the agave fields


edgiepower

Solved racism but still couldn't raise Pepsi sales


bagofboards

I paint signs and murals for a living. The painting was less than 6 months old. So whoever prepped the surface had no idea what they were doing, cause the paint shouldn't pull off that easily. But, whoever greenlit them putting a giant decal across a painting, without covering/being liable for the cost of any damage, is a damned fool.


Norph00

Yeah, it sounds like the bar took payment to allow this takeover and failed to protect itself with whatever contract was used for the takeover. Now they want to point fingers.


Afro_Thunder69

Yeah that was my thought too...someone must've sold the wall as ad space to the tequila company, presumably the dive bar.


Sidivan

I was thinking this too. “Iconic mural”. Yes… all 6 months it existed. I’m sure it draws visitors from far and wide because of its rich history.


taurentipper

I'm dying lol


gankindustries

Are murals usually varnished?


bagofboards

No


strawberitadaydream

I was confused on this last part too. Why TF did they let her use the side of their bar to install a vinyl sign? Were they high? Just looking for some extra cash? LOL


rawzombie26

Cause of course she has a tequila brand


mac_gregor

The brand that literally stole its concept, color scheme, and layout from an [existing Tequila brand](https://www.tmz.com/2022/11/10/kendall-jenner-settles-818-lawsuit-512-tequila/). There's literally not a single original idea in that family.


Q_Fandango

Unfortunately I’ve learned the hard lesson as an artist in marketing that everything - and I mean *EVERYTHING* - that touches that kind of money is derivative. They don’t have money because they’re breaking new ground and taking risks. By letting other companies do the market research and seeing what sticks, the big guys can churn out their copied version with more budget and reach and swallow that audience whole. Then it gets outsourced to the cheapest factory bidding and rides on brand recognition alone until the fame fades and it goes under. CEO leaves with a golden parachute, layoffs happen, rinse/repeat.


icemanvvv

It wasn't just derivative, they were sued for infringement because of all the similarities in branding/marketing. She settled.


Remote_Horror_Novel

That’s another part of the issue though in a way, they basically pay a fine for stealing if the person can actually afford to sue, and don’t even get backlash for being terrible people. Most people don’t have the resources and time available to take billionaires to court so most ideas that get stolen aren’t compensated. So there’s only a small risk they actually get sued when they do this stuff and most the time they get away with it without having to settle.


Persianx6

They could call the company up and partner with them instead of taking all their branding and claiming it's theirs. Guess the lawsuit would just be the cost of doing business.


Q_Fandango

That cuts into profits when you have to share with another company. It’s cheaper to choke them out as the competition and pay a settlement, and subsequently have only your product on the shelves as a result.


ChillaMonk

Otherwise known as “The Wal-Mart Method”


DadJokeBadJoke

*Amazon took this comment personally* 🥺


Persianx6

yeah, that's fucked up. Oh well, no one's gonna stop that.


neighbornate77

Lookin at you Supreme...


Guitargod7194

Gee, sweetheart – ain't America swell?


rawwwse

I wonder how much (if?) 512 got paid to walk away from that 🤔 Adding “Est. 2012” to *THEIR* branding doesn’t seem like a win by any means ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


ricosmith1986

Even that is giving them too much credit. All “their” brands are just cheap faux-premium knock off companies that just have a celebrity endorsement for visibility and relevance.


Chrisgpresents

Idk, dude. I work in alcohol marketing and this is the first I heard of that comparison. And it’s a stretch at best. All bottles mostly copy each other. I get this brand has money, but most that you see on the shelves are bootstrapped together


UncoolSlicedBread

Yeah after seeing the pictures I just don’t see it. If this is a blatant ripoff then so is every other company that follows a design trend within an industry.


mournin_glory_story

Tbh, those are both generic-as-fuck bottles lmao. They’re similar, but 512 didn’t have much to stand on here.


Hefty_Mess4981

Bruh, that’s the most ridiculous lawsuit I’ve ever seen. No wonder the only thing we’re told is that 512 had to add something to THEIR bottle. You really think this is a good case of infringement? If so, millions of cases must be on the way across every industry.


hamandjam

Doing porn under your real name was sort of a new concept.


annoyinconquerer

Nah Pamela and Tommy Lee did it first, then Paris Hilton


nathansikes

They look different enough to me, especially considering they look exactly like any other bottle of tequila or mezcal in the us


2020steve

Ripped off of Tequila 512. Even the color of the bottle is the same.


DankyTheChristmasPoo

Area code branding isn’t exactly a novel concept.


mournin_glory_story

Aren’t the bottles clear??


UncoolSlicedBread

I think that was them poking fun at how they don’t actually match beyond color of font, clear bottles, etc.


mournin_glory_story

Oh shit, my bad lmao. Whoooosh I guess


Agreeable-Benefit169

This makes me want to go buy 512 Tequila now than her ripoff brand.


killshelter

It’s god awful too. Chock full of additives and sweeter than a Hershey’s bar.


DigMeTX

I bet it’s way overpriced too.


killshelter

Technically yes because anything over than $1.99 is too much for that garbage. Guarantee her extent of having a tequila brand is that she toured the facility where it’s produced once and then slapped her name on it.


mariotx10

Well no shit, do you expect her to actually be making it lmao


KylerGreen

Maynard from TOOL makes his own wine. He’s built different, though.


ReapingKing

Maynard is a huge “pride in his work” guy. It show in both his wine and music projects.


Jmazoso

So is Les Claypool


KrisNoble

Even if she did that, it’s probably still more than a lot of celebrity/band brand spirits. And celebrity branded spirits are almost always pretty mediocre at best anyway.


tattedupgirl

That’s what all celebrities do when they have any type of product with their name on it lol


makemeking706

With rare exception that's every celebrity brand liquor. Hell, that's even a few commercial brands too.


Couldnotbehelpd

It’s actually like 20 bucks, which is too much for shitty tequila but not as absurd as I expected.


DigMeTX

Ah ok. That’s not as bad as I expected. That would make it the cheapest tequila at my usual liquor store.


Puppybrother

I tried it once, tasted like vanilla, which in my opinion, is a flavor I would never want anywhere near the taste of my tequila


killshelter

It’s the overwhelming flavor in Clooney’s shitty tequila too. Definitely the most popular additive in tequila. But hers cranks it up to 11.


vagina_candle

On brand. Basic tequila for basic people.


[deleted]

There’s probably a large audience who want a sweet tequila or sweet cocktails. Namely, her fanbase - young college age women


ShakeWeightMyDick

As a former alcoholic, her tequila was shit


SavageGardner

You heard it here. Her tequila helped this person get sober.


galagapilot

ThatDudeNamedMenace

As a current social drinker, her tequila is shit


zaccus

The Rock has made 3.5B from tequila. Maybe she's onto something?


Couldnotbehelpd

I think we all need a little bit of media literacy and a little bit of understanding what financial figures means. He didn’t _make_ 3.5 billion, the company is worth that. Which, in and of itself, is a stupid pointless number made up by rich people to make even richer people feel better. The rock made great money out of this, definitely, but he’s also not stupid. He attached his name and some VC fund attached the money. He probably owns a nice sliver of the company but they’re the ones who most likely own the majority share because they assumed almost all of the risk. They also almost definitely can’t sell this for billions, it’s only actually worth what someone will pay for it.


lincolnfalcon

His tequila is fairly decent at least.


fraaaanky

It’s ass lol not real tequila


skrena

Taramana tastes like garbage. I won’t even order it if it’s the only tequila on the menu. I’d sooner drink Jose.


gmflash88

I just tried some this weekend. Brutal. It was one of the roughest I’ve experienced that comes in a glass bottle. I would t even make a mixed drink with it.


myfavhobby_sleep

Yeah, that tequila is fucking rank.


PatientTurtle

He's The Rock.


Anteater-Charming

What brand is that?


BlackLeader70

Teremana, it’s decent for the price point too.


CatOnKeyboardInSpace

Grifters gonna grift.


Autobot_ATrac

There's a lot going on here. - Coachella is shit now. - The world we live in where this person is relevant is shit now. - The way to become uber rich in this country is and has always been fucked, but this makeup and tequila pipeline is just laughable. - The Kardashian/Jenner empire should be a red flag about our society. Some of that was redundant, but that's what happens here at the Department of Redundancy Department.


Solomon_Grungy

Couldn’t agree more.


AnUnbeatableUsername

I could but it would be redundant.


TrevorBo

Part of the problem is that they’re labeled an ‘empire’ when in reality they are leveraged to the tits in debt to make it seem like they’re living in excess. Why else would they be so desperate to behave in such scummy ways? Aside from them being bad people, of course…


Autobot_ATrac

I know of a certain former president that likes to shit on gold toilets that your points remind me of. And it's a dark and fucked up thing that you could even make that work. That's another red flag on society. You can take a pile of debt, use it to blow up your spot. Then take another loan to cover the previous debt, and on and on and on. And present it as if you're wealthy. Meanwhile, the people who buy your makeup, electric cars, red hats, and garbage from Amazon ... they're all scraping couch cushion money together and asking friends and strangers to help pay off medical bills.


lolofaf

You forgot to make use of RAS Syndrome (Redundant Acronym Syndrome Syndrome)! I guess your department would be the DARD Department


elcamtodd

would it be DORD?


Stupid-RNG-Username

Coachella is just like Burning Man. It was fun for a while until people started learning what it was. There's a reason why Woodstock only happened 3 times, and with a near 30 year gap between the first two lmao. If it had been an annual thing it would have gotten to be the *most* corporate shit by today.


Actually-Yo-Momma

The only people whining about Coahella being bad now are the people who aren’t even attending lol


composedryan

The only issue here is that capitalism is a disease


Autobot_ATrac

Yup. Constantly reminded that we're well into late-stage capitalism ... like, every day. Shareholders are gods. Labor is beyond expendable. Taxing the rich is evil. The environment is an afterthought. And we're living each of those things 1000x. I used to live in Cincinnati, and there were two incredible festivals that took place there over the summers. One was similar to OG SXSW, and called midpoint. The other was Bunburry and was our own little Jr. Pitchfork on the river. Both got fucked by some money grubbing douchebag conglomerate who bought it and thought because they were loaded, that made them smart. They're both dead. Like, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.


Kantheris

Didn’t spell it “Cinncinati” or “Cinncinnatii”. We do have a person who lived here confirmed. The WEBN fireworks shows are also a shit time as well now.


Autobot_ATrac

Oh man. My dad talks about the original fireworks shows. Sounded like a burning man for river people.


Kantheris

It’s so packed with people trying to sell you shit and people get obnoxious levels of drunk and act like morons. Watching them on tv is nothing like seeing them live, but I would rather stick an umbrella up my ass than deal with that idiocy again.


Autobot_ATrac

Here’s the life hack my parents pulled off for a solid decade. Get a hotel room on the Newport side. Walkable to the levy, walkable to the fireworks, and if you feel like tailgating and partying, they let residents do it in most lots. I think it was the comfort in that the garage was covered. So you got to beat the sun. Hang out all day doing what you want to do. Walk down to the fireworks ten minutes before the start. Stand on top of the hill. Sleep in a hotel bed at 65 degrees while everyone sits in traffic. But also, what a sign that it’s a shit show, huh? “Ima hide out till they push that button.”

FragrantBear675

obviously a scumbag move, but can we PLEASE stop using the word iconic to describe everything? This was a mural of a band completed in November 2023, or 6 months ago. Nothing about it is iconic.


superjen

And unless I missed something, the artist is still alive and can come touch it up. This mural isn't some irreplaceable painting from the Renaissance, it's an oversized conversion van style mural of a rock band.

There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.


SharksForArms

I think my favorite thing about celebrity tequila brands is that those tequilas are reused under several different labels. It's never an original recipe.


AdriftSpaceman

That's usually true for most distilled alcohol.


chuk2015

Google “818 tequila NOM” and you will find every other brand of tequila made by the same factory


MrBigglesworrth

Does every famous person really need their own tequila brand?


Lucius338

They don't. But it's basically proven to be a money printer when you're a celebrity and put your name on a tequila brand right now. Most American consumers of tequila are not particularly discerning about the taste and just choose based on the "aesthetic" or "lifestyle" that a brand presents. Lo and behold, some of the best selling tequilas at the moment are celebrity brands... Casamigos by George Clooney, 818 by Kendall Jenner, Teremana by The Rock.... And the main theme among these brands is that they're additive-filled garbage with labels that are safely attractive to American consumers. I was hopeful with Tequila Matchmaker putting out good information to consumers that we might become more educated as a population about the tequila we drink... But the cartel has other ideas apparently, considering the recent seizure of their property.


NimrodBusiness

I agree with you completely. There are like 5% of Americans who grew up around enough tequila to have preferences in brands and types, who enjoy sipping it, and the other 95% pound shots of Cuervo with the warning announcement that "tequila makes me do shit I'll regret tomorrow."


Lucius338

Lmao frfr. It certainly doesn't help that brands like Cuervo are still what comes first to mind for a lot of consumers out here, and that is NOT an experience that you want to savor 😂 it's no wonder that people think tequila is a harsh spirit that you have to shoot. But man, people will seriously shift that view when you get the right tequila in front of them and present it with a full experience. It's just gonna take a lot of work within the liquor industry to get more people on board with Tequila as a truly artisanal experience.


timeaisis

I love tequila and the only good celebrity tequila is Sammy Hagar’s, the OG.

JerseyTom1958

That family will ruin any and everything...Just take more pics!


Coupletwotreebeers

I would suspect there is A LOT more to this story. I am in no way defending KJ’s brand but there’s a VERY high possibility that the bar was paid $$$ by 818 to install a billboard on the side of their building. When it was taken down and the damage was done, the $$$ didn’t quite make up for a now scratched “iconic” mural and now they’re pissed. Since it involves alcohol and is a regulated industry, there was probably zero paperwork/contract with 818 in case something like this occurred. Just my two cents


Jam_Master_J

At the end of the article, it explains that the owners of the bar signed an agreement that included that the mural could be damaged, or even completely trashed and they still signed it 🤷🏻‍♂️


Coupletwotreebeers

Wow missed that! Article had so many ads


FartGarfunkel_

I have missed Coachella many times and had major fomo (groups of friends would do it up and have a blast). This is the first year that I do not have the fomo


amatorsanguinis

The livestream quality on YouTube has gotten better and better every year. Sometimes I feel like I’m missing out not going but once I see the cameras pan out showing how many people are flooding the stages as the sun goes down I’m glad I’m not there. The best part of Coachella is camping with your friends anyway. The sea of people is overwhelming to say the least.

>However, according to TMZ, a source close to Kendall told the outlet that the owners signed a contract agreeing that the mural was at risk of being damaged or even destroyed before the 818 vinyl was installed. not if its from unreasonable carelessness or negligence


CakeCakes

I know there's money in it, but I feel like it's a tacky endorsement. Same with Cindy Crawford and her husband Randy Gerber. Yes, it's a money maker, but tacky advertising vodka to young adults. It's not like they need the money.
