Trump Vodka
Trump licensed his name to a well-known Dutch-distilled Vodka distillery in 2006, and then he enlisted the design legend Milton Glaser to design the packaging.
Glaser tells us he also developed the gilded bottle to seem more “appealing to the lowest level of human activity, which is envy and status.”
Priced at $30, it saw a year of decent sales right before tanking in 2008, which led to the closure of the original distillery.
Moreover, Trump Vodka still has a license in Israel, where it also found a foothold in the Kosher spirits market, which is popular for Passover, as Bloomberg showed.
However, while Trump once promised to pay its profits to charity, he’s still expected to do so.
Trump energy drink
This one is also produced in Israel, and even if the Trump energy drink doesn’t seem too buyable in the United States, you still see a bunch of empty cans popping up on eBay every now and then.
What at first seems like a somewhat strange brand synergy between a 70-year-old man and a carbonated taurine bomb could ultimately explain a lot of those late-night tweets.
Moreover, Trump’s natural spring water might have been a much safer bet.
