An alcoholic drink that sold out in a Glasgow fortnight, never would I have imagined such a possibility.

[@hansiesma16]

Is a Glasgow fortnight longer or shorter than a fortnight?😃

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

​@@hansiesma16It's the same length but has a higher rate of alcohol consumption.

[@hansiesma16]

@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 aha I thought so

[@AdamBechtol]

:p

[@Henry-cf4oo]

The wincing after tasting had me in stitches.

[@ar50000]

It wasn't properly explained why there was major wincing. Was it too alcoholic, in which case they didn't even advise him to make it a bit softer. Or did they hate the overall taste?

[@EuanCraft]

@@ar50000 Touker said it was way too strong, and Steven said it tastes really good. It's only 15% vol., but I guess too much when they're not eating etc

[@HistoryonYouTube]

Very generous offer from Deborah, I calculated it at 35%,so I think Paul did really well.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

@@James-sr4es Of course, I would not know, I have never run a company in my life but we do talk about it down the dole office. You are just another pathetic frustrated troll aren't you?

Damn you get your calculator out bro?

[@logitech2010100]

Sara is the type of person will be muching through a packet of ready salted crisps and then when you tell her its vegan she goes "i thought it tasted a bit funny"

[@TboneSteak1992]

I don't think she has a problem with vegan food.

[@annaagapova3583]

What does it even supposed to mean?

[@pdan4]

Same

[@zackhayum]

The deal has since fallen through and didnt go ahead

[@ouroborostechnologies696]

Love how Deborah waited til they were all out to reveal she'd been talking to a drinks business about such a product.

[@andersonaldo1340]

I live in Glasgow and have never seen or heard of this

[@adamrandles4055]

Already drank probably

[@anubusx]

Same here.

[@tidnid1869]

They sell it in some of the trendier bars

[@gwheregwhizz]

Make your own. One part Alpro, one part Buckfast and one part Bartoline Meths.

[@jack-a-lopium]

Jesus... lol

[@originalunoriginal4055]

That's one way to kick start your Monday mornings, especially when you're living in a Scottish doom and gloomy winter!

[@vonder7]

😂

[@devanman7920]

It will be a big hit at the douchey hipster pubs.

[@walksinrain]

I've tried this. It's always sold out in my local and it's so niiiice

[@annaagapova3583]

So you tell they aren't able to have a stable supply line?

[@dickturpin1964]

They already have a vegan cocktail in Scotland. It is called Buckfast.

[@mad-cyantist3159]

Wigies love their alcohol. that %15 is like %5 to them

[@nukaghoula]

Isn't that more of a caffeinated wine? Very different to these creamy/milky style drinks

[@kieranoberhansli1054]

I was thinking, ew, who would want that on a night out, then I think I do all sorts of shots etc if I’m out properly. So makes sense

[@Dic-yy1rj]

The deal wasn’t signed off air

[@wingscancer]

DONT TELL THE FURRIES ABOUT THIS DRINK

[@R103G]

Too late. I've heard of it. Ama share it to my people 👀

[@wingscancer]

@@R103G ill try get some for FurDu lol

[@cosy1914]

Im not sure about the name "Panther Milk" if you are appealing to vegans. Sounds a bit off putting to me. Add to that the fact that panthers are fully carnivorous. "Panda Milk" would have been better i reckon ;) But then ive never seen a drunken Panda.

[@clarkpatient7950]

Agreed!!

[@billymabum3514]

Their morals go straight out the window when it’s alcohol being pitched

Of course make the dragons tipsy with your alcohol good strategy

Very strange to see a deal but no handshake 🤝 😂

I think it was filmed during the covid pandemic

[@Ferrarilover458]

25% just say yes

[@kay-fg8zy]

The deal fell - good! Alcohol hasn’t done any good

[@donpepsi]

Sell them in costco

[@jack-a-lopium]

Are 'influencers' even allowed to sell alcohol? I thought our lords and masters, at least at KZbin, are pretty clear on alcohol... they don't like it. I guess cos the demographic is like 13-17. It's not even something I personally 'like', but those're the rules.

[@nickforde8036]

Influencers generally advertise alcohol on Instagram and Facebook.

[@jack-a-lopium]

@@nickforde8036 ahh okay, thanks

[@nickforde8036]

[@MetteC5]

The stench of stereotypes in the comments is nauseating.

[@mrsillywalk]

The site says "Sold out" on most bottles, but it is very overpriced at £26 for 70 CL. When the novelty goes and Baileys much cheaper, this will slump.

[@Adrian-lc6jq]

A lot of vegan options cost more than their real alternatives. Don't give business advice again.

[@goodquestion8064]

Your forgetting Bailey isn’t vegan

[@Adrian-lc6jq]

@@goodquestion8064 I never said Bailey was vegan, horrible comprehension skills, don't ever try and start a business with that brain

[@adamrandles4055]

Most serious vegans are health concious and don’t really drink alcohol, so it’s a tough one.

[@coldestbeer]

I hate alcohol pitches. Its just bad for you.

[@pbsmoothie7281]

This deal fell through off screen. Dragon's den greedy for views with this upload 6 days ago when there is no deal lol

[@jain070809]

Plant milk based, is that Soya ? One of the main reasons of rainforest deforestation.

[@davidb9806]

Most Soy is fed to animals. Less than 10% is human food

[@Millie.com232]

Ghastly

[@ChocoLater1]

Alcoholics doesn't care about natural ingredients pitch.

[@scottwallbank4794]

Alcoholics aren't generally buying expensive flavoured liquors either. What's your point? Not everyone who drinks alcohol is an alcoholic.

@chocolater1 such a weak comment..

[@FunnykindGB]

Another investment for Sarah 💪. She will risk losing all her net worth if she keeps investing in each single pitch

[@likeasambud9817]

Doesnt the name panther milk go against the vegan ideology even if its not really panther milk. A panther is an animalZ

[@DUBLL100]

Get a grip

[@saintjimmy456]

Absolutely correct. Vegans cannot use products containing animal names. I know somebody who went vegan and sold their Fiat Panda, one that never wears Puma and one who won't browse the internet using FireFox.

[@ilkka9385]

Maybe it's made with coconut milk produced by a panther, hence 'panther milk'... I dunno. All I know is that it's just a name and name itself doesn't hurt anyone or anything.

[@R.S_Howell]

Hahaha hahaha hahaha got 'em. (Not)

[@bluesque9687]

Yea! Spot on! A vegan drink called Panther's milk doesn't ring! Why would you use those two words? Duh!

[@BenjaminGoose]

Oh my god vegan alcohol, what's the point?

[@ilkka9385]

Since it is plant milk based, I suppose the point is to have an alternative to animal milk based products of same purpose.

[@saintjimmy456]

"What's the point" is how I feel reading your comments.

[@bpaakwaan7325]

What if you cant have milk based products but you still want to have a drink ?
