Brand recognition.

it's cheap, joggers like it, and its in rap music
you figure it out

>>14638449
OP, would you say the purchasers of the "henney" are typically of a certain race?

>>14638449
It's alcoholic grape syrup that's heavily advertised via rap culture

People are retarded and have been taught to overvalue brands

>>14638486
Admittedly they are.

>>14638449
Niggers drink it

>>14638449
If you sort of half-glance at the emblem, it looks like a black person in a hat on his knees being arrested

>>14638512
Can't unsee.

>>14638512
I see it

>>14638449
Why is it always locked up behind the cashier counter? Makes me reeee

>>14638552
Do you really think stores would just let a drink that black people drink stay out in the open? Shit would get stolen as soon as it goes on the shelf.

>>14638449
>sells
Anon, be honest.
Nobody is "Buying" that.

>>14638468
>it's cheap
BAHAHAHAHAHA

>>14638817
Nigga a 750ml is on average less than 40 dollars. That's not expensive at all.

>>14638971
not him but thats not cheap. if anything its further from cheap and closer to expensive. patron is the same size and price. its generally considered to be a more expensive tequila. compare that to taaka which is $5 for 750ml

>>14638449
it tastes awful

>>14638971

>>14638971
>That's not expensive at all.
Jesus christ, maybe with the taxes where you live. That's fucking robbery here.

Does Cognac really have to be made is cognac? Is it really better than any brandy?

>>14640345
Yes.
No. Plenty of good brandys from Spain, Germany, South Africa even other French brandys are just as good.

>>14638488
>It's alcoholic grape syrup that's heavily advertised via rap culture
It's like you believe world history started just a few decades ago.

>>14640499
let me guess, you're that faggot that insists the reason black people drink Hennessey is because of WWII

>>14640553

No, Hennessy is actually based on an ancient Wakandan recipe discovered in King Tyronekhamen's tomb and appropriated by the white devils.

>>14638512

>>14638449
it's on the most upper shelf of any ghetto liquor store and therefore becomes the beverage of choice of those who "made it".

>>14638449
Because people are sheep and they follow the herd mentality
>nigs have Henry in rap videos, huuuuur if i drink Henry ill be a rapper huuuurrrrrr durrrrrrr

>>14640714
>Henry

>>14640736
Autocorrect henny to henry

unironically just because of rappers
they're also why tanquerey sells so well

>>14640795

There’s this whole thing where anything a rapper says is mimicked by every black teenager. The reason there’s so many dumb words for weed (gAs, tReE, fIrE, etc) is because some idiot rapper used it to make a rhyme work. This goes for everything, alcoholic beverage choice, slang term choice, clothing choice, even social media choices. Then, the black teenagers carry on this “identity” well into adulthood while the next teenagers watch some “new” rapper who’s a “hip hop artist that’s changing the game” and do the exact same thing over again. Meanwhile, all the lyrics are being written by the same (((group))) and the rappers are just figureheads for the spread of propaganda, market manipulation, and the degeneration of society at large.

>>14640833
wait, you think rap lyrics are being ghost written by jews?

I work at a liquor store and there is a very specific demographic of people who buy hennesy. Strangely enough, they are also the same demographic who we have had try to rob the store twice. Very interesting, what a coincidence. Can't point that out though because it is racist apparently.

This same group of people also love Dusse, Don Julio 1942, Effen, and Ciroc. All brands pushed by hip hop culture. Again, what a strange coincidence. Do these people attempt to be as stereotypical as possible on purpose or are they just brainwashed sheep? Who knows.

>>14640851
no they manipulate the dumb rappers to help them sell more money for (((them)))

>>14640858
Definitely sheep

>>14638449
yeah its a nig thing.. along with e&J's It sad that a store down the hill has to lock up there $30 bottles of cognac yet have $100 bottles of scotch on their shelves

>>14638449
if you want young brandy, there are better choices

>>14638512
lol

>>14640654
But at the same time ghetto nibbas will spend $20 on a flask size Henny or Remy. I guess it's a way to briefly feel your life is going ok.

>>14640851
Not necessarily, but by a small group of propaganda writers definitely. Also, it’s clear that hollywood elevates celebrities and media far beyond it’s real popularity in order to increase sales and make hollywood more money. In this age of information, all someone needs to be famous is for the media to just continue propagating them to the people, and eventually it becomes ingrained in people’s minds “this person is famous and there’s no question about that”. Furthermore, whatever goal the propagandists have is highly obscured, because simply turning people into degenerates who do drugs, drink heavily, hurt those around them, and generally live a soulless meaningless life is a pointless consumerist goal. It could’ve been done any number of ways that didn’t drastically increase crime and promote the spread of STDs, but also these are lucrative for the government and health industries respectively. Not even to mention the black market being fueled by teenagers wanting to be cool and do drugs. Truthfully, I believe it’s all part of a communist takeover to turn the people into husks of human beings with no real humanity left to fight back, but who really knows?

>>14641239
The devil is real, but people seem to ignore it.

>>14641260
So is my dick

RAP SNITCHES

>>14638449
>What makes it so special?
nigs

>>14638449
It's a big brand and it's cheap.
Personally I prefer Martell because of the always changing cask finishes.

>>14641172
Young? But it claims to be very special old.

>>14642445
hennessy vs is like 3 years old.

>>14638981
it's cheap for cognac. patron is overpriced shit.

>>14638449
African americans are more influenced by targeted brand advertising directed right at them. It's just marketing 101. If you read a magazine like Ebony or watched BET or similar, you'd see exactly who targets them, and you'd go ahhh, ok. There have always been cars, cigarettes, booze and sports brands just for them. Maybe the most well known is menthol cigarettes and malt liquor, and probably Alize.

One thing is certain, that they like French stuff, perfume, scarves, purses, shoes, and booze. Why do they like French stuff? French colonialism and dreams of far off romantic Paris, and it's seen as sophisticated and don't look at pricetags level of expensive.

Brandy popularity in the US all but died out during blockades in the time of war, and in prohibition.after that. Spirits could be very harsh to swallow without that aging, so moonshine didn't cut it for some palates, and this is when adulterated distilled fake brandy appeared, brands such as Southern Comfort were to mimic it. Hennessy is just another luxury item. Cristal is the champagne equivalent. Brandy also can take a sweet mixer and prople who don't even like drinking much but like the effects can swallow down brandy and a mixer.

>>14642496
>patron is overpriced shit.
Big advertising budget. The price definitely doesn't fit the quality.

>>14642460
It was a joke. VSOP is a minimum of 4 years, XO (extra old) is a minimum of 10. Either make for a very young spirit.

>>14638971
if i'm gonna pay 40 dollars for booze it better be several gallons of wash that i'm distilling myself into several gallons of shine to make it myself

>>14638512

>>14638449
Because nigs buy anything bright and shiny. The design of the bottle is intentionally bright and shiny to get retarded rappers to flash on rap videos to get the chimpy nigglets to buy henny and give more money to (((then)))

>>14642509
Absolute bottom tier trash like Jack Daniels and Jim Beam are $40 at 37% abv.
Not paying tax sounds sweet as.

>>14642979
>37% abv
where you at, champ?

>>14642979
join the hillbilly likker lifestyle, anon. $12 for a gallon of whiskey if you do it right

>>14642999
Australia.
Our laws for American whisky are to follow the American laws for American whisky. But America has no laws for American whisky intended for export.
Same for scotch, but they actually have laws.

>>14640499
We live in a simulation. History started whenever you started.

I actually kinda like Henny VS but it's got such a repulsing burn to it. The VSOP at least is really nice but if I'm spending 60 dollars on a bottle I'm probably getting Talisker or Ardbeg.

>>14638449
I'm sorry you work in such a bad neighborhood OP.

>>14638449
I definitely haven’t drank enough alcohol that I probably need a liver transplant no way. Those pains mean nothing, pass me my 12th shot bro

>>14638468
Subtle anon, I like it.

>it's cheap for cognac

>>14638486
Yes.

>>14645633
Tell me about ketchup2

>>14645665
It's a premium quality ketchup

>>14645702
what makes it different from ketchup1.0?

>>14645713
It comes in a square bottle

>>14638971
>That's not expensive at all.
Compared to Odessa and Courvoisier that reach less than half of that price for a fifth at the same proof?
>>14638449
Another Anon already went into detail about this some years ago. It's the same thing FPBP said, but it is the same for Newports and other products. They were heavily advertised in black-targeted magazines like Ebony and what not in the 60's.
These are products that the black population in America center towards because the quality is something they recognize, and it's what their parents drank and smoked.
White folks were exposed to Marlboro and whisky just the same.

>>14645744
Niccccccceeeeeeee

Worked in a liquor store for 3 years while in college and can confirm its that primarly joggers and wannabe rappers buy it. Even if I pushed genuinely better cognacs that are half the price they would still buy the shit. I'd always say you're just paying for a name and they act like they were walking out a king with such a premium liquor. Same goes for Patron its a shit overpriced liquor that markets itself to the same type of people. If you just want to "flex" save the bottle and refill it with a better lower priced liquor.
>mfw I fill up my old grey goose bottle with Popov and bitches would flirt with me just to get a sip

>>14646757
>refill bottle
Kek I do that with patron and I refill it with $10 tequila for friends. They always talk about how good it is. Little do they know it’s $10 off brand tequila.

>>14645702
Dijon ketchup?

>>14646776
The fuck, how does no one tell the difference?

>>14647729
Because the average person just shoots alcohol and doesn't care how it tastes.

>>14646757
well, i work at a liquor store and patron is now an allocated item. so if you do this now, it might just work two fold if you play your cards right.

>>14638449
African Americans like it but I'm not sure why...never seen a white person drinking it, but surely some white people like it, but again, it's definitely mostly a black thing

>>14648049
I, a white person, tried Hennessy once. Later that night I raped my second cousin then recorded a mixtape.
Never again.

>>14641309
your dick is less important than the devil, people are correct to ignore it.

>>14638512

>>14648671
why, don't you have any other cousins?

>>14647729
real answer: patron is shit, like objectively awful tequila running on branding alone
do a blind tasting

>>14638449
i work at wally world, and only wiggers, somewhat well off looking blacks, and ghetto niggas trying to impress their woman who buy this shit, primarily the last two.

>>14648709
hang on a second let me beat my meat
>*Unzips dick *
> fapfapfap

>>14648726
That would be incest. I’m not a fucking animal.

>>14638552
Hmmm makes you think

>>14640851
Even rappers acknowledge this. Kanye West got in trouble for pointing it out, and a lot of rappers associated with Nation of Islam (like Ice Cube) have straight up gone full antisemetic calling out Jews in the music industry before.

>>14641239
>Truthfully, I believe it’s all part of a communist takeover to turn the people into husks of human beings with no real humanity left to fight back, but who really knows?

I hate commies, but all this shit is done by neoliberals. A different brand of evil, but evil nonetheless.

>>14646757
>If you just want to "flex" save the bottle and refill it with a better lower priced liquor.

I did this in college all the time lmao

>>14638449
It's not a bad thing to sip on really
Get it at a discount and all is good

>>14642509
Enjoy your methanol

>>14649601
how would he get methanol? isnt that what they put in moonshine to cut it during the prohibition that made people blind?

>>14638817
Joggers like you think 40 bucks is alot of money

>>14638449
Nothing. I know a guy who work for LVMH, I remember a story about some vodka (I think it was vodka), cheap shit, they rose the price 10 times and it started to sell like crazy. People are retards.

>>14638512

>>14649637
Methanol is what's filtered out, if shine is improperly distilled it can be poison.

>>14638971
>He doesn't drink the XO

>>14651442
I have yet to find a quality bottom shelf vodka I can drink neat. Absolut makes me want to vomit. Grey Goose is real nice, damn the expense.

>>14653258
>paying more for poison

>>14638468
>walk into liquor store
>gin, vodka, whiskey, rum, wine all sit out in the open on shelves
>cognac locked up behind the counter

>>14653295
Sobieska, Luksusowa

>>14638449
It's just popular for fuckwits
Rappers have had a lot to do to with that
Good stuff like Remy Martin is what you want

>>14648049
It's decent. I'll drink it if it's offered, and it can definitely taste good in highballs/cocktails, but I wouldn't seek it out compared to other cognacs.
>t. whitey who grew up surrounded by joggers

>>14653460
this. I can’t tell the difference between sobi and belvedere
