Old Carbine Tequila comes in gun-shaped bottles

Monday, January 9th, 2012 | Posted by | 9 responses

These two-foot-tall Old Carbine Tequila bottles are $49.99 at Costco

Tucked between aisles of party paper supplies and Gingerbread Man cookie decorating kits at the Rohnert Park Costco is a large display of Old Carbine Tequila bottles shaped like guns. They are lined up in the warehouse like some gun-runner’s stash.

Considering the steady flow of news stories about gunfights and deaths in Mexico, where this Tequila comes from, some might consider it a tad tasteless and callous to shape booze bottles like weapons.

The $49.99 rifle bottles come with two shot glasses, although pouring from the two-foot-tall bottle into the narrow-mouthed shot glasses is no easy feat.

What do you think about the weapon design?

  1. I don’t think anyone should take offence to these tequila bottles because thats exactly what they are, everyone is entitled to do what they want, if someone chooses to buy this product who are we to judge them for it? I say, who cares, let who ever wants to purchase them buy them and move on, after all it isn’t like theyre holding a gun to our head to buy it! LOL!

  2. Who cares. Get a life.

  3. Considering our own government was providing guns to the criminals in Mexico through Operation Fast & Furious maybe they should get behind this tequila!

  4. There was a handgun-shaped bottle out there a while ago too. Big Deal. It’s an apt indicator of what happens to your brain when you drink that stuff. That’s why there’s a skull container out there too. ooooooooooooooooo, how macho. You know what kind of product it’s gotta be when they have to resort to trick bottles to sell the stuff. Cleans paint brushes too.

  5. Offence, really Chelz? These bottles look like low life Drug Cartel props and Costco should be ashamed

    Big fat hairy deal!!! THIS is considered newsworthy? I’m sure there will be a small sector that will rally behind your war-cry, but are you seriously trying to get a movement underway to outlaw gun shaped bottles? Get a grip.

  7. Why is it even a discussion of this? are you hoping that the anti-gun people get on the bandwagon, or perhaps spin it into teaching kids to drink at an early age? I am amazed at the media for pushing this type of garbage.

      Why do all the anti-gun cry-babies have to make a huge deal out of such a miniscule thing. I think it’s time for some people to get a life and stop worrying about stuff like this…

  8. Tequila is how giant scarry dingbats get the pickle. Not how they propagandize against commen cents.
