Buy a chocolate or candy filled cane, empty out the chocolate and buy a dozen Beam nips to refill. He will appreciate it.

Signed, Not your husband but maybe your husband.

I thought they were full of caramels for a second and then I zoomed in and was disappointed 😂

Its actually for people like me, who want to drink fireball while also creating the most plastic waste possible. I usually buy the buckets of nips, but around the holidays, I get these, a lot more plastic for me to litter!

I found a discounted Fireball Halloween bag recently. They’re festive

If they’re the fake cinnamon fireball sure, for the uncle that gets blitz and everyone drinks the real fireball whisky.

I think we bought a few when the kids were little. 20 years ago.

We get them as gifts for friends and family out of state.

Shouldn't that be behind a counter or something? Seems a bit irresponsible to have them out where people can easily just grab and go.

Are those the real ones or are they the Malt Liquor versions? That's the question

The candy cane is cute, but I like the bucket better. It is reusable and very handy!

while that may be true for your neighbor specifically, it is also the general rule. natural ice cans and fireball nips are the two pieces of litter that i consistently see on the side of the road while i'm biking. the (not so) funny thing? i live in south portland and i do most of my biking in cape elizabeth. so, we're not just talking about out in the mountains or the county. it's a statewide plague

Proof positive that poverty in Maine is overreported.

If this is how you buy liquor, you have money to burn.

I’ve bought these as gifts for people. I don’t hate Fireball, but it’s absolutely NOT my go to. That shit is way too sweet to drink much of. I prefer ya know, regular whiskey. Like woodford…or Jameson.

I drink but I've never bought a nip. The only purpose is to drink while driving and then toss the evidence.

Thank you for the reminder. Its that time of year everyone!!!

The amount of people who don’t even realize these are the “malt beverage” ones with a lower alcohol content cracks me up. They think they’re buying straight fireball at places without a hard liquor license.

I work at a certain grocery store who's name rhymes with Jaws. I sell roughly 5 of these in an 8 hour shift.

Looks like this is at a Cumberland farms, which doesn't have a license to sell hard liquor, so they are the weak ass fake fireballs for sure. Those would go straight into the trash if I were gifted any.

IIRC Fireball is the top liquor in Maine now beating Allen's Coffee Brandy

News flash: Poor people aren’t the only ones hurting by inflation. The cost of liquor is far far higher if you buy it in nips. It’s like buying one M&M candy at a time instead of in a bag.

You don’t buy nips to take home and enjoy a quiet drink.

So buying a nip is economical stupid, and dangerous because you’re buying it to drink and drive and toss the evidence out the window.
