Reply to comment by themehboat in Jack Daniel’s asks Supreme Court to hear dog toy dispute. Will they bite? by WREGnewschannel3
No but they are buying it because it is related to Jack Daniels. If they want to make a toy alcohol bottle just use something completely made up... Oh wait. That's not funny so it won't sell.

The toy doesn't seem to make fun or comment on the jack Daniels brand, it's just a copy with changes.
