sex sells cherries, by the seashore

Ok. Ha. I know we tend to laugh at the Euro-practice of using naked women and sex to sell everything from shampoo to ear wax disolver, but suddenly it's starting to make more sense to me.

Daniel (I mean Danielle! In my tiredness I just translated a whole person!) told me his great aunt only drank this.*

You just know he can tie a knot in that cherry stalk just using his tongue, don't you?

heheheheheheh.

What does Sinnlich. Feurig. Edel. mean?

*That is to say, as opposed to other alcohol. I'm assuming it wasn't her eight glasses of water a day or anything.

Sensuous. Fiery. Noble.

My great great aunt used to make cherry brandy with her sisters. She claimed never to drink the stuff, though. She just ate the cherries.

She still got very happy and talkative.

Thank-you for that loveliness on a Tuesday morning!

Ha, that's cute, Mwa.

Hipflask, Ms M! Or did you mean the tempting man? ;)

I loved how I had to check a box pledging I was over 18... to see a dude balance a cherry on his lip!! European freedoms are being trampled, my friend.

I can't find it on the net, but here they have billboards of naked female human breasts selling mozzarella and parmigiano -- which ARE milk-related, but totally wrong species.
