Uncle Tom Gin
July 15, 2010
A case of confusion at Tesco Lotus in Lamai, Koh Samui.
Came across these bottles of gin while shopping at Tesco Lotus recently. The bottle reads “Uncle Tom Gin. White Spirit: The Spirit of Thailand.” It also says “Product of Thailand” yet the background graphic is a picture of Big Ben in London. Huh? Totally dumbfounded when I saw this one. Hope they do their research before trying to branch out to the U.S. market. Especially the Dirty South.
