Some of you may already know that I'm a sucker for cool bottles and love finding horror/scifi/fantasy styled regular products whether they be perfumes, cutlery, furniture or in this case, alcohol. If you didn't already know, Dan Aykroyd has released a vodka called Crystal Head Vodka. The cool thing about this vodka is that the bottle is a clear "skull" shape and looks absolutely awesome.

I've been planning to get this awesome bottle of vodka from the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) ever since I first heard about it. Well it seems that my plans may have found a glitch. It seems that the LCBO has banned the vodka from its shelves stating that “The image of the human skull is the thing that’s really problematic for us,” said LCBO spokesman Chris Layton. “That’s an image that’s commonly associated with death. It’s especially problematic at a time when there are concerns around binge drinking by younger adults, which in some cases unfortunately has resulted in alcohol poisoning.”

As much as I'm not happy with this decision, the brand is allowed to be sold in Ontario bars and restaurants and if you like it a lot or have some friends who also want a bottle, Crystal Head Vodka can be ordered by consumers by the case through the LCBO’s private-stock system.

Apparently they like it in BC and it is available or will be available in Saskatchewan and Quebec so I may just have to plan a road trip.
