๐Ÿ˜‚ successful business men aren't buying Captain Morgan

[โ€“] danc4498@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Iโ€™m so confused by the reaction to my comment. Do people think I said this rum was for successful business men? Or what I actually said that they see themselves that way.

I understand what you're saying. I think you can interpret what you said in two ways that sound like you don't know captain morgan: either you think actual successful businessmen drink it or you think people who aren't successful but ignorantly think of themselves as successful drink it.

I think you're getting downvotes because both of those groups wouldn't drink captain morgan as a "sign of their success"

For example:

Perhaps assuming such levels of ambient delusion among men is what got you the downvotes.

That's the joke

Also a rum and coke isn't some sophisticated drink. Doesn't stop Wallstreet types from downing them like water.
