Despite Recession, Americans Still Prefer Top Shelf

partysugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:15:39 -0700

Yesterday model and actress Molly Sims announced the interesting results of the 2008 National Survey of American Cocktail Culture, Attitudes, and Trends. The survey - conducted by drinkwell.com - asked consumers about their drinking perspectives. Steve Wallet, VP of Diageo, which sponsored the survey, summarizes the results:

Our focus on cocktail culture continues to expand, prompted by pop culture influences like "Sex and the City," an increased awareness of quality brands, and bartenders with skills rivaling chefs - all making our choices of where to go and what to drink even more integral to Americans' lifestyles.

The study revealed that 58 percent of Americans are willing to pay more for top shelf brands. Birthdays are the number one reason to toast, followed closely by vacations and job promotions.

Guess what the most popular drink of the Summer is? The margarita! Do you agree with the findings? Do you order top shelf liquors at bars? Is the margarita your preferred Summer cocktail?

Can I See Some ID?

YumSugar — Fri, 18 May 2007 10:03:19 -0700

In a recent survey conducted by The Nielsen Company on behalf of Anheuser-Busch, 95% of American adults think that, while inconvenient, ID checking is a worthwile way to reduce underage drinking. The survey was taken to determine how people view the effectiveness of ID checking. The survey also discovered that 94% of the people think that those who sell alcohol should be trained to spot fake IDs.

"Checking IDs is one of the keys to keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors. Simply put, if teens can't get alcohol, they can't drink it, and the survey reflects that America's retailers are doing their part, and that American adults fully embrace this concept," says John Kaestner, vice president of Consumer Affairs for Anheuser-Busch Cos.

In addition to the straightforward questions, the survey also asked a few ridiculous ones. The three that really stood out to me were:

The person we want to see the ID of (and get to know their real age) is: Joan Rivers (26%), Oprah Winfrey (23%), Simon Cowell (16%) and Ashton Kutcher (15%).
The lady we want to check our ID when purchasing alcohol is: Ellen Degeneres (32%), Kelly Ripa (24%), Tyra Banks (22%) and Ann Curry (9%).
The guy we want to check our IDs is Regis Philbin (29%), Conan O'Brien (21%), Ryan Seacrest (19%) and Al Roker (18%).

First of all, who thought to ask those questions? The ID stuff I can understand, it's really interesting, but who do you want to check your ID? What? Also, are you telling me that Regis Philbin really beat out someone like George Clooney? America, I don't get you sometimes...

British Men Love Gordon Ramsay

YumSugar — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 00:00:11 -0700

For an upcoming issue of British Esquire, 500 men were interviewed for the State of the British Man Survey, and it turns out that the most admired British man is none other than celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. I guess British men just like a guy who's in charge and knows it. Although, oddly enough, Professor Stephen Hawking ranked second on the list. The person they least admire? Good ol' Pete Doherty.

And speaking of Ramsay, the next season of the US version of Hell's Kitchen is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 4.

Will Ferrell Makes People Think of Peeps?!?

YumSugar — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 00:03:19 -0700

I read the weirdest press release last week. The folks over at Just Born (the folks responsible for Peeps, the Easter marshmallow tradition) announced the results to their annual Peeps Celebrity Survey. With a name like that, I assumed they surveyed celebrities, but no, that's not true at all. It's a survey about Peeps in relation to celebrities. For example, 22% of the people surveyed feel that Will Ferrell is the male person most resembling a Peep in "physique, colorful attire, or sweet nature/personality." To check out the rest of the results, read more

Okay, so the first few don't have much to do with "celebrity" and according to the press release, the survey is actually done as "an important way to keep up with today's trends and cultures."

59% of the people surveyed think the chick is cooler than the bunny - personally I like the bunny. I munch the ears off first, which is even weirder to me because I don't even like the way they taste.
More people enjoy the Peeps fresh (as opposed to "aged").
When asked how people enjoyed their Peeps. The top three answers were: head first, in crafts/decor and micro-waved. Hrmm... micro-waved, really? I might have to try that (again, not sure why I need to, just feel compelled to).

After Will Ferrell, people felt that Johnny Depp, Jamie Foxx and Justin Timberlake all resembled a Peep.
When asked what "female public person or celebrity might Peeps become," the answers were Jessica Simpson, Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres.
The male person most in need of a Peep is President Bush (2nd year in a row), followed by Donald Trump and Simon Cowell. Something tells me that Simon might just bite the head off and spit it out...
The female person most in need of a Peep is dear ol' Britney (at 40%).

Now what I want to know is how many people actually took this survey and what was the age range.

What Do You Call a Soda?

This map shows the popular generic names for soft drinks by county. I'm really surprised, I thought more states used the word "soda" instead of "pop" and I actually didn't realize that so many people used the word "coke" to mean all soda.

So hey, what do you call a soda?

What Do Men Like to Cook?

YumSugar — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 10:58:47 -0800

Uncrate, which dubs itself as a web magazine for guys who love stuff, recently asked their readers (mostly men) what their favorite dish to cook was. Some of the highlights include "Meat + Hot Coals," reservations, chicken parmesan, and asparagus risotto, but there were also a surprising number of chocolate responses (chocolate cookies, chocolate beer stew). My favorite comment came from one reader who said:

If you're a guy and can't make Prime Rib, you may as well put on a dress.

So how about you ladies (and gents, don't be shy, join in too!), what's your favorite dish to cook? Let us know, or better yet, post the recipe on TeamSugar!
