Telstra really did call my bluff.
Well, I just learned my lesson when it comes to challenging Telstra.
This week I wrote a piece titled
I Demand Telstra Make A 5G Gin. This was off the back of T-Mobile in the U.S. doing just that – making and selling a gin.
I thought it would be a silly shitpost and we would all move on with our lives. After all, it was basically just a few hundred words of weak arguments as to why Telstra should make gin. Not exactly hard hitting stuff.
But then a couple of things happened.
An Australian distillery is selling gin-filled baubles to decorate Christmas trees this festive season - and they re flying out of stock.
Gingle Bells makes the ornaments with craft spirits in its distillery in Sydney s northwest, infusing each bauble with one of six native Australian syrups to give them a unique flavour and festive colour.
Flavours include finger lime, wattleseed, snow chrysanthemum, wild hibiscus and pepperberry, with sprigs of native plants and flowers floating inside each container.
The decorations - which come in sets of six for $79 - can be ordered online from the brand s website to bring something a little different to your home this year.
