Skyy: Not Made in the USA
Bad news for all you vodka-loving patriots out there: that bottle of Skyy vodka you're planning to guzzle later tonight was not actually a "product of the USA." The vodka, itself, is made here, which is why is says it's made in the USA on the bottle. But those "distinctive cobalt blue bottles"? They're made in Mexico! At least that's what a woman named Jennifer Martin claims, who filed suit against Skyy after she picked up some booze for a Independence Day celebration but had insisted on only buying "American made" beverages, and then got fooled into picking up some Skyy. Martin has filed a class action suit and is asking for $75,000 for each plaintiff, plus $5 million in punitive damages. You can review the lawsuit below. And you can probably expect to see Martin make an appearance on Lou Dobbs next week.
