what is "the great crisis"? --24.8.110.164

In Illinois, it's pronounced "Shmirnoff". Is this how it's pronounced elsewhere aswell?--69.212.99.174 18:45, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Most of Slavic countries fronounce it the way it should be pronounced - as "smeer-nov" or "smeer-noff". How about the ROTW? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 23:40, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)
Speaking of Illinois, I recently noticed on a bottle of Smirnoff Ice Raspberry's label says "..Brewed and bottled by Smirnoff Co. Plainfield, Illinois" I didn't see any reference to Plainfield in the article, I'm guessing that this is because either there are dozens of bottling centers around the US, or that only that flavor itself is bottled in Plainfield, and those specifics wouldn't lend themselves well to the length of this article.

Can we elaborate more on the inferiority of the australian smirnoff vodka and possibly get a link to it?.
- I've bought both Red and Blue Label Smirnoff in Australia. The labels on both say "Bottled in Australia for the Smirnoff Co. by Diageo Australia [...] using premium grain neutral spirit imported from the U.S.A." The info in the article appears to be false.
Is it worth mentioning that the only markets where Smirnoff Ice made and sold as a malt-based drink are the US and French markets? Throughout the rest of the world it's mixed with Smirnoff 21 vodka, and usually contains more ABV (or at least it used to). Canadian-market Smirnoff Ice in particular is made using Smirnoff 21, and contains 7% ABV. (http://www.diageo.com/download%5C3000---R525.pdf) -- 93JC 00:32, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Should a mention to the most recent advertising campaigns be made? Or possibly a list of past advertising campaigns? If so can someone create this? Please post comments.

- Yeah, I've got a question about ads for Smirnoff. Back in the 1990s there was an awesome ad here in Australia - was it used elsewhere? It had a guy and a girl being pursued by some bald headed villain and his henchmen... and every so often the scene would shift, say on a train, fighting aliens, in a dark alley, etc. This was an awesome ad, and the electronic music underneath it, well, I've been trying to track it down for years without much luck. Does anyone else know what I'm on about? :) -- Bricks J. Winzer 06:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I know that add, its awesome. Wish they would show it again on TV.

[edit] Legit Question
Shouldn't regular Smirnoff Ice be #72 (not 71)? I mean, I'm looking right at the bottle as I ask this, but just to confirm... —Preceding unsigned comment added by NJDevils1087 (talk • contribs) 05:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 11 December 2006 reverting test
I reverted a test by 81.79.15.229 today:
- 22:06, 11 December 2006 81.79.15.229
and my edit is not showing in history. But is it under my own cotributions.
- 22:07, 11 December 2006 (hist) (diff) Smirnoff (rvt test by 81.79.15.229)
Decidedly odd. --EarthPerson 22:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Best selling high-priced spirit?
This is a misleading statement, Smirnoff occupies the Value or Lower-Premium segment of the vodka market (~$12-14 per bottle), and in relation to other vodkas, is one of the lowest priced popular brands. Absolut and Stolichnaya are ~$22 per bottle and still would barely qualify as "high-priced spirits" considering the explosive popularity of the Super-Premium market segment (~$28-39 per bottle). Looking further, there are a number of popular ultra-premium vodkas that range in price from $40 to $95 per bottle, THOSE would be high-priced spirits to be sure, but not Smirnoff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.145.10.18 (talk) 16:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
