I think if you had Magnum running around drinking scotch all the time, it would have lessened his charm and relatability.golfmobile wrote:Interesting!
1. "Back then," the show probably had to PAY a royalty fee to use a name brand product in shots, as opposed to today when the name brands PAY a movie or TV show to use its products to promote them.
2. Makes me wonder who "Flagler" was -- another inside joke for the crew with the name of someone on the crew?
3. Why use beer so much anyway? Why not just have a glass of iced tea or a implied alcoholic drink (granted, I doubt MPI was a big mai tai fan, but he could have had a scotch and soda or a screwdriver, etc.)? Why go to the trouble to have to cover up a name brand? The drinking of beer in the show was never any part of any particular plot line -- not like any of the guys ever actually got drunk, and TC didn't drink at all later.
4. Why would "they" pay THIS much attention to beer bottles and neglect so many OTHER things?
Oh, yes, I forgot: "THAT is the order of the universe!" (TITOOTU!)

He has been known to indulge in scotch, brandy, (and I want to say cognac), so he's not completely w/o merit!
