We've all seen the funny adverts of blokes doing laddish things and then we see them all in the pub at the end of the advert drinking the above. I don't know one bloke who would ever drink this rubbish and lads at work and socially all say they would laugh if one of their mates ordered it. Is their advertising campaign targeting the wrong audience as I'd have thought this drink would be quite popular with the ladies??
That is not a sexist comment by the way.

The advertising is just trying to make the drink more appealing to men, who probably buy more alcohol.
not intentionally no, but it is sexist
I'm a straight bloke in his 40s and I Like drinking WKD blue now and again. I find it quite refreshing and a nice change from the usual beer and wine I normally drink.
The 'lads at work and socially' need to be real men and not come up with silly macho nonsense.
reminds me of an anecdote....
A mate of mine works on building sites as a chippy. Building sites are well known for silly macho culture.
One hot day we pulled into a garge to get some drinks. I came back with a "diet coke" - He looked at me and shrieked "Diet Coke" in a high voice! As if to say "what are you drinking diet coke for?
I guessed what was going on and I said to him "I bet people get called a poofter for drinking Diet Coke on building sites?"
"Yup" he replied.
:rolleyes::D
Perhaps you get a few free bottles at the gates of St Peter?
Feel hot now.
Gorgeous drink, and it's too nice so after you have 1 you always end up having a few more
I couldn't agree with you more about the bizarre (IMO) attitude that you can tell how "real" a man is by what he drinks or by whether he wears eau de cologne or aftershave. I'm amazed that people in the 21st century still continue to believe this neanderthal nonsense.
Here's my view - if you have the correct male chromosone set and no desire to have a a sex change - drinking WKD will not make you a woman. If you are insecure enough to think your choice of drink lessens your masculinity it's time for some serious thinking.
Which is why Coca Cola brought out Coke Zero - which is exactly the same as Diet Coke but marketed to be acceptable to impressionable 'macho' men.
Strange.............my wife drinks zero and not diet.......is there something I should know?
I'm sure that's not the only reason...
My friends, and often barmen joke about me being a girl always drinking that, but hey I think it's great
Although lately I've started drinking VK Vodka [Red/Blue] - and a few of the clubs I've been too, I've seen a majority of men also drinking them...
What's the difference between being seen dead with a WKD Blue and a VK bottle? They're practically the same!
When we were around 15 we used to buy WKD because it was the cheapest, decent tasting booze available in the local Netto!
I don't drink it often now though, as it takes quite a few to make me tipsy.
