Margaritaville Foods Launches Chicken Line in Time for Big Game. Press release here:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/02/prweb3561474.htm.

We've already got the restaurants themselves, as well as the tequila, the rum, the concoction maker, and the tailgate grill, among other. We've got Landshark Lager, and the recently renamed Landshark Stadium. There's a new JB version of a Martin collectible guitar.

So what's next?? Margaritaville tiki torch fuel? Jimmy Buffett Christmas "Fruitcakes"? A Key West-edition "Old Red Bike"? Who knows??

I'd buy the Key west Old Red Bike, but it has to be a no-speed cruiser with high handlebars - nothing fancy or expensive (so I don't think we'll be getting that one) :D

Since I can't find his Margaritaville brands foods anywhere near me, I shouldn't vote. But I did. Boobies, of course. 8) [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Oh for hell's sake.....if I had a big, giant cash cow in my back yard....you can bet I'd milk that b*tch as often as I could....who cares? Buy it, don't buy it......but if Mr. Buffett wants to pad his bank account, I don't care. I don't buy the stuff as high-sodium, processed foods don't work in to my current lifestyle.....but why would I deny the rest of world the privilege of an MV jamaican jerk shrimp?

Of course, that was my choice, too. I did pause for a second at spork.....but really, we all know the answer.

I don't know why I'm not believed when I say the rules explicitly state that sporks and pie are always implied with boobies. [smilie=beadygrinner.gif]

Condoms. When they release a line of margarita flavored condoms will be when I think he's jumped the shark.

I vote NO!

I really wish he still had the Caribbean Soul line. That has always been some of my favorite stuff. It just seems like the songline shirts aren't done as well now, but I know there are reasons for turning CS over to others.

Jack, I remember when the condoms were mentioned at concerts back in the late 80s!!

I voted "meh," because that's how I've always felt about everything Jimmy does outside of music. Since I live overseas, I couldn't get his food products if I wanted them anyhow. When I was in the US, I never felt the need to try them, and I have to admit that I felt a slight aversion to them because my friends already knew how obsessed I was with his music. Besides, I reasoned, if my favorite chef paid some musicians to make a CD and put his/her name on it, I sincerely doubt I'd even bother listening. But has he jumped the shark? As someone else has already said, he might just as well keep milking his cash-cow for all it's worth.
