I hate to tell you all this, but the judderman is a myth. The advert all very cool and clever (I actually quite like what they've done, playing on that whole East European fable thing) but has anyone here actually ever had a visit from the judderman? Perhaps I'm just not drinking it right but short of mixing it with half a bottle of ice- cold listerine and a quadruple vodka I really can't envisage anyone getting so much as a jiddle from a bottle of Metz.

It's not that I dislike it - Metz is entirely drinkable. (Too drinkable in fact, it's fairly strong and easy to swill down too quickly) The fact of the matter is that it tastes just like lemonade - you can't taste the alcoholcat all, so I think the whole "judder" thing is ridiculous when applied to this drink. Sorry.

Still it's a good advert and a good drink. It's just a shame (I suppose - I can't really say I'm that cut up about it) that that they don't actually relate to another at all.

Would have liked more detail on the advert itself for those that have never seen it

Thanx for reading Manx, but no, I didn't get tht from your opinion. I said the judderman was a myth because there is no judder.

Perhaps my review gave the suggestion I thought the Judderman was a real myth. No, of course not. He's a marketing plot. Mind you, the red and white Santa we all know these days was a marketing concept from Coke-a-Cola way in, er, the 20s.
