Fake social net, but real tomato-clam juice Our neighbors to the north are an interesting lot. Leaving aside their eerie friendliness, they also apparently drink what sounds like a noxious concoction: tomato-clam juice. This would be a tough sell here, but Tribal DDB is having some fun with it in Canada by creating a fake social network, Lamato.net. The premise is pretty simple: we’re not doing any real socializing while sitting in front of our computers throwing sheep at each other. Tribal has put together a bunch of video vignettes of real-life situations that correlate to their online equivalents. Clicking on any of the social network’s “features” pops up a message that it’s all a fake and a reminder to get out in the real world and suck down some liquored-up tomato-clam juice. —Posted by Brian Morrissey

Now, the real frightening thing is that people here in Canada mix Clamato with beer. That's just sick.

a bartender in Canada (who dislikes clamato juice) says: whoever has NOT had a tall double Bloody Ceasar while trying to resolve their hangover, has not yet tried the ultimate delicious hangover cure.
(A Bloody Ceasar is a Bloody Mary with the tomato juice replaced by clamato. Mott's is the best brand.)

Actually, Clamato is pretty common here in the states too, and if you are a regularly order bloody marys when out, you've probably had it. next time you're in the grocery store look in the mixers aisle, I bet it's there. (I should also mention that I live in the Southeast, so proximity to Canada is not a factor.)
