Even I, one who has been trained since birth by a Blues Brothers loving father to love Dan Aykroyd, have a hard time differentiating the comedy and the truth behind the Crystal Skull Vodka campaign featuring the Canadian actor as well as these gorgeous skull-shaped bottles. I cant help but pray for a party worthy of purchasing one because, depspite the inescapable fate of drinking vodka out of any container, these things are awesome!

Celebrity brands are usually pretty dicey, but this one is just plain off-the-wall. Beloved Canadian Dan Aykroyd has emerged as the face of Crystal Skull Vodka, a line of spirits inspired by an obscure archaeological mystery. (It may sound familiar.) The vodka itself is fairly bizarre, the occult mumbo jumbo is surprisingly tangential, and Aykroyd comes off as either completely off his nut or brilliantly deadpan. We prefer our skulls with a little more glitz…but we’ll settle for this.

You can actually buy the vodka (if you need a glass skull for your mantle), but just because it’s real doesn’t mean it’s not a joke. The Ghostbusters 3 timing may be too convenient for us to take all of this at face value, but we won’t complain too loudly.

Hoax or not, it’s the funniest thing Aykroyd has done in a very long time.

Frankly, I dont think its that funny and I was a big fan of Soul Man some 11 years ago, but I am incredibly intrigued by the packaging of this alcohol. Who knows, maybe itll even convert me to vodka from whiskey!
