but in digging up the image, there were news items from a couple of years ago about how his product was banned in Ontario.

It’s especially problematic at a time when there are concerns around binge drinking by younger adults, which in some cases unfortunately has resulted in alcohol poisoning.” ....
Designed by American landscape artist John Alexander, a friend of Mr. Aykroyd’s, the container was inspired by Mr. Alexander’s fascination with Day of the Dead ceremonies popular in Latin America. Its name was inspired by Mr. Aykroyd’s own long-time interest in the occult, specifically the legend of 13 quartz-crystal heads unearthed at various locations around the world. ....
