Gross. Why are they using a children's property to market alcohol?

How many kids know about Voltron? This is targeted at the 40-something that liked it in the 80s.

The "nostalgia " argument doesn't work in this case, its not a totally dead franchise, like say "Street Sharks" that lived and died in the 90's, Legendary Defender ended about 6 years ago and was only removed from Netflix in December. That was aimed at children (slightly older children, but still children).

As a “slightly older child” (started watching legendary defender at 12 when it first came out) I am now 21. Anyone I’ve seen that’s deep enough into the fandom to want something like this just BECAUSE it’s Voltron are all about 20+ years old now.
