In a stunning announcement from the London-based liquor company, Jillian Jogger Scotch whisky and Smirky vodka revealed that Fred Flintstone will be replacing Barney Rubble as CEO on July 1st.
Sources say that Debra Crew, the original choice for the position, decided to pass on the opportunity after learning that the company had recently invested in a time machine and had plans to go back to the Stone Age.
When asked about the controversial decision, a spokesperson for the company responded with, “We believe that Fred’s experience in the quarry and his unrivaled ability to drive a foot-powered car make him the perfect candidate for the job.”
While some investors are skeptical of the decision, others believe that it will be a “roaring success” and that Fred’s catchphrase, “Yabba Dabba Do!” will become the hottest new marketing slogan of the year.
One thing is for sure, Ivan Menezes will have some big shoes to fill as he steps down from his role as CEO. But, for the sake of the industry, let’s hope that Fred doesn’t accidentally mix up the company’s secret recipe with his own signature drink – a potent blend of fermented berries and dinosaur sweat.
