What is it distilled from?
What is the carb/sugar source that jaeger is distilled from? --Battlehamster 08:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

the loose translation captures more of the essence of the poem - jm 05:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I've removed a modification to the preparation section of a list of ingredients with no citation. "Jägermeister's recipe is made up of olive oil,vinegar,black licorice extract and a secret liquer." If the contributor can back that up with a credible reference, please reinstate. --RobAtSGH (talk) 18:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * In my country, Jager is notable for it's licorice flavor. Yet, most licorice-flavored candies derive the flavor from anise. My WP:OR has shown, via direct contact with Mast-Jägermeister AG, that Jager contains both licorice and anise among it's 56 ingredients, and public knowledge of such would prevent many a drunken quarrel. --  Esoteric Rogue  Talk  19:34, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Criticism rather than contribution
This is a terrible article. (ChaosEmerald)


 * Why don't you fix it? BabuBhatt 23:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * In the "Jägermeister in popular culture" part, somebody pretend that "In Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Marilyn Manson makes several references to drinking Jägermeister", I looked closely at the lyrics of the song and I didn't see what could make us assume that. Are there here some Marilyn Manson fans that could confirm that we should delete this pseudo-reference? (Kodamarazi) 15:10 12 June 2007

I believe the reference was to Marilyn's autobiography of the same name, not the song. --24.227.68.114 20:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Remedies for future vandalism
It looks like the last round of vandalism had been fixed, but it's getting annoying. I've had to fix some vandalism myself, like lame comments about how Jägermeister is made. How about making it so that only regeistered users can edit this page... or are the vandals registered users? Elwin Blaine Coldiron 16:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

List of mixed drinks
Does this section really help the quality of the article? Mixology guides elsewhere would have this type of information, but this being well outside of my realm of expertise I would rather consult other opinions before removing them. skrshawk (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 05:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Go ahead and remove or better, transwiki them. I think wiki(cook)books would be a good place to store that info. bbx 07:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Did some looking into this and it seems like their glossary of mixed drinks is having some trouble with attribution when it comes to the transwiki process; this is probably above my skill. Might want to get some help with this (I'm pretty new with this).  As the list is not seriously detracting from the quality of the article I would say leave it until it can be properly moved or a larger consensus reached about deleting it outright.  skrshawk  (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 16:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Since there has been no further discussion I am removing the drink list. If there is a desire to move its contents to Wikibooks I have archived them to Talk:Jägermeister/Drink List, however if that doesn't happen soon I will put a note up to have the page deleted (I'm archiving it since no consensus was reached and it's a fairly significant edit). skrshawk  (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 21:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I hadn't been following this discussion until now. Wiki(cook)books is probably not the best place, but rather [b:Bartending, which deals with alcoholic beverages. I'm not sure about the transwikiing and the attribution process though. Here at the English Wikipedia, there are some Jägermeister related drinks mentioned in Beer mix, List of cocktails, and Mixed drink shooters and drink shots. It might make sense to reintroduce a few of the previously listed drinks back into the article and link to them from the drink lists. Then again, it might not. I have not clue how notable any Jägermeister drinks are. Naturally, I am familiar with Jägermeister, but not any drinks made using it. If anyone has some suggestions as to which are keep-worthy, which are questionable, and which are totally pointless, I'd appreciate the input. And I'm not just talking here in this article, but also in the three lists I mentioned. Thanks! --Willscrlt 00:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC) WikiProject Cocktails
 * The list was really approaching cruft, and like you, I have no way of knowing which ones are standard in the bartender's repetoire. I feel better leaving that aspect to those more educated and researched than I, but it was clear to me that this was out of control and nobody had yet spoke up. Hopefully this will get some attention that will get the useful information extracted from that list.  skrshawk  (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 03:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Popular culture for Jägermeister mixed drinks probably accounts for 85 percent of the traffic to this page. It would be sort of ironic if info on the very reason people come to this page was deleted JayKeaton 10:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * There should at least be a mention of the Jagerbomb (Jager and Red Bull) on this page Timan123 07:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The bit on the Jaegerbomb mentions "sculling". I don't know what that means, but the link points to the rowing-related meaning of sculling and should be revised.  Adking80 19:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Temperature Conversions
Article stated that on tap Jagermeister is usually served at 4F. That would make it -15C, which I doubt is correct.

4F is the correct temperature for serving jagermeister per the official Jagermeister website. I also found it on a bartending website which I just lost the link for.


 * It is very correct. Several German advertising campaigns state "Jägermeister at -18°C" - which means: deep-freeze, because -18° is the temperature common in Germany have. And frankly, it tastes best at this temperature. Krisko1974 19:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Vandalized again
I'm not familiar with the history of this article -- I was looking it up for information, not as an expert or author -- but it appears to have been vandalized again. The line about having NO deer's blood now says it HAS deer's blood, which is almost certainly not right. I don't know if anything else was changed. Probably needs to be locked, since from reading other comments this has been a recurring problem.71.91.114.31 05:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Michael

Can anyone give a website saying explicitly that it has or has not got deer's blood? I've got a lot of mixed reports from bar-staff that I talk to. Perhaps the blood is exclusive to some countries rather than other?Adam9876 18:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I've heard the stag's blood as well. I'm not sure if it's exclusive to Germany or if it was how it used to be made or if it's true or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.177.39 (talk) 14:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Boy, this is a great story. I'm gonna tell my mates that Americans believe that in Germany you can buy drinks made of blood. Hilarious!!! Do you have any idea how may deer you have to kill for that? What a hoax! --perelly (talk) 18:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Where does it say Americans believe that...what brings you to that moronic conclusion perelly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rizzle12 (talk • contribs) 03:04, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't help that a lot of bartenders have been repeating the urban legend as truth. :P Its not. --24.20.236.62 (talk) 21:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

spell
how does an englishspeaker spell it? jager or jäger or anything else?
 * Jägermeister is the most correct spelling. In transliteration of German, "ä" becomes "ae" so Jaegermeister would be correct as well. Many English-speakers just use Jagermeister, though. &mdash;Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 01:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I should note that people pronounce it as "Jaegermeister" no matter how they spell it though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JagerSS (talk • contribs) 15:47, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I just call it Jager.--72.24.207.77 (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Jägermeister in popular culture removal
I think the popular culture part of the page is getting too big for its own good as it is the same size as the article itself, as I have noticed recently that such list on various pages are getting purged, shall we do the same. Also there is a bit within the article where it has been mentioned for its association with rock music. Willirennen 18:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Ideally Served?
I found this:-

"On tap, the drink is ideally served at -18°C" in the summary; it seems a bit chilly to me!

On the other hand, I found this:-

"Egri Bikavér should be served at 16-18°C. " on another page, so I'm assuming that's what the author meant. Moonraker12 11:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Now someone has edited this with the comment:-
 * "(The temperature is suppose to be a negative number, the way it was shown made it look positive.)".
 * It was meant to look positive, because the comment on the other page is positive: I don't know what the right temperature is, but I'm pretty sure it won't be 18 below freezing. On the other hand 16 to 18 C does seem a bit warm. I've changed it back because I thought plus 16 to 18 was more likely to be what was there originally. Does anyone actually know how you are supposed to serve this? Moonraker12 15:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Remember..its the freezing temp of WATER, not jager..so it seems reasonable to me that it would be 18 below


 * Well according to the Jägermeister site it should be stored in the freezer (look for the mix tips section). I also see that there are some Jägermeister machines that keep it between -12C and -15C. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You’re right, I’m the dupe of a coincidence. This article, up till 9th October gave the serving temperature as 4F (-15.5C), and there is a discussion further up this page (which I missed) about serving it below freezing.


 * I had been following the link to Hungarian wine (via Unicum) and found the article on Bull’s Blood, (Egri Bikaver) which, apparently, is served warm (40-44F). Hence my previous comments


 * I’ve restored this page to the original 4F statement; Sorry about the confusion . Moonraker12 08:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Never mind. I didn't see the above discussion either. I only edited this page because of a disambiguation I was working on. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Now I'm thinking about it, there was a drink called Metz which was supposed to be served so cold it would give you "judders"; it had a seriously scary advert, featuring the Judderman to emphasize the point. But I don't know what temperature that actually was. Moonraker12 12:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Has anyone heard anything or would know more info about a certain urban legend concerning this drink. Deer Blood at one point was an ingredient? or that it's mixed with it in some weird ritual ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.250.139 (talk) 06:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

St Hubert or St Eustace
The article currently says the label is a reference to St Hubert. Is there a source for this? Has Jagermeister said anything about this? Looks like it could be either. 130.88.140.10 (talk) 12:24, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Jagermeister wesite cites the Legend of Saint Hubertus. No mention is made of Saint Eustace. I prefer Hubertus, as his story seems simpler and directly involves the vision inspired by the stag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScaramoucheX (talk • contribs) 04:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Recently restored info
Two things I took out were recently put back claiming they'd been removed "arbitrarily".


 * I took this one out originally because it seemed a bit trivial to highlight a denial of what was obviously a fairly implausible urban legend. On reflection I guess it's interesting enough (and does seem to be quite a frequently raised question on message boards etc, plus Snopes is not the worst source I've ever seen on WP) - however it still seems a bit much for a lead, which would surely be better focusing on what the drink is made of?


 * I took this one out because it is unsourced and just vague and ultimately unverifiable. Bringing in alleged Nazi links is always difficult at the best of time (and I even thought this one might be a hoax), and I'm not aware of any reliable evidence that it is referred to as "Goring Schnapps".

Anyway, just my thoughts. --Nickhh (talk) 11:23, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

J. Manning quote
Is there some reason that the J. Manning quote has been added to the history section of this article? It doesn't seem relevant to me but I just wanted to be sure first... WDavis1911 (talk) 06:38, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd say it's relevant if it's on every bottle of the stuff.

31 SS resemblance
It's not "original research." It's blatantly obvious. Actually it'd be cool if someone looked up the history of the logo, to see if it changed to be more like the SS thing.
 * Lots of things/logos bear a resemblance to other logos, but it is not noteworthy to point it out, especially when you are comparing a corporate logo to a Nazi insignia! This can be taken as a suggestion of a link, and certainly could get wiki into trouble if the brewery took issue with the entry. magnius (talk) 15:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not claiming that there's a link. I actually said a "passing resemblance" to make that as clear as possible. If the brewery takes issue with something a 5-year-old could see then that's downright pathetic. They're both bucks with 6 points on each antler in the same pattern. I don't see how much of a resemblance there needs to be before someone claims a "passing resemblance." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.91.71 (talk) 15:30, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going to ask for a third party opinion. Please do not edit the article until we can reach an agreement. If there is a consensus that it can be added, then so be it, but until then I think this needs discussion.magnius (talk) 15:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

"Passing resemblance": http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/passing Passing's 4th adjective definition: "Superficial   " Superficial's 2nd definition: "2 a : concerned only with the obvious or apparent : shallow b : seen on the surface : external c : presenting only an appearance without substance or significance"

Click the link and tell me there's not a passing resemblance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JagerSS (talk • contribs) 15:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The issue is not the resemblance, it is whether this is noteworthy, especially considering what you are comparing it too. Some actors (for example) bear a passing resemblance to other actors, doesn't mean we need to litter wikipedia with the comparison. magnius (talk) 15:40, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Really though, it bears more than a "passing" resemblance. I only included passing to deflect from accusations that I was drawing a link. (I'm not). But both logos are from Germany from 1930-1950. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JagerSS (talk • contribs) 17:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The similarity of the logos is insignificant, and even if it were significant, it would not be relevant to this article but would belong in an article about the SS or about logos.Wahrmund (talk) 18:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I have to agree. I would even say it does not belong in either article unless there is a source establishing a connection between Jägermeister and the SS. Given the origin of the logo, it is not unlikely both had the same symolism in mind when choosing the logo, in which case, the resemblence is not notable and should not be included. — Edokter  •  Talk  • 20:49, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

This seems to be trivia. The claim of resemblance is original research without a source. If only one passing resemblance is mentioned, it prejudices reader opinion about the provenance of the logo. AtSwimTwoBirds (talk) 16:43, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Definitely OR without source. Garycompugeek (talk) 17:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree, needs sourcing or it is OR. It might be speculated that there is a common origin - do some research and it might turn out to be of interest. Here is a free starting point: --FormerIP (talk) 22:43, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

If you are going to say an alcholic drink resembles the SS, then we would have to argue too that the beck's beer "key" symbol looks like the symbol of the 1st SS........get over it, they resemble each other but that doesnt make the company nazi supporters, grow up people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.246.58.133 (talk) 20:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

The Jaegermeister logo (in particular also the "st" part) is set some sort of variant of the Fraktur_(script) typefaces, that predate the SS for centuries. More latinized type faces and handwriting were only becoming popular in Germany during the later days of the Weimar Republic before that almost everything type set or hand written in Germany was done this way. For instance, my grandmother still writes this way as she was taught in school in the 1920s. The Nazis did try to reverse this trend somewhat, but didn't really succeed. Indeed, the SS custom type face (present on some type writers) was fashioned to look somewhat like this traditional script, but actually isn't using the Fraktur SS but their own design (only logical from their point of view in the sense that the SS hardly saw themselves as traditionalists, and that is what the Jaegermeister logo was supposed to evoke). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.206.10.40 (talk) 22:01, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Two editors are involved in a childish, tit for tat, edit war regarding the best way to display the way that one should pronounce the name of this product. This is an issue that needs discussion and consensus rather than endless reverting. magnius (talk) 20:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The consensus has been made at WP:Pronunciation, unless there is some unstated reason that this word is different? kwami (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's been consensus for years that pronunciation information is given in IPA in Wikipedia; in addition, English pronunciations (but not pronunciations for words in other languages) may also be given in respelling in addition to the IPA. +Angr 21:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

There is NO consensus on this issue. WP:Pronunciation is only a guideline -- the tag at the top explicitly cautions editors to use common sense, which Kwamikagami is not doing. My position is based on common sense, usefulness to the average Wikipedia reader, and the interests of the encyclopedia [quoting from WP:COMMON with emphasis as in the original].

Almost every Wikipedia reader, when he encounters an IPA pronunciation, simply ignores it as just so much visual "noise" and goes on to something that he can understand. He learns absolutely nothing about the pronunciation of the word. The sound-alike pronunciation in the Jagermeister article is perfectly clear and immediately provides him with the pronunciation. Kwamikagami's reversion to IPA symbols is a disservice to the reader and a detriment to Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, I am going to be out of the country and off-line for about a month, but will return to this issue when I get back.Wahrmund (talk) 00:03, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * This makes no sense whatsoever. No-one is saying that there shouldn't be a respelling--I even cleaned it up for you and linked it to a key so that it wouldn't be ambiguous. What you're arguing is that if you don't like something, it shouldn't be there, and screw everyone else. Okay, the average Americans ignores the metric system 'as just so much visual "noise" and goes on to something that he can understand.' Therefore, instead of supplementing metric with Imperial, should I go on a righteous crusade to delete all metric measurements because they're 'a detriment to Wikipedia'? Common, this is utterly ridiculous. kwami (talk) 01:07, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

"Please do not change the English pronunciation here to an IPA pronunciation, which is meaningless for 99% of Wikipedia readers." How silly. Imagine a similar note in the article on the Riemann zeta function: "Please do not use contour integrals on this page; they are meaningless to 99% of Wikipedia readers." Kwamikagami's solution is perfect: display both the precise, scientific IPA transcription and the easy-to-read. Why the hell would anyone remove the IPA? If you can't understand it, skip over it and read the respelling. Strad (talk) 23:30, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment via RFC. Definitely go with IPA, and right next to the name. Compare Häagen-Dazs, Vichyssoise, SEAT. This appears not to be done universally, but it's consistent with the practice at Wiktionary; and Manual of Style (pronunciation) is thoroughly clear that it's standard. "Use common sense in applying it; it will have occasional exceptions" doesn't mean "ignore if it you happen not to like it" regarding the core statement of WP:MOS-P. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 19:46, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment via RFC. Include IPA in lead paragraph (not in a footnote), per Gordonofcartoon and Manual of Style (pronunciation). -- JN 466  02:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Yet Another Comment via RFC. IPA beside the name as is pretty much universal across English Wikipedia. Better and more consistent pronunciation guidance, than sound-alike pronunciation, could be provided by using sound recordings.

Btw... please don't describe edit-wars (or by implication the editors who engage in them) as childish. Just because stuff doesn't seem to be important to you, doesn't make it childish and, in any case, using that kind of language is unlikely to help resolving disputes (or making friends). — Blue-Haired Lawyer 15:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Consensus looks pretty clear; I've restored the IPA and pronunciation guide to prime location. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 03:00, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

German IPA
Would someone add IPA for the German pronunciation of the word? Seems a little silly to include only an English pronunciation of a German beverage's name. LokiClock (talk) 10:51, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there any difference? Unless there's some major difference in stress, as far as I can tell - unlike the mangling of "Löwenbräu" - the English pronunciation of "Jägermeister" is the German. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 11:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I changed it to the German translation but someone reverted back to the incorrect English-influenced pronunciation. The letter ä is not pronunced "ei", but as in the first syllable of apple. Jacob Lundberg (talk) 14:46, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I changed it back from the incorrect German pronunciation to the correct English pronunciation. German <ä> is [ɛ] or [ɛː] (or, in some places, [e] or [eː], but nowhere—as far as I know—like the [æ] of English apple), and German  is [ɐ] when unstressed. I have added the German IPA transcription alongside the English one. Strad (talk) 17:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * but nowhere—as far as I know—like the [æ] of English apple)
 * Agreed. The rest seems to be getting confused by regional variation. The "maɪstɐ" vs "maɪstər" part isn't a German/English difference but one depending on the rhoticity of where you happen to be, and you'll find both variants in both countries. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 03:11, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Merge with Jägerbomb article
The [Jägerbomb] article has a suggestion of merger tag on it; but there's no discussion about it here, so in a few days time, I'll check back here, and if there's still no relevant discussion on the matter, I'll remove the tag. Thanks. ScottMacGregor1985 (talk) 05:11, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I couldn't wait. That tag was 5 months old. I've removed it. something lame from CBW 08:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

removed "elk's blood" again
Again I removed the "elk's blood" rumor. Statements like "jager does not contain elk's blood" and a parody ad aren't encyclopedic content. We don't need a list of what it is not. Being on snopes doesn't make trivia noteworthy. -- Esoteric Rogue  Talk  08:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The bit about the elk's blood is not there because it's on Snopes. Snopes is there to reference that Jägermeister does not contain elk's blood. The bit about elk's blood is there because it is such a common myth, more so than just mere trivia. While I can't be sure I suspect that one of the reasons people look at this article is to confirm that Jägermeister does not contain elk's blood. something lame from CBW 09:08, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I was hoping that was a link to the WP common myth policy. I perused a bit of your google search, including the Washington Post article, yet a reliable source would be a bartenders handbook that bothered to mention the fact.  I doubt that any do, because it's just not commonly believed enough to have a noteworthy effect on society.  The myth isn't even credible, it's just a story to frighten children -- such things could be (and are) said of any comestible.  I mean, if I look up "Broccoli" I do not expect to see "Contrary to popular belief, broccoli does not put hair on your chest."  (Whew, I am glad that it doesn't say that.)--  Esoteric Rogue  Talk  10:35, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not only is this trivia, I believe it is "inconsequential trivia" that doesn't even belong in a trivia section. (What notable event came about because Jager was thought to contain blood?)  Please consider the bottom line fact presented by the myth.  "Jager does not contain blood".  We should not have a (logically infinite) list of what the subject is not.--  Esoteric Rogue  Talk  12:01, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Common myths can be, and are, included in an article even if the are not credible. While probably more prevalent than the elk's blood myth there is such things as "In later decades, the more drastic of these measures were increasingly replaced with psychological techniques, such as warnings that masturbation led to blindness, hairy hands or stunted growth. Some of these persist as myths even today.", which is of course from the masturbation article. In this case I think that the myth is widespread enough to warrant inclusion. And of course we are not going to include a list of what it is not because nobody is saying that it contains any other odd ingredient. something lame from CBW 12:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Leberkleister / Jaegermeister
I had inserted a picture as reference for Jaegermeister being called "Leberkleister" in Germany. The reference was taken out again by someone else. I am German and from Wolfenbuettel (where Jaegermeister comes from) and have no idea what kind of reference is needed for an expression that is colloquial. There is no entry in the Duden (a German word reference) but everyone (and I mean: everyone) knows that Leberkleister is an expression for Jaegermeister (because its obviously not good for your liver). There's also definitively no other use for "Leberkleister" but the direct reference to "Jaegermeister". I put a reference into the text now that links to Google-results from German websites mentioning "Leberkleister". If that's no proof that the word "Leberkleister" is being in use in Germany then I don't know what else to put there as a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.114.189.12 (talk) 06:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Find a published source - surely newspapers/mags will have mentioned it? Note that Google searches aren't considered valid sources on Wikipedia. 86.141.146.98 (talk) 21:36, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * It might be hard to find a printed citation for Leberkleister, but it is in fact a common joke term for Jägermeister. Wahrmund (talk) 22:39, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * It ain't that common. I mean, I've heard it, and probably some people have, but it isn't widely in use. At least not where I live (Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg). We can leave it in, but it's not that widespread and in my opinion more of an old joke that isn't that funny anymore. Probably more of a seventies/eighties thing. 91.32.15.227 (talk) 19:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Leberkleister?
Ok i'm from germany too i live near Düsseldorf and neither I nor any of the people I just asked have ever heard of the Term Leberkleister in reference to Jägermeister. Around here its usualy refered to as Hörnertee (wich would Translate to Horntea or Antlertea) and I'm certain that Term is also used in Berlin and Hamburg for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.57.212.95 (talk) 18:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Me too, never even heard of it before. It certainly isn't used often enaugh to be mentioned on Wiki. - Blasberuf, 1.3.10, 22:11 MEZ

Tar Ball
There is a new use for Jagermeister in New Orleans -- the tar ball. Jagermeister and grape jello go into one ounce shot cups. Rachel Maddow had one on the air live on Friday, June 04. She approved... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.153.56 (talk) 13:21, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Facts added without citation
I had a tour of the Jager factory in Wolfenbuttel on Monday, and got a load of facts and info from the tour guide. I'll quite happily add them to the article but I'll be unable to link to any verifiable source (unless a photo of my notes will do). Is this worth doing or will it all just get reverted?

 * Unfortunatly, your visit and notes are not verifiable, so anything you add would be reverted. You could cross reference your notes with online sources and see if you can get any matches of course, then you have something to back up your additions, but please read WP:SOURCES to decide whether the source is usable.  If in doubt, just ask for advice on a source here :) magnius (talk) 13:53, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll leave it then, probably why the article is missing so much information. 213.182.108.191 (talk) 15:43, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
