Was originally a Kickstarter project that launched on July 18, 2012. It had a goal of $110,000 but made $136,723 in total with 3,562 backers. The estimated delivery was supposed to be in February 2013, but suffered through multiple production delays, and after August 5, 2017, it still remained unreleased with no updates until May 27, 2019, when John Kricfalusi released the DVD on his website for sale. A month after the DVD's release, the Short was released online.
Based on the childhood of John Kricfalusi, as his father Michael C. Kricfalusi usually tried to save money by buying label-less cans or cheaper products.
Despite initial reports that Michael Pataki completed his voice work as George Liquor before his death in 2010, it was later revealed that John Kricfalusi recorded dialogue in select scenes.
It was thought to have been cancelled originally, due to there being no Kickstarter updates since August 2017, as well as allegations of sexual abuse against John Kricfalusi reported on in early 2018. However, it was officially released on DVD finished on May 27, 2019, on John Kricfalusi's website.
