It's the bottle shape. The label should be different enough to claim fair use, but the bottle shape is too similar.
Not that any reasonable person would ever mistake the two items.

Roberts believes in institutions...to an extent
He'll be happy to appear before Congress and have a conversation about judicial-ethics reform.
Then he'll thank Congress for its suggestions and opinions, put them in a briefcase, and toss it into the Potomac.
And that will be that.

And my guess is that the SC doesn't have much of a sense of humor.

His Illuminated Majesty's Imperial Air Forces, as is our policy, have no comment on that event.

Woah. I didn't know they made doggie seats for cars. It always annoys me when I see pet owners driving around with their dog(s) running loose in the car -- or worse, on the drivers lap.

Biscuit is looking at the driver like, "Do you even have a license and I want out NOW." Root Beer is opting for pretending she's somewhere else.

Biscuit is very skeptical of my driving, and hasn't even been in an airplane with me yet. Root Beer just knows that sometimes a cookie has fallen in the car seat somewhere and she is gonna make sure before sister finds it.

No. Alito did not “suggest[] that if the LGBT+ community wants equality — a Black Santa should be forced to take pictures with kids dressed in KKK robes.” He’s doing what the Supreme Court has done since its inception - he’s trying to figure out the contours of the parties’ position on the issue. This type of sound-bite reporting irritates the snot out of me.

Yes, this is the classic method of stretching a proposed rule to its extremes, to see if it still works at the margins.
But: there are better methods to do so without this kind of trolling. Its ... "colorfulness" was very intentional.
It is also kind of dumb, as comparing LGBT+ customers (desiring wedding-related services, presumably) to the KKK is not only offensive, but inapt, as I don't believe a Santa actor (of any color) would refuse on religious grounds. Nor would the Santa actor be denying services based on status in a protected class, i.e., the entire point of this SCOTUS case.
