I have a bottle of Lucky Tiger Bay Rum that has been around a couple of years. Today, I shook it up and noticed black floaters inside the bottle. On inspection, I discovered they were small bugs. No other aftershave shows this. But this has sugar (sucrose) as an ingredient. Very weird. Bottle was capped but half full.
Bugs in Lucky Tiger Bay Rum?

Well, don't let it bug you and just keep using it.

I need to check my bottle of Florida Water as it has sugar in it too.
Did you buy "Lucky Tiger Bug Rum" by accident?
Sugar in aftershave?? The horror. Does it leave a sticky film on skin?
Have to wonder how they got into a sealed bottle. 
How do the worms crawl into the Tequila bottle?Have to wonder how they got into a sealed bottle.
Then, how do two worms crawl into two worm Tequila? Can worms actually read labels and count?
Rum bugs, Tequila worms, at least you don't drink Bay Rum, do you?
Maybe you file a Bug Report? 
At least those bugs went out smelling good.
I used to work in a winery and we always had fruit flies everywhere. We'd spray the equipment down with a spray bottle of cheap vodka to keep them off.
Well, sometimes the bottling line would jam with all the full bottles sitting there waiting to be corked and the flies would just load into all the bottles. Then we'd fix the jam and start the line again, corking those flies into the bottles.

How do Clydesdale's fill bottles? I'm kidding! The humans do it!
I was thinking, maybe the bottle was bought in the BX on Bug_ram Air Base in Afghanistan
I guess the bugs are planning a night out. They’ll smell good. For bugs.
Fruit flies would also get into the s-traps installed on the demi-jon corks while our wine was fermenting. The gasses could get out but nothing could get into the vino because of teh water filled traps- except the flies that flew in and drowned in teh trap.
One time i had a vinegar container that was corked, but the cork had a tiny hole in it so the vinegar wouldn't pour out. When i poured out the vinegar onto my salad it was full of ants. Lesson learned there.
A similar thing happened to a Great Uncle of mine, who succumbed to a tragic freak brewery accident.
He fell into a vast beer vat.
The Coroner said it was a slow death. Forensic analysis of footprints showed he got out 247 times to go to the toilet.

Fruit flies are immortal when they don’t drown.
Doesn't Lucky tiger have a flimsy aluminum screw cap? My guess is fruit flies were able to circumvent it.

All life on this planet originated through the decomposition of organic matter. Think of "il formaggio e i vermi;" that is, the way maggots seem to miraculously appear on cheese or other food (or in an uncovered garbage pail) if you leave it outside for a few days in the summer.
