I Love Beer: "In the Can" Bud Light Lime Ad

Saturday, September 12, 2009

I just gained new respect for Bud Light.

War Horse said...: Bud has always had funny ads. One of the reasons they sell so much damn beer. It's just too bad they put nothing but horse urine "in the can."; 5:29 PM
War Horse said...: Now that I've thought about this commercial more, I really hope Bud continues this marketing campaign. In fact, I think the big three should all be forced to sell their products in nothing but cans. I'd have to say that as I walk the streets of the city or ride my bike, 90% of the broken bottles I see are some type of Bud product. That's even more so now that the 40oz has fallen out of favor for the drunks and they've moved on to the tall-boy cans. I'd give anything to go through the streets and not see broken shards of this swill on the curbs and sidewalks. Bravo Bud for one marketing campaign I can finally get behind.; 7:59 PM
Beer Blokes said...: Totally agree with the can vs bottle lament. Same thing occurs over here. And without making light of a sad situation, at least cans are easier to collect and cash-in than broken glass.

Regarding the ads, I can see how they might divide their audience. While it's not an expression we use in Australia, I picked up stright off what the 'gag' was. Do you think they might also look at putting 'beer' in these cans? ;)
