Buftex Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Possibly the worst ads ever. Which ads are those? There are so many bad, recurring ad campaigns, it's hard to keep them all straight. If it it is the ones with the NFL coach press conferences, I agree...they were never funny, and get less funny with each passing year...
BuffaloBill Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I don't get the vortex bottle ... what the heck is that supposed to do? Does it make the crappy beer suddenly taste better? I can't imagine anyone thinking that a vortex bottle adds anything to their "beer experience."

Rob's House Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Despite having comic genius Bob Sidell from Office Space, the "More Taste League" commercials fell flat. Delivery can only do so much when the material is ****. I did like the "I can't taste my beer!" commercials that were taking a shot at Bud Lite, which I consider beer for people who hate the taste of beer. I prefer a stout or IPA, but as far as American lite beer, Miller really does have more beer flavor than the competition. Which ads are those?

Granted, just like the "Real Men of Genius" commercials, they get progressively worse with each passing year.
Doc Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 The vortex allows you to suck down that swill faster, so you don't have to taste it and can get drunk faster so that you don't care how it tastes anyway. Smart thinking on their part.

McBeane Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 "Shotgunning" provides the same result. You're on your own if you are planning on shotgunning a glass bottle
Buftex Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Oh yeah...I almost forgot about those...they are awful... Thing is, I love beer, but I wouldn't consider Miller, Bud, etc beer....I would rather not drink beer if those are my only options...my fridge always has a 6-pack (sometimes only 2 or 3 left) of Newcastle...but I also love all the Lieninkugle beers (Sunset is awesome!) or Brooklyn Lager...all the cheap domestic stuff is garbage. I used to like Michelobe and OV...still like OV!

I thought the Fireside Nut Brown was great the first year, but subsequent years have been disappointing. Same with the Summer Shandy, I thought this years brew was horrible. I had a nice Sam Adams the other day you might like, try the Cherry Wheat if you have not already... Edited March 7, 2011 by TheMadCap

Is it 1000X better than bottled beer, IMO.

Smart thinking on their part. I thought it was supposed to "aerate" the beer so it "tastes better". Like how you let a fine wine breathe. Except that a fine wine is a fine wine, and Miller Lite is swill.

There is equal probability that a KIA Spectra will turn into a 599 GTO Ferrari by placing it in the open air and sunshine.
