DC Tom Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 If she wanted to sell fake beer, why didn't she just sell Coors Light?

kasper13 Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 "Can't get enough of that Wonderful Duff....." Personally, I prefer Fudd. Actually, there is a whole line of Duff Beer merchandise available- playing cards, posters, key chains, bowling shirts, t-shirts, bumper stickers, coasters, ect. all officially licensed Simpsons merchandise. Duff Beer was actually brewed in Australia in 1998. Simpson's creator Matt Groenig took legal action and won. Production was halted and very few cases/cans exist today. See the real can of Duff here http://beer.trash.net/beerpage.php?beernum=241 The woman sold the beer without actually having it and will spend 8 months in the joint. Have fun.
