Ok, I have ask why?? Is this another Tennessee thing? A way to keep us Yankees from exploring Tennessee's woods? Go ahead guess.
I am walking through the local market looking for a six of Bud and among the 18,765 varieties of beer now sold at every supermarket, and I notice this. I assumed perhaps AB came out with another Octoberfest or Bock type beer or perhaps even one celebrating our glorious fall. ( I love fall in Tennessee---its still 70 degrees) Perhaps another beer offering, I wondered? No, I soon discovered. Of course NOT, I sooned learned, THIS is Tennessee, after all. These are camoflaged beer cans. Hmmmmm. Why would anyone want a camoflaged beer cans I asked silently. Never having been in the miltary nor having ever hunted I just couldn't figure out why camo?????? Well I said, they do sell camo golf bags, shoes and such and I never saw anyone shoot a deer from a golf cart, so why not camoflaged beer cans? Then it dawned on me: These Madison Avenue genuises may be targeting hunters---no pun intended. No, nah, no way that can happen---- too many Philly lawyers living and trolling outside of Philly to allow that to happen. Then another--rather terrifying-- thought occurred. Maybe, just maybe, the beer can is being "used," so to speak,WHILE hunting and the sight of a silver, blue or red can would scare Bambi right into the nearest AA meeting???? Don't hunters use weapons? Like guns. Like big poweful guns that shoot big nasty bullets??? Do hunters drink beer while holding a 30 ought six with one hand while resting another cold one on its super deluxe scope that can shoot the left ear off a flea on the right side of a deer's ass? No, not in this country and certainly not here in TN. Why in the world would one want or need a camo beer can? Now, I am no expert and I am sure AB's legal eagles thought this through, but do guns and alcohol really go together?? I mean at the SAME TIME!!!!! Beer before playing with a gun sounds dicey. Beer after playing with a gun sounds smarter. Beer while playing with a gun sound really, really stupid. But again i am from the North where Possum is NOT the "other white meat."
Imagine what they would do to a yankee walking through the woods. Blame AB probably. The south is scarier than I thought.

Well at least the "Busch" is in orange, so the other drunk hunters will think twice before shooting you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Has anyone read the logo for Busch in a while?
"Cold as a Mountain stream, smooth as it's name"
Clearly this was not a well thought out marketing ploy, or perhaps it was a genious one???
The last time that I checked there are not many smooth Bush's out there, and as for the Busch vs. Bush question, That I'd imagine most of you are currently thinking about; the only referance to the spelling of "Busch" is that of the beer, and oh yea. That VERY important guy that none of us know of, Adolf Georg Wilhelm (a swiss violinist) who was responsible for the formation of the "Busch Quartet" in 1919.
Something tells me that the people at AB, probably weren't thinking about him. So, one can only assume that "smooth as it's name" means that you're in for a pretty rough beer.
Touche. And NEVER NEVER mention "Bush" as in George W. on my Blog again.Bannned for life is the penalty. Didn't his VP shoot someone in the face while hunting---without BUSCH camoed can or not.
