Miller Lite offering free beer for Super Bowl fans who type out 'ridiculously long calorie-burning URL'

There’s nothing beer brands will stop at to win consumers’ attention and affection during the Super Bowl commercial breaks. And this year, Miller Lite is roasting a competitor by hosting a giveaway for free beer whenever Michelob Ultra’s ad plays during the big game.

Miller's beef with Michelob stems from the latter's promotion of its 95-calorie beer as a healthier alternative to Miller Lite’s 96 calories. But the Molson Coors pilsner is making the case that its one extra calorie is worth it — and even makes all the difference. So when the Michelob ad airs during Super Bowl LV on Sunday, Miller Lite fans are invited to type an 836-character URL into their search browser to score $8 for a signature six-pack.

Their reasoning? Miller Lite claims that "burning one calorie is as simple as typing in a ridiculously long URL."

Typing out “Who Cares?” would be the best that I can muster.

Not interested in the Snowflake Bowl nor that swill that Miller Brewing passes off for beer.

I guess they never heard of Copy/Paste. If it’s an image, convert image to text, then Copy/Paste.

This year was the first time in my life that my mother had to tell me who was in the Super Bowl. I really had no idea.

Free Miller Lite isn’t worth typing eight characters for, much less 836...

First, not watching. Second, I have been blessed that I don’t need to do foolish things to buy a ~$6 item.

What if I type in “black lives matter” 100 times? Will I get a free malt liquor?

Worth a try, it has to be better than Miller Lite.

It is for me. Since my retired softball buddies don't care what beer is shared at the picnic table after our games, I figure I can save whatever the cost is of the six pack when it's my turn to bring the beer if I win.

As a side note, a few years ago when I was turning onto the road to my subdivision I spotted a case of 48 cans of Kirkland beer scattered along side of the road that likely had fallen off the bed of a pickup truck.

Being the conservationist that I am, I turned around and went back and started picking up the debris. I think I ended up with about 30 cans of unblemished to mildly blemished cans of beer that served as my weekly contribution of beer to the picnic table crowd.....LOL!

I have never had Kirkland products but hear they are highly rated.

Can't offer an opinion because there was no way I was going to imbibe of any of those cans I picked up on the side of the road........LOL !
