This reminds me of the HP/Compaq merger....two companies who make crappy products coming together to make more crappy products.
It reminds me of this joke:
The CEO’s of Budweiser, Coors, Miller and Guinness were all having lunch together.
A waiter approached the table and asked what they would like to drink. The CEO of Budweiser responded: “Make mine a Bud.”. The CEO of Coors stated that he would like a Coors. The CEO of Miller asked for a Miller. The CEO of Guinness answered with “Iced tea, please.”
The CEO of Budweiser turned to the CEO of Guinness and said: “Iced tea?” The CEO of Guinness replied: “Well, if none of you are drinking beer, then neither will I.”
Why not? Both are watery, tasteless brews. I suspect both are actually seltzer water with a tinge of food coloring.
Of those four beers, Guiness has by far the lowest alchohol by volume.
I wonder if the Coors people know about the Miller people’s sponsorship of the sado-masochistic “last supper” at the San Francisco gay-fest.
Those Moops made some good beer, too!
Well, if none of you are drinking beer, then neither will I.” LOL.
Not only is that a joke, it is also true. Make mine a black and tan.
Coors and Miller adding more water to a water down product. If you want to drink a real miller (can’t stand it) or coors, go to Canada. More alcohol content in their beer there. They pawn flavor water to us in the states.
They will know shortly if Mr. Donahue has breath in his lungs.
I’ll stick with Tree Frog Beer. Cool, light, refreshing, organic, natural, tasty.
In other crappy merger news, Gateway Computer has purchased Packard Bell. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2193298,00.asp
I don’t drink either. I drink Bud Light.
Well, I remember it, and if this merger goes, then it’s back to Bud for me.
Before I discovered the microbreweries in the US, I had always assumed that Americans are incapable of brewing beer. Now I know better- the major US brewers produce low-alcohol swill while the big brewers here in Canada produce high-alcohol swill.
Doesn’t affect me. I drink Rolling Rock (Owned by AB), and Deschutes Black Butte, which is a Mircro-Brew from Oregon.
Only beer of theirs I drink is Miller Genuine Draft, and that only if a resteraunt doesn’t have any beers I like or a Hefeweizen.
Maybe this is beside the point, but can't they go with Miller-Coors or Miller Coors.
As a former employee of PricewaterhouseCoopers, I hate when they just ram the words together for no reason. MillerCoors is just soooo 90s, soooo late 20th century.
