    "I look forward to more technological innovations that uphold the proud American tradition of putting far more effort into the container than the beer it holds."

    Best part of the clip.

    I think that was the line that made me want to share it here. These guys just can't help themselves from coming up with idiotic gimmicks to distract people from how shitty their beer tastes. I 'd seriously love to sit in on some of their marketing meetings just to find out what kind of ideas didn't make the cut. What ever happened to that label with space to write your phone number on it BTW?

    There were probably too many bored liquor store clerks drawing dicks on random bottles. Not that I did that or anything. :flushed:

    The stalker factor is what I immediately thought of. If this were offered in a crowded night club there is no way at least a couple dudes wouldn't use it to creep.

    Sad but true. Keep up the good work Budweiser.

    I hate Facebook and Budweiser. Win-win.

    Hate will blacken your heart. Choose only to love what you can and understand everything else.

    Colbert defeats Inbev and MillerCoors by way of flawless victory. Fatality.

    Wait a minute, so I can just go around the bar randomly clinking my buddy cup against all the super fly babes cups and viola, we are FB friends??? This is fucking ingenious, and a stalkers dream. I like it

    I bet someone is going to link their ex's or friend's FB to the cup and clink to as many creepy people they can find.

    It's all part of AB's decades-long marketing message: "Drink our beer and you'll instantly be waist-deep in hotties"
