Title: This article makes the incorrect assumption Natural Light is beer. Post by: Shockeye on August 30, 2005, 04:50:52 PM Quote from: St. Louis Business Journal Ad Age: A-B to test caffeinated Natural Light beer (http://biz.yahoo.com/bizj/050830/1157737.html?.v=1) Tuesday August 30, 3:31 pm ET Anheuser-Busch plans to test market a new caffeinated version of Natural Light beer, called Natty Up, Advertising Age reported in its Aug. 29 issue.

Post by: schild on August 30, 2005, 04:52:55 PM Why caffeinate the worst tasting beverage in your line. Before I show an idea for such a thing, I demand they prove that it is, indeed, beer. I smell bullshit, I need to get some kids to try it.

Get it off me! Get it off me!" line to take advantage of the pun, which resonates ever more clearly because of Barney's boozehound nature.
Yup. Someone ought to get on that. Title: Re: This article makes the incorrect assumption Natural Light is beer. Post by: Sky on August 31, 2005, 06:27:18 AM I drink cheap light beer....and won't touch Natty anything.
That said, if I'm at a cheap beer party, I'll swill twenty and regret it later. You don't really taste them after 6, so I recommend shotgunning the first sixpack. It's fun to have party knowledge: My girlfriend and I were in line at wellymart and some guys were buying 6 cases of beer, but were waiting for someone (holding up the line). The guy came back with ping-pong sets..."Couldn't just get the balls, had to get the paddles, too" She looked at me curiously and I replied. "Beer Pong" as if it were completely normal. At one time, it was. I would still lay off before going to court for a DUI, heh. Title: Re: This article makes the incorrect assumption Natural Light is beer.
