Now we're going to have 12oz, 11.3oz, and 10oz...
Why Would Anyone Buy a Bow Tie-Shaped Beer Can That Actually Gives You Less Beer?

I love that the title actually asks why anyone would buy a beer that has less in it.

I find it marketing genious that they spent tons of capitol on can redesign to improve sales of crappy beer. Wide mouth, vent top, vortex, aluminum bottles all have tons of fans.

Why would anyone buy a stocking cap that looks like a beard, or a truck hitch that looks like a pair of hairy nads? Or even a little swatch of fabric to cover up your intermammary cleft?

This is America, damn it! We buy stupid ####!

I gotta say, I like the aluminum bottles. The beer seems to get colder. Maybe it's just me.:shrug:

Aluminum bottles were developed so that folks coud get the glass bottle experience at the race tracks, without the dangers of broken glass. (Race tracks don't allow glass bottles).

Hell, I'll take a 10oz, pour out 2 ounces and squish the middle of the can if you want bow tie shaped. and sell it to you 1 for the price of 2!

ALCOA Aluminum developed the bottles in Pittsburgh, Iron City was the first to test them. Budweiser was the first beer to use them.

Nothing like drinking out of a fence post.

BTW, do you realize just how many people pay the same price at bars for 10oz cans?

 

[EvolutionIsBS]

12oz can and draft Bud have a more bitter taste compared to the sweeter tasting 10oz Bud can.

Different recipes I guess.

All comes out of the same million gallon tank of piss water :shrug:

If you are selling good beer, you can sell it in a bucket. If you are selling bad beer, you might need to get a little more creative.

Plus, they ain't American no more anyway.

Where the 10-Ounce Bud Is the King of Beers : NPR

Once or twice a week, a tractor-trailer arrives at the warehouse of the Guy Distributing Company from Houston, where the beer is brewed and canned. Glenn Guy, whose father and uncle founded the company, is a 10-ounce drinker himself, but he can't explain exactly what the difference is.

"There is none," Guy says, referring to the fact that all Budweiser is brewed in the same huge vats. "We've even had people with a taste-test situation, and they've been able to pick the 10-ounce out. But there's no difference, there can't be."

It's because the pansy asses that drink it can't drink it fast enough so the last 2 ounces end up warm.
