Heineken Soars Where Pepsi Crashed and Burned....

It is now, biotch, because both those commercials are awful.

Trumer

Dude, you cannot get Trumer everywhere, that is silly. Go walk yourself into an Applebee's, a Chili's, and a Mexican Bandas Bar and see much Trumer you can get. Probably all those places have a Heineiken or a PBR available. It ain't the best, but if you take your drinking seriously, you work with what you got, where you get it.

I mean, I'm a single malt scotch man, and pontificate about it all day long, but if we're drinking Jack Daniels, well, we're drinking Jack Daniels.

:dunno

No, the Pepsi commercial is mildly annoying, but kind of funny, because it upset people, and the Henieken commercial I couldn't even be bothered to sit through. I tired, but was too annoyed after the first 30 seconds or so to stick with it.

They both are trying to sell the concept of people finding way to overcome their differences and finding common ground and togetherness.

1) I am very hostile to sales/marketing in general. Essentially anything that is an effort to manipulate what it is I decide that I want.

2) The base concept of people working to overcome their differences and find common ground to get together is also annoying to me. I believe in not caring what other people want and them not caring what I want. We should leave each other alone. My philosophy is live and let live, but don't' live too close to me. Hyperactivated independence and individuality. These commercials do not do a very good job of respecting that philosophy.

Wheat beers are traditionally unfiltered. Weihnstephan is an excellent example of a hefe.

Now you got me curious so I did some checking. Seems the filtered version is called kristallweizen and I'd probably like that better. Think I saw it in Bevmo from the same brewery.

I'd rather stuff pineapples in my ass than eat at applebees or chilis :laughing and if I'm going to mexican you'd better believe I'm drinking Modelo. I've got no qualms about drinking PBR or Jack if we're talking about getting hammered. PBR is better than Heineken imo

Yeah, I put PBR and Heineken at about the same. Prefer PBR if in Can, Heine if in Bottle. Corona in Bottle if Mexican, lime wedge is optional, so is salt. I prefer Stout, personally, but I don't like beer that much. I'm a whiskey man.

My good drinking buddy is a firm beer supporter though. His motto is, "Bad Beer is better than No Beer."

I suspect you have a secret 6 pack of Budweiser at home you self loathingly drink when no one is watching though.

If you can't roll the sediment around, it's not a Weissbier I want to drink.
 
hopefully the full version they come on and say 'the common thing that all of these people also have in common, is that they are raging alcoholics', then they time lapse them drinking 20 heinekens apiece and beating the shit out of each other or having sloppy, unprotected sex.

Don't forget nasty, smelly beer farts a little while after that.
 
Absolutely nothing wrong with using a positive message to sell a product. They could bottle "RAPE FUEL" and show a super offensive commercial that'd probably sell even more beer, but why not send a nice message *and* sell a product? If everyone participated at this level with any type of media, you'd improve the quality of the average person. It's no different than the cartoons we watched as kids with the good guys with hyper-morals catching bad guys and whatnot, all to sell commercial time while pushing kids to be good people. The profit side does cheapen it a bit to those who are aware of it, but we have to realize the percentage of people who are incredibly unaware. We need ads like this for those people.
