I just saw an ad on another website that
asked viewers to contact two websites if they were
offended by recent ads for Rolling Rock



Did I miss something???

Now that's a great ad campaign....

Come let us know if we've offended you.
Offended me how? Let me go search. :wink:

Same one... however when you go to the website at the end of the movie, it does appear to be a marketing scheme.

"We're sorry we had an ape dancing with a woman. Studies showed that an ape ranked above a dog, cat, and mouse as animals people associated with a pool party."

you guys think Rolling Rock is bad? I grew up in Buffalo where the most popular locally brewed beer is Genesee. Talk about rancid and which even at $9.99 for a case of 16 oz bottles is still not worth it - even for poor college kids!

Rolling Rock is similar to Corona in my opinion. Light and goes down like water on a summer day.

Worst beer I ever had was a private label brand. I worked in a supermarket when I was in college and they had their own brand of beer. It was $0.69/6 pack and even 35 years ago that was cheap. It sucked. The company's out of business now so nobody's in danger of drinking that stuff anymore. :lol:

Remember the generic brands craze of the late 70's, early 80's? I remember how funny it was, even before I was close to drinking age, to see big yellow cases that just said "BEER"

We had Rolling Rock this summer...but just because they were some of the last bottles to roll off the line before the brewery closed.

"It is the one beer to have when you are having more then one."

Try using that in and ad campaign today and MADD would be all over you.

Another thread had said that Budweiser bought them out or something I think.
