Miller is marketing their new chill beer pretty hard. The concept is that they include the lime and salt in the bottle (or at least the flavor) so you don't have to add it yourself.
Huh?
Reminds me of a story from my time in Italy. I was at a club called the blob throwing back a few rounds with some friends one evening and got a craving for Corona and lime (I know, Corona is cheap, crappy beer in Mexico, so sue me, I'm from the suburbs). I asked the bartender if they had Corona and she replied "oh we don't have that, but I could put a lime into MGD and that would be similar." Hold on a second, Miller...Seriously? First of all, why she would think that she could fool me into believing Miller was anything like Corona is beyond me. Second of all, have you ever put a lime into MGD? No? Niether have I, and I assume it's because its a terrible idea.
So now Miller is actually making a beer with salt and lime in with it. I guess this Italian bartender got a new job?
I wonder how hard it would really be to work at a big beer company. I've got an award winning suggestion that could make millions of dollars so listen up...make beer that doesn't taste crappy as it warms to room temperature. I know thats literally the most insane idea anyone has ever heard, but I am determined that with enough time, money, and effort it could happen.
Who am I kidding. In Russia people will drink aftershave to get drunk. As long as Miller doesn't taste completely terrible people will drink it to lower inhibition.
At least the aftershave leaves you smelling fresh.
