01/27/2005 Entry: "Budweiser Extra"
Michael at Cruftbox found a truly repellent product at his local 7-11: Budweiser Extra! This is beer with added caffeine, ginseng, guarana extract, and natural flavor. Yikes! He does his duty and taste-tests it. There's a picture, too.

I don't know what you guys are talkin' about. All I can say is, B-to-the-E is G-R-E-A-to-the-T! It now replaces coffee in my morning routine...I don't know how i ever lived without it! I mean come on...you can now get drunk without passing out...God bless America.

It's a soft-core version of the idea that using cocaine while drinking enables one to get drunker without passing out, a technique that I believe is known in the highest circles of government.

I don't drink Bud owned beers since they donate to the GOP. That and it tastes like fizzy pee. It is really sad that they now own Redhook.

About a month ago I bought the ESPN magazine for airplane reading fodder. The center was a two page ad for this pond scum. The stewardess looked over my shoulder and said, "EWWWWWWWW who would drink that?"
BTW - a spit take is only a spit take when it's a reaction to something some one said.

So why would you mix caffeine with a depressant? To negate the depressant aspect of alcohol? Does that even work?

It sounds vile.
I'm guessing, before actually following the link, that the picture will involve beer-like product approaching the camera lens at high speed, as Michael spews it out. (Comedians call this a spit-take. There's a technical term for everything.)
(follows link, checks)
Michael has better taste than I do. Wast of a good can design.
