Only Beer Drinkers Would Understand
In Amsterdam, a world wide convention of brewers was held.
The presidents of many of the world’s greatest breweries were on hand, and many of them decided to go out for dinner together on the first evening.
The waiter asked what they would like to drink, and the CEO of Miller said, “The Best Beer in the world, an MGD please!”
The president of Budweiser asked for “The King of Beers, make it a Bud!”.
Adolph Coors requested a “From mountain spring water, the clearest beer, a Coors if you don’t mind.”
And so it went around the large table, each president asking for the brew from his own company as if it was the best.
Finally, the waiter came to Arthur Guinness.
“And you sir?” he queried.
“I’ll have a Coke!” was Guinness’s reply.
“A Coke??!?” The waiter was shocked.
“Wouldn’t you rather have a Guinness, sir?”
Arthur looked at the waiter, and gestured to his companions. “Well,” he said, “If they’re not drinking beer, then neither will I!”
In 2007, Dos Equis started its “most interesting man in the world” advertising campaign. The television advertisements feature a bearded, Argentinian man in his 50s or 60s (portrayed by actor Jonathan Goldsmith). In the advertisements there is Spanish music plays in the background while various daring clips are played involving “the most interesting man” such as “his beard has experienced more than other mens’ entire bodies” and displays his when he was younger. Other clips include him freeing an angry bear from a painful-looking bear trap; shoots amazing pool before an Indian audience; catches a marlin with a beautiful Cuban woman; wins an arm-wrestling match (“He’s a lover, not a fighter, but he’s also a fighter, so don’t get any ideas”); surfs the killer wave; and bench presses two East Asian young women in a casino setting, each woman being seated in a chair.
