They should be focusing on quality. However, they start out with inferior products and make an inferior beer. Might as well do something flash to take people’s mind of the fact that they are drinking crap. It’s a bit like watching a nurse distract an infant with something while the doctor puts the needle in. Only these are beer babies watching a flashy can instead of what’s happening.

…Oh, bummer: on a closer reading of this, I see that the mountains-turning-red-instead-of-blue thing didn’t actually… happen. I’m very disappointed; there would have been poetic justice in that. So the recall was actually a recall on account of the quality of the ACTUAL PRODUCT. So, sounds like maybe Coors ought to be focusing more on the quality of their product than on labels that turn blue if they’re “certifiably cold” or whatever their asinine phrasing is.

I don’t watch enough television, I guess, because I just became aware of this Cold-Activated Can thing tonight. It has to be the stupidest, most misguided marketing gimmick ever. (Actually, there must be worse ones, but I really can’t think of one.) Recall or not (and yes, recalling a flawed product is the right thing to do, but is it possible that this is the first product recalled, ever, because of a flaw IN ITS LABEL?), this idea will not last. It’ll last slightly longer than Starbucks’ “sipping chocolate” (that is, super-super-super-super-super-strong hot chocolate) did.

Howard, that is a good point.

When I used to tend bar, I had regular customers who only drank one variety of american light beer. If you tried to pull one over on them, like give them a bud light in stead of a coors light, they would know and send the beer back.

I respect the recall. I wish I could have sampled a tainted can to see what the error was.

The one I heard ( which is actually plausible) was that they accidentally put Keystone Light into Coors Light cans. All joking aside, it’s good to see a company put their customers first and pull a product that wasn’t right.

3 or 7? I put them in reverse order.
It actually took me a while to compile this list…I had writer’s block.

Damn, I was going to say something along the lines of 3.
