When you had to wonder if you could accelerate onto the highway in front of that semi or not ... ahh those were the days
Oh Trust me, plenty of people still pull out in front of that semi without enough room to accelerate, I’m not sure if many of them have enough brain activity to Wonder if they have room or not

I dunno, even suggesting Old E as a replacement for proper beer makes you sound like both a redcoat and a cheapskate. We could revise that down.
Just hoping nobody would want it but everyone called my bluff. I know exactly one person who drank that shit and it was in a brown paper bag because even they knew it was wrong.

If you're retired you don't need the business in the front anyway.

Or they will just take enough to make the rest look incomplete and leave it in an ugly building

Leaving the social commentary about Bud to the side, I've always preferred beer with flavor so I wouldn't drink it, but I'd have Terry ship it to me just so I could film me wasting it and show it to him.

The Bud Lite Platinum was like slightly malty water that fucked you up real quick. Was pretty good when I was in my 20s

Still, I'd use it for target practice after Terry shipped it to me. Just to be a dick to a stranger on the Internet for a laugh.

Aww C’mon, any dumb ass advertising screw up that bad should be made fun of …. and deservedly so. Just think of the fun if Terry offered Bud Light 😃
Agree on beer- prefer amber or some dark unless it gets too bitter. 🍻

I subscribe to Consumer Reports (CR). Will continue to do so.

And I love my Jeep (23 JLU XR 2.0T). 20,000 miles so far with zero issues. Too bad they get a bad rep. From the latest Nov/Dec issue:

Let me see if I get this straight. You subscribe to Consumer reports even though you don't believe what they say because you form your own conclusions and opinions on a product. Is that about right? 😀
