Random (Tuesday): Weird Crap At 7-11, Part 1

[zrath]

Bud Light and Clamato! Two great tastes that apparently taste great together! For somebody!
The can is labelled in English and Spanish.

Anybody know what this is all about?


Edit: Apparently, it's based on a Mexican drink called "Chelada".
Take a glass full of ice cubes, squeeze some lemons and/or limes in it, then pour a dark Mexican beer in there.
It's supposed to be very refreshing.

Anheuser/Busch decided to make its own version with Clamato, because they're insane.
They have two versions: Budweiser Chelada (red label) and Bud Light Chelada(blue label).
I call them both "ClamaBud".

ClamaBud is reviewed here. The first reviewer says:
"This is actually pretty tasty though and would be a good breakfast beer."
Hmmmmmmm, breakfast beer...

Negro Modelo is one of the beers given as an example for making a 'real' Chelada.

I noticed the Clamabuds when a Latino woman put two cans on the counter at my local 7-11 and paid for them.
They're big ol' 24oz cans, you can't miss 'em!

What's next? PeptoBud? BudV8? BudSmoothie? SnapBud? SobeBud? Sheesh...
