 Posted: 10/28/03 - 14:29 Post subject: Mich Ultra Commercial
has anyone seen this new commercial for the "low carb" beer?
It has a runner, going up stairs, whatever...
At the end, a guy gives her an Ultra, because it's healthy.
Ummm... Don't runners want carbs? I'm confused?

No, nobody wants carbs. They're on the same level as cigarettes.

Your outrage is somewhat misdirected, coach. You shouldn't be wondering why a runner would want lower carbs, but rather why any sane person would want to drink that sh!t. It's putrid. JUST SAY NO.

You should be, because you have common sense. I get the whole low-carb thing, but really, low-carb beer? Honestly, that's just f'n offensive.

OK, I feel better now.
And...I've never tried it. But, how good could low carb beer be?

They gave that crap out for free at the end of my marathon relay a couple of weeks ago. Free beer and I could only force down two of them. Whiz water is all it is. No taste at all.

The skill of the A-B brewers is truely astounding. How anyone can throw so much stuff in a brew and still churn out water is utterly remarkable.

I'm going on the 100% protein diet.
With a combination of  and Xenical Fat Blocker, the only thing left for me to absorb is protein. I'll be huge/thin in no time!

Miller lite isn't far off from what Michelob is stating. I think ML is like 3.1 carbs and Mich is 2.95. Either way,

I guess I am not a very discriminating beer drinker. I have tried it and I didn't think it was that bad?
I guess I will have to leave now.
