It's Miller Time!

Celebrating 50 Years of Miller Beer With Limited Edition Gimmick Products

It's Memorial Day weekend and after we've thanked and remembered our troops, what better way to spend the extra day off work than sitting down to enjoy some limited edition anniversary special releases from one of the top beer conglomerates?

This is going to be quick because I have to get back to standing around with the fellas saying "uhyup" King Of The Hill style. I just wanted to drop a quick review after spotting these irresistible items in the grocery store.

The Golden Can

Hey, it's beer! If you've ever tasted Miller Lite beer, then this will be instantly recognizable to your mouth as the exact same beer, but in a golden colored can. I got a twelve-pack of 16oz cold ones for a cool $13.99. Is this a good deal? I don't even know anymore! It should keep you and your buddies fueled for a few yard games this weekend, though.

THE ORIGINAL LIGHT BEER SINCE 1975
Inside is a fine pilsner beer, brewed with the highest quality ingredients. We use choice hops from the Pacific Northwest as well as noble Saaz hops and deliver more taste, aroma, and color with only 96 calories per 12 oz. Cheers to another 50 years of Miller Time.

Limited Edition Pringles Flavors

Featuring: Grilled Beer Brat & Beer Can Chicken

First, some pictures:

Shouldn't these go to the top?

Similar in appearance

The Beer Can Chicken looks like it has more flavor

Upon opening the can you are hit with the underwhelming aroma of Pringle (cooked potato mush). It's hard to smell anything decidedly BRAT (summer) or chicken about either. Though as you can see the chicken flavor has a little more color to it in the flavor powder.

Flavor

Hey I'm just going to get right to it. Both are basically flavorless. They taste like a salty potato-y snack, but neither have anything close to the flavor described on the label. In a blind taste test, you might say it's a regular Pringle with a strange after-taste. These have flavor the same way a La Croix has flavor, maybe not even that strong. 

And, the Beer Brat chip is thicker and stronger in a bad way, in a too thick and too stale way. The chicken flavor is at least light and crispy like a regular Pringle.

Neither have any hint of beer either, despite listing "beer extract" as an ingredient. Also, notably, these don't contain alcohol, but are for adults only? Is this type of brand-collab some sneaky loophole to advertise alcohol products to children?

I didn't realize this had bioengineered ingredients. Really makes you think

Check out the ingredients. Stock up before RFKJr bans these!

Summary

These are bad! A waste of money! If you're crushing Miller Lite beers and want something to munch on, you could do worse. It's fine as a chip if you like Pringles. But if you want to buy something because it's a limited edition special flavor, then you will be disappointed in these. I'm going to try to reuse the tubes as coozies. They look like they should hold 2 standard size cans.

Did Pringles fall off??? (online research indicates, yes. for instance they no longer put green specks on the sour cream & onion flavor to visually evoke green onion particles)

Have safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend!
