Title: Do You Suck At Math?
Post by: NoOne=NBA= on August 25, 2007, 09:31:13 pm: I just watched a commercial that I thought was too funny not to share.
Miller did a "survey" of Bud Light drinkers, and found that "over 1/3 of them preferred Miller Lite to Bud Light".

2 out of 3 people don't prefer your product, and you think that's a good thing?
Go figure.

Post by: shmokes on August 26, 2007, 12:32:11 am: Yeah . . . I think the point was, 100% of Miller drinkers like Miller better, and even 33% of bud light drinkers like miller better. It sounds like the commercial is maybe not especially effective, though.

Ad agency 1: "2/3 of the people surveyed kicked us to the curb!"

Ad agency 2: "1/3 of these people loved us!"

Ad agency 3: "We....hiccup...could use shome more...testing material...please....hiccup!"

See...it's all a matter of perspective.

The wife signed me up for market research studies and I got paid to complete a study for Miller.

I got paid $60 to drink 2 beers and fill out a questionnaire on each.

I think one of 'em was a bar rag they used to clean the restrooms with and then wrung out into a glass. I'm guessing that was the Bud Light.

Post by: boykster on August 30, 2007, 01:11:57 am: No...

I don't suck at math, nor do I drink light macro-brew..... ;D

I like to enjoy the beer that I drink, and want it to have some taste :cheers:

If it makes you feel better to say such things, fine.

No sane person would believe such a blatant lie, but perhaps other faux-snooty asshammers might nod "knowingly" in agreement and pretend they couldn't "gag down" a glass either.
