Do You Suck At Math?
« 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.

Technically, they were trying to say they were able to steal 33% of dedicated bud drinkers in a head to head taste test. Still, it does sound funny.

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.

That's what happens when you employ the right ad agency.

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.

I may have been part of this survey ;D

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.

I couldn't drink either for money.  I get spoiled in what beers go in my mouth.

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.

I don't think you're following.  It's a "blind" test.  They don't want to tip you off or color your opinion.
