Did You Know?

A 12 oz. bottle of Yuengling at Creme will set you back $8.

On a related note, the guy from the Miller High Life commercials–the one who makes sure bars don’t overcharge for High Life, because we all deserve to live the high life–is the dancing defensive lineman in the Dr. Pepper ad.

This has been another installment of Did You Know.

    He’s not a defensive lineman, is he? Isn’t that a touchdown dance?

    About the only time a lineman will get a touchdown is when they’re on defense, off of a turnover.

    That’s why he’s so excited about scoring. He recovers a fumble in the endzone for his first career touchdown.

    Ha, i thought I was the only one who thought that was the same guy. I partake of the champagne of beers not all that frequently, but i think those commercials are hilarious.

    “12 dollars for a hamburger, you gotta be kiddin me.”

    I think there should be some sort of federal law stating that a bottle of any beer cannot be sold at more than 40% of the price of a full six-pack at the store. All varieties of Yuengling sixpacks at Giant are between 4.50 and 5.50 for the porter and faux black and tan. there’s no way I’m paying more than 2.50 for a Yuengling at a bar. No chance.

    I did know this! And I was similarly outraged when I learned it, but ultimately decided to shut up about it. Now that I know I have revolutionary compatriots, though, I’m ready to head toward U Street with torches and pitchforks.

    Nobody wants to be that guy complaining about the price of something. That’s lame. But this was just stupid, I thought. Yeah, bars and restaurants are going to mark all kinds of things up, I realize that. But this was just tacky. I was deeply insulted, and I won’t be returning to Creme no matter how good their damn mushrooms are.
