I just noticed a new Coors ad about colour changing labels. I guess their customers now need to know when it tastes like cold.

I think your average Coors Light drinker doesn't have the mental capacity to determine hot and cold by mere touch alone.Tapsucker wrote:I just noticed a new Coors ad about colour changing labels. I guess their customers now need to know when it tastes like cold.

It's nothing new as the star on the Newcastle Brown Ale bottle used to change colour when the beer was at the 'optimum' coldness. And this was waaaaayyyyy back in the early 90's. Still, it's a really dumb idea and as is the advert. I guess all that cold beer just eventually freezes your brain and you turn stoopid

The zywiec bottles have had that spellbinding 'technology' for quite some time as well. Really tho, this is a pretty tame, however hackneyed example of marketing if you think about it. I mean, coors has apparently devoted themselves to searching for an ever lower common denominator to appeal to in their adverts.
I have one of their beer glasses that does that sort of thing. There's a patch on it that changes colour to show a sailboat. Despite the gimmick, it's a nice glass, big and heavy like my martini glasses (took a while to find those suckers.)lagerale wrote:I thought there was something on the Robert Simpson bottles when they first came out that changed colour on it....whatever floats your boat....

I used to have a cup which slowly revealed Slimer from Ghostbusters when it had hot liquid poured into it. Unfortunately, my gran was over-exuberant in washing it one day, and Slimer was well and truly busted. The next time I had my cocoa, no ghost.
