Watching OleMiss whup GA and then a Bud commercial comes on. Vision this:
Millennial sitting at his computer visioning a "sparkling unicorn" raring(?) up in front and above him. Looks up admiringly at his imagined horsee

a) Have sparkling unicorns replaced the Clydesdales?
b) Is this supposed to represent a young millennial making a choice of straight/gay/trans/other?

Pls explain and then just for my own, if (b) is correct, what % of these exist at LSU.

I'll go back to watching game and come back later

PS: I have noticed a lot of this lately with Bud commercials.

They were in New Orleans last Mardi Gras.

We went to see them at the police barn.

Beautiful animals. Breathtaking.

I mean, do they really think that the SJW is their target clientele? fricking dumbass Belgians. Stick to making craft beer, not promoting piss to Americans.

Budweiser still has the Clydesdales, and they still march (trot?) in parades. They don't use them in commercials anymore because Budweiser decided they were a stale image. Stupid decision IYAM, but marketing departments have to justify their salaries by coming up with new plans every now and them.

They still exist, but I bet Bud is seeing how much shite people are giving for using live animals and curtailing their commercial use.

What are they supposed to pull that red wagon full of delicious beer with?

It is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Their exclusive Beechwood Aging produces a taste, a smoothness, and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price. Brewed by their original all natural process using the choicest Hops, Rice and Best Barley Malt.

That wagon deserves a team Clydesdales pulling it.

they are still at the brewery, and at grants farm, and their breeding area near CoMo missouri is thriving.

InBev brought in new advertisement group to get more hipsters and yuppies to their beers.

They have been pushing stella hard, since they hired the new ad group

I remember reading something about Bud doing away with them awhile back but those are some beautiful horses. Ive only seen them in person two or three times, but I love Clydesdales.

It's ironic you started this thread because they were in a parade at Little Rock today. Just watched them March down the street. They had a team of 8 pulling the red Budweiser wagon.

just did the brewery tour, said they had 180 total and 140 at the breeding farm or something like that, would like to see the farm

got to think pulling the brewery tour duty is considered a shite assignment for them

I've seen the team/wagon twice in my life. One thing wanted to do was go to the farm in MO. My recollections go all the way back to very late 50's seeing ads at Christmas...it may have been early 60's, can't remember.

Don't know who stella is, but based on the commercial and today's society, I can take a WAG at it.
