If Superbowl ads are an indicator of trends for the future, we will all be driving electric cars purchased with crypto while holding a seltzer beer really soon. amirite?

I was thinking about how bizarre all of these commercials would seem to someone from 10or 15 years ago.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

The ads were weird last year. The ads this year were even weirder. They're trying way too hard to prove a point. You didn't even know what the product was until the last 5 seconds of the commercial. My kid is way more in touch with what's going on now than I am and he was still confused. We just kind of shook our heads and kept watching the game when it came back on.

Yea it's like they all forgot they are writing for maybe the most general audience event of the year. And went sooooo hard into niche references and inside jokes

Don't worry. They have non-alcoholic beers in seltzer flavors. So... soda.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

So, we need to work out a problem here. Soda is soft drinks. Hard soda is a hard soft drink. This is making my brain hurt. halp

by Anonymous 2 years ago

> Hard soda is a hard soft drink. I've never had one. They seem hot right now. I assume you drink them cold. Are they sweet? I'd prefer not. So I think I'd like to try a hot hard soda that is a cold dry hard soft drink.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I've had the Bud Light Hard Soda - Lime. It pretty much tastes exactly like Sprite. You seriously can not tell that there is alcohol even in it. No bud light after taste or anything.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

It's not exactly a hard taste to mask.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

The seltzers taste more like a soda with a mild hint of alcohol on the aftertaste. They don't taste like beer at all, more like a mixed drink. They can be on the sweet side, but some go full on flavor town (no joke intended, that's just the first way my brain described it) to the point you can't taste the alcohol

Maybe I'm old. And I've never actually tried a seltzer beer. But isn't just the same thing as wine coolers in the 90's? They were "malted beverages with fruit flavors". Sounds very similar.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Wine coolers weren't carbonated. These are more like Zima.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I think the big difference is that wine coolers had a lot more sugar and calories, whereas most of the seltzer beers aka hard seltzers have 90-100 calories and are sugar free.

They taste like carbonated water with weak flavouring but are only 100 calories.

Least among the ones I've tried, the seltzers are significantly less sweet. Pretty light flavor overall. I like them a lot.

Dude the Bud Light Hard Sodas are going to be one of the most dangerous drinks in America. The lime tastes exactly like Sprite. I wouldn't even know it was 5% alcohol or bud light flavored if it was in a cup.

I hear what you are saying. But these ads come from the most wealthy companies paying too much $ for a 30 or 60 second Ad. There is no message there! They just want to make $ There are over 7 Billion people on Earth. 90% don't even know what the Super Bowl is. You are "indicating" only a minute part of this world.
