... Goes to Speigel Online for their article, "Czechs on American Bud: 'It's Missing the Taste of Beer'." Anheiser Buch is sponsoring the World Cup in Germany, but the problem is that both German and Czech beer are better. Furthermore, "Budweiser" is originally Czech, and that version tastes a million times better than the watered down crap here in the States. Here's a snippet:
A lifelong drinker of the American version of Bud, US fan West Interian's palate is hardly what one might call discerning. But on a hot afternoon, in a town who's name every one seemed to have trouble pronouncing, Interian became a convert.The Czechs had the best lines though:
"I've drunk Bud my whole life, and this tastes better," he said after a gulp or two. Then he paused. "Hell, this is warm, and it tastes better. Try this, Rex."
Rex Corbett grabbed the modest green bottle: "Hmmmm, that is good," Corbett agreed. The bottle never made it back to Interian.
"It's cold," Novak ventured, helpfully. "But it is missing, um. I don't know how to say. It is missing ... um, yes. I miss the, uh, typical taste of beer.Go see for yourself.
You know?"
He took another swallow. "Yes! Yes! I miss the typical taste of beer!"
