This may be the dumbest marketing gimmick I have ever seen in my lifetime.
1. Does Miller actually expect me to waste my time finding an icepick to poke a hole in my beer can before drinking it?
2. Is the lack of a siphon really a f***ing problem when drinking beer? OH NO THE BEER IS POURING INTO MY MOUTH AT UNEVEN INTERVALS, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ITS SPILLING EVERYWHERE
3. Does Miller actually think that people are pouring their pisswater beer OUT OF THE CAN AND INTO A GLASS TO AERATE IT? This is the only reason why a "smooth pour" would even be an issue.
And here I thought the coors 'coolness meter,' Miller's 'triple hops brew technique' or the stupid 'vortex bottle' could not be topped in terms of idiocy

The grooves allowed the beer to pour out better to avoid foam, so basically the punch-top can does the same thing (assuming that some tool is actually pouring their swillbeer into a glass)
Most wine bottles are 'vortexed' as well

I've been watching Mad Men recently and they had punch-top cans in the 60's, you used one of those can opener things to poke a hole in both sides of the top. What's new about this?
