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

that one

guy: i'll take the regular bottle, i don't see what's so special about the vortex one

*****: IT HAS GROOVES *insert wildly inappropriate personal attack*

"it has grooves" is literally her only argument as to what's so special about it

Tim I don't think we've ever disagreed more on a topic

Punch-top can >>> Vortex bottle in terms of asinine ideas

I at least understand the POINT of a punch-top. I still don't get what the vortex bottle did exactly.

i have never even heard of this punch top can so i can't really comment on it

but i feel like it would be awesome if a can of beer came with a tiny ice pick so i don't have to use my car keys to shotgun so it can't be that bad

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?
