For example, Coors Lights pretend typographical error to set up its new wet-noodle Case of the Mondays campaign had my phone buzzing this week. It doesnt even have to be a commercial per se; your humble Hop Take columnists sources are myriad and voracious cultural sponges that call out oddball appearances by this or that beer brand wherever they occur.
