A good lead from Hlebarov brings us this pairing of beer ads. Now, I'm absolutly positive that Heineken was doing the same thing - at least on posters - back in 2001, possibly created by Neboko. I'm sure there are more examples but I can't find any in my archives at the mo' - if you have any link them in comments (or just email them to the hostmaster).
This is a new tv commercial recently released in Bulgaria for Heineken's brand Kaiser beer. Since Heineken owns it they might even have spun the idea from the Heineken poster I mention. Super adgrunts watch it here. It makes sense, as a Kaiser actually wears a crown don't they?
This is Budweiser King of beers from 2001. For any European beer lover this makes little sense, we're hard pressed to call it beer much less King. ;)

I'm sure there are loads more. Show'em if you got 'em!

PermalinkLongtime adlister Henrik said "I have a picture of Budweiser doing it in Shanghai, outdoor in the subway" which sounds kinda kinky, but then here's the image.

PermalinkOn what do you base this assumption? Has Budweiser trademarked the upside-down cap or the phrase "King of beers" or something?
- reply
PermalinkActually, I believe that Budweiser trademarked "King of Beers" many, many years ago. So far back that I can't remember when. [I just found an auction for a metal calendar for 1951 for "Budweiser'King of Beers" - Well! That pre-dates me!]
I understand European reluctance to drink American beers. They're not as flavorful or robust here in the States....
