What?

'Bud Pong' pulled; brewer shocked beer used in game

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Anheuser-Busch (BUD) will discontinue a national promotion called "Bud Pong," a drinking game the company says is supposed to be played with water.

However, participants in the game — played with a ping pong ball and plastic cups — often were drinking beer as they lost points, according to a front-page story Sunday in The New York Times.

...

Anheuser-Busch says the game's instructions called for water to be consumed during play, not beer, which is the company's main product.

Well obviously this is what you get from a brewery in St. Louis. Aw, cripes.

Since there is essentially no difference between Bud and water, I can see how the players got confused :-)

Aww, c'mon, Steveegg, you probably would criticize the Bud Bowl, too!
