Sure have. I was watching something with the wife and that commercial came on. I then said something along the lines of "we don't make good beer, so we come up with gimmicks in order to make up for it".

That what I said to the wife. To me its like giving crayon to kids at the restaurant. Something for the to do. Bud light is beer for kids I think.

I disagree about it being dumb. If you ever are at a party with 20 other people, bring able to differentiate your beer from everyone welders is party much a good idea. Now, the chances us drinking a bud light? Probably not so good.

I guess it's cool for the couple seconds before I chug it, slam the can on the ground, and then high-five my bros...

I haven't seen the ads, but it sounds almost like turning a screw-up into a feature.
"Hey, these new labels scratch right off."
"Uhh, yeah, we meant to do that. Now you can write your name on 'em!"

"our beer tastes like urine so why dont you scratch our name off and put yours on? that way you can take some of the blame for piss-water being so abundant in this country for purchasing such a garbage product"

hahaha 'brohesian ridgeback'. I hadn't heard that one yet.
I've often used the red dixie cups with these scratch labels on them at parties...they're actually really fun. Might be a little sillier with bottles, but it always helps me from going through a thousand cups when people can keep up with theirs and show off their artistic bent.

Just one more way to sell you a case of bottles. That happen to contain beer. I watched beer wars for the first time the other night (not opening a debate or discussion on the movie) and love the part where the diehard Coors/budlight/miller lite drinkers couldn't pick out their favorite. I think I could though.

Who in the hell puts their beer down at parties?
I thought it was a pretty good idea. I'd never use it since I:
A, Don't drink Bud Light
B, Don't drink right from the bottle.
But I can see where party people might have fun with it. It's like getting gum in a pack of baseball cards. ok, not as useful as that, but still.

Oh I've got it. There doing it so you don't drink the bottle that say greg hall...
I bowl with a bunch of bud light drinkers. The write on bottle saves the alley from having to wipe their names off the table (they write their name on the table and put their beer on it to keep it straight) now that they can put it on their bottles. My pint of darker beer stands alone.

We leave a couple of sharpies by the cups at parties and make it a requirement to at the very least write your name on the cup so you can reuse it throughout the night. We have some very artistic friends. Plus, we often wash the cups after the party and reuse them ourselves a couple of times. My kids love getting the cups with the crazy drawings on them

We do the same thing. The added benefit is you find fewer half empty beers in the morning.

Why would you put your beer down though?

Maybe if you scratch the entire label off, the cops won't know it's beer!

Twas thinking this myself. The only time I put my beer down is if I'm drinking at home, or I'm seated at a table/bar.
If there are a ton of people around, that beer is in my hand until it's finished. People say I have a pretty mouth......
In all seriousness, I tend to be wary of other people's pathogens, it's a hygiene issue to me.

Don't go to too many parties where that would happen. Left the college scene a long time ago. I put my beer down at the parties I go to all the time. Usually don't have a problem finding it though.
