  Fried Chicken Beer... (Entered Feb. 29, 2008)     Sponsors:  
 

I know I know, it's almost too easy. It's like companies are tailor-making products for me now just to get a little publicity. I've had enough of it. Here's the deal. You want time on my site? You send products to me directly ok? (plus a little paper incentive for my time).
So what am I supposed to say about this thing huh? Oh, it's fried chicken beer!! Wow, it's so silly and weird! Shall I say that it's fried chicken flavoured beer? Shall I say that it's fried chicken in a can, with beer? Maybe I should tell everyone that it's one of those oxygen cans with the smell of fried chicken. Do you think that'll get 'em running to the conbinis? Let me tell you, sometimes a man has to preserve his dignity. Sometimes he doesn't want to rant and rave about some weird new Japanese product. Sometimes the truth needs to come out.

Fried Chicken Beer

Sapporo and Family Mart (a convenience store chain) have teamed up. Somehow Sapporo has agreed to let Family Mart put a big ol' picture of it's store cooked fried chicken right smack in the middle of it's beer can. Why would Sapporo allow this? Well rumor has it that money was involved. What's in it for Family Mart? You buy beer. You see fried chicken. You want fried chicken with beer. You buy fried chicken. You drink beer and eat fried chicken clogging arteries even more than necessary. You have heart attack. You come back and buy more chicken. Profits and general merriment ensue.

Ok I lied! Here's the real story.
The truth as they say, is sometimes stranger than fiction. That's not a piece of fried chicken at all, but some poor alcoholic's liver. Recent health laws have forced Japanese beer and liquor makers to post warning labels (similar to those pics of diseased lungs on cigarette packages) on all cans and bottles of alcohol showing the effects of repeated, heavy drinking. Cheers!
