World Cup countdown - T minus 49: Soccer stars meeting Bavarian casual world - beware of extreme weirdness!
April 21st, 2006 | by Klaus Holzapfel |
I’ve seen a lot of real weird commercials in my life but this (fake?) Pepsi commercial combining Trio’s “Da Da Da” with Bavarian Lederhosen and fake soccer world cup stars tops it all.
I don’t think (and hope) the German squad will be very much looking like that. I checked on the stadiums: None of them looked like a beer tent.
World Cup update:
German brewery Bitburger struck a deal with Budweiser. German beer will now be available at all stadiums.
Bitburger presented a valid title banning Budweiser to use the word “Bud” in their German commercials. Bitburger waived the right in return for selling their beer. A nice move that puts them light-years ahead of all other German breweries who remain in the stands. Peace between Germany and the United States is always a good thing.

Good posting - as a second generation American with “Wagner” as my last name, peace between between Germany and the United States is my goal too!
Interesting to see how Bud navigated the legal and market realities of Germany. Would you see they have been better at it than other attempts by US companies?
Again, thanks, as always, for extending the conversation.
