Budweiser and Clamato Chelada Is What Happens When You Let a 5-Year-Old Mix Your Drinks

Light beer, tomato juice, and clam extract?  Sounds like a party – a party that I would leave immediately and stand in the yard telling other guest arrivals how much it sucked inside.  But apparently the Budweiser (or Bud Light) and Clamato Chelada somehow got out approved by Anheuser-Busch tastemakers, because it’s out there for the buying.  (You know the folks at Clamato were not the limiting factor in green-lighting this partnership, because they had basically met every need that existed in the market for tomato juice with with a funny clam essence in it.  The demand for gross pasta sauces and Bloody Marys that taste worse than regular Bloody Marys remains pretty much static.)

Anyway, Chelada.  Some say it is bad, but just because an opinion is correct doesn’t mean you have to have it!  One especially vehement gent disagrees:  

From the Beer In Food comments section:

clamato is the next best thing to a woman it is the best stuff i ever drank if Budweiser stops making it i believe i would have to sue them. as a matter of the fact Budweiser does not manufacture enough of it here in eastern KY. it is a hard item to find i go miles out of the way to find it. what jimsey stated in comment 1 my brother inlaw said the same thing. funny thing he is hooked on it now.

His brother-in-law didn’t like it at first, but now he is literally addicted to it!  There’s your sales pitch, Budweiser!
