That is funny, and it's a positive for both companies, I think. Anheuser-Busch comes out looking friendly with positive press, and the micro brewery got free advertising they probably couldn't have bought otherwise.

That's pretty funny! Not a customer of either, but glad to hear both companies have a sense of humor!

Bud must only be running that commercial during NFL games, which would explain why I have never seen it before.ELB wrote:Most trademark battles are not this fun. Go thee hither and view:

I have seen it during other shows besides the NFL, but not being a Bud Light fan, I didn't pay it much attention. But this is a funny way to deal with an infringement, although I never knew, you could copyright a phrase like that, most big boy businesses, just rain lawyers down on the little guy. Maybe they could change the name to Silly Silly!RoyGBiv wrote:Bud must only be running that commercial during NFL games, which would explain why I have never seen it before.ELB wrote:Most trademark battles are not this fun.

I seem to remember a 33 1/3 LP from my childhood containing various Disney songs. The phrase 'dilly dilly' was featured in the 1948 song Lavender Blue. Maybe Disney and/or the Burl Ives estate need to commission a funny commercial admonishing Budweiser Corp.

You could probably get away with "dilly dilly" if you were selling pickles.JustSomeOldGuy wrote:I seem to remember a 33 1/3 LP from my childhood containing various Disney songs.
