Is anyone else creeped out by the not-so-vague Orwellian overtones of the Elf on the Shelf that’s always watching you? All hail Big Brother!

Bet you didn’t come up with this.

To quote, because I. Cannot. Make. This. Stuff. Up.:

Enjoy a Chelada and experience the unique mixture Bud Light® or Budweiser® with the flavor of Clamato. Have some fun and customize it to make it your own by adding your favorite ingredient…wherever, whenever!

If by “wherever, whenever!” it is actually meant like nowhere and never, then I’m ok with “Chelada”. But seriously, this has to be the single most disgusting beer idea since that beer energy drink thing. I mean, really, what the hell were the guys over at R&D thinking when they hatched this one?

Who knows, but in the meantime, I’ll be trying to think up a name for my Guinness and carrot juice combo.
