What were they thinking?

Maybe I'm in the minority but who would find this even remotely tasty





And how the heck did someone come up with the idea of mixing Clamato and Bud Lite and think it was a good idea?

[lordlundar]

My sister mixes her Budweiser with Clamatto juice.

There has to be enough of a market for this crap somewhere.

[Knightmare]

These are probably the same people that thought up light beer and Gatorade.

Wow that is pretty sad that they are now marketing home remedy hangover cures along side the regular beer. umm er not that I've ever needed a hangover cure...

[Victor13]

I've noticed it's pretty popular down here with mexicans.

[kibbles]

I've heard of this tons of times, but never got it either

Once my dad and I were at a very yummy Mexican place in Santa Fe, and he ordered a "Michelada" which is basically the same thing (beer and Clamato). His reaction was something along the lines of "why in the name of Cthulhu would anyone think this tastes good?"

I try to be open minded, especially about food, but this one lands right out of the "don't knock it 'til you've tried it" park. I HAVE had red beer (beer and tomato/V8 juice) salted beer, and limed beer, but none make the regular basis watermark. When I first saw Clam/Clamato juice cans in a store I thought it was strange enough by itself. And what about sauerkraut juice?! Hey! Why bother drinking straight vinegar when you can have a can of it FLAVORED WITH CABBAGE!!! mmmmmmm........

Yeah, why mess up a perfectly good Clamato with that putrid excuse for near-beer, Bud Light???

[Sir Spaniard the 12th]

What's Clamato? We don't get that in Aus, I'm fairly sure.

[Banrion]

Clamato is clam juice and tomato juice mixed together. NASTY stuff, I say!

[Sir Spaniard the 12th]

I thought it might have been that... But I was hoping not. That sounds nasty on it's on... With beer? I don't want to know.

Clamato and beer is an old hangover cure in North America. Why people drink it for fun I have no idea, but the idea is that the vitamins in the tomato juice help your system recover and the beer in it will give your system enough alcohol to calm down and stop freaking out. Like all hangover cures, it's a matter of personal preference. I used to know a couple guys who loved beer and clamato and would mix it up and party all the time.

I personally love to drink Kalimoxo. It's Coca-Cola and cheap red wine, half and half. A Basque friend of mine turned me onto it, apparently all the Basque kids in Spain like to drink it. People think it's really weird.
