If Miller Lite's Vortex Bottle was so good, then why stray away from it?

I've just recently seen one of the new Miller Lite bottles which doesn't have a vortex necked bottle. They touted that as a revolutionary concept which helps the beer to be more ready to drink when poured. If it was such a brilliant idea, why scrap it?

Is it because...

A. The concept was absolute bullshite in the first place and the vortex neck doesn't do a damned thing. Obviously a marketing ploy.

B. The scientists and engineers at Miller who created this concept are idiots and have lost their minds for not taking advantage of the opportunity to utilize one of the best inventions since beer itself.

No one cares about the shape of the bottle as long as the beer tastes good imo. Was it Miller that also had the cans where you used your key to punch a hole? Way to encourage keeping your keys while you slam beers.

Miller also had the Man Law where you couldn't fruit the beer, yet they came out with a lime beer a few months after the Man Law series.

Don't they have something now where you can scan a bar code and find out who the brewer was? Now that's crafty.

I don't catch as many beer commercials as I used to. Did that really happen?

Today, I'm ashamed to have been a ML drinker in a former drinking stage.

Yes, and now Coors has the "double vented" can. Hell, I assume that their can manufacturer is coming up with the products and they're just choosing to market them in their own special little way.

It's clear the bottle on the left is the laminar flow flow bottle, designed to introduce less air into the beer producing less taste sensation but better drinkability, while the one on the right is a turbulent flow bottle, designed to introduce taste enhancing bubbles. They are going to sell less filling, bottle on the left, or great taste, bottle on the right, packaged beers depending on what part of the mantra you agree with. They'll eventually sell 25% less filling 75% great taste 12 packs for those who really enjoy life.

I got a problem with you balls. I prefer the coors and the miller and stay away from the as much as possible.


I hear they're getting in to the goose hunting business up north. I might have to give that a shot.

Sadly, in college I drank Miller Light(pre-vortex) regularly.

Make sure you only drink it, when the mountains are blue.
