Ok, it’s the comercial where some guy dosn’t want to get out of his chair overlooking a body of water. People try to tempt him to leave his spot… but the guy is content on staying right where he is. Then he gets up for a beer and loses the seat.
So what’s that song that’s playing?
Thanks a lot!!!
I can’t answer your question but I just wanted to thank you for not saying “Labatt’s”. That is one of my biggest pet peeves.
Well, that’s too bad for you.
Oh, wait…
Thought you were being sarcastic, and I WAS saying it wrong.
To be honest, I didn’t know which way to say it.
cool, I was gonna say. You said it right the first time. Maybe it’s a Michigan thing but people here add an “S” to everything. The name of the beer is “Labatt”. There’s no “S” in it. You don’t say, give me a “Buds” or a “Heinekins”.
The only song I know from Labatt commercials is the one with the singing bear.
Labatt Blue is my weapon of choice and I can easily see how the mistake can be made. It could be a mistunderstood plural, as in “Let’s go out for some Labatts” or a mistaken possessive as in “Labatt’s Blue”.
BTW, I heard the beer is named after the Winnipeg Blue Bombers CFL team. Is that true?
The name Blue came from two sources. It is a nickname given in Manitoba by the colour of teh label and yes teh Blue bombers as well. The name bacame official years later.
Go to Labatt.com for more information.
Now as to the Labatt’s Blue vrs Labatt Blue I will side with Labatt’s blue for the reason that is what it is refered to here in Canada. We see the Labbat as the company name not the product name. Historically Labbat products used to use the name Labbat’s on their labels.
Go to the site look at the history section and you will see a picture of the original label for the product says Labatt’s (minus the name Blue)
As stated the nickname Blue was used by all who drank before the name Blue became official. One ordered a Labatt’s Blue not Labatt Blue because Blue was not an official name. Despite the fact that the Label now says Labatt Blue no one I know uses that as a proper name. It is a Blue or Labat’s blue (Interestingly enough Molsen get the apostrophy added to its products as well)
As for the argument that Budweizer is not referred to as Bud’s that is a falsde analogy in that Budweizer is made by Anheuser-Busch so if one wanted to use the same type of nickname people use for blue then they would call it Anheuser-Busch’s Bud.
So remove the rod and understand we Canadians helped name it and so we can damned well call it what we want.
