  • Rodriguez, Amy.JPG Add this one to your collection

    Last week, Budweiser announced they had figured out a way to make their cans slimmer in the middle than on the ends, thus kind of mimicking their bowtie logo. My first thought, for whatever reason, was how much my brother would have wanted one of those in his beer can collecting days.
