Bud Light presents Real Men of Genius
(Real Men of Genius)
Today we salute you, Mr. Bud Light & Clamato Chelada Inventor.
(Mr. Bud Light & Clamato Chelada Inventor)
Combining the watery goodness of Bud Light with the tomato clam juiciness of Clamato is usually only done by mad scientists and really, really, really, really, really drunk people. You also added salt and lime, but those don’t help the fact that you probably created the most ghetto bloody mary ever. Dr. Frankenstein used scavenged body parts to create his monster, but your hodgepodge creation would probably make him squirm.
(I ain’t going to drink that!)
Those who have balls big enough to drink it may not be able to smell and taste the clams or the beer, but the tomato is there punching their senses with a salty tomato soup look, smell and taste that only hobos can love. It’s somewhat tolerable, didn’t make me gag too much and I might’ve been able to nurse it until it was gone, except you weren’t kind enough to put it in a regular 12-ounce can.
Oh no.
Instead you decided to put your clammy concoction in a huge 24-ounce aluminum jug, making it impossible to finish without it getting warm, which makes the Chelada feel like someone rinsed their mouth with it and spit it back into the can.
(You sadistic bastard!)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, Champion of the Clamato and Backer of the Bud Light, because you’re going to find out if it mixes well with Grey Poupon.

Item: Bud Light & Clamato Chelada
Price: $2.49
Size: 24 ounces
Purchased at: Wal-Mart
Rating: 1 out of 10
Pros: Didn’t make me gag too much. It contains alcohol. Bud Light Real Men of Genius ads.
Cons: Tomato punching your senses. Mixing Bud Light & Clamato. It comes in a 24-ounce can. Tastes much worse when warm. Would make Dr. Frankenstein squirm. Bud Light mixed with Grey Poupon.
Oh my god. That is just so wrong. Thank you for being brave (or stupid) enough to put that in your mouth and swallow.
Kudos for having the nerve to try it. I bought a can a year or so ago to review, and it sat in my fridge for MONTHS because I was scared to open it. I finally did, but it was so foul I didn’t bother reviewing it in fear I would inspire someone else to make the purchase.
I’ve seen this for sale here. It’s the most disgusting sounding drink I can imagine, and it appears it tastes just as disgusting as I thought. But they still carry it at the corner store, so some people must buy it.
Marvo I can actually HEAR that ad in my head, thanks for the laugh!!
Wow… this description actually made me sick to my stomach! 1 out of 10… that’s quite frightening!
“Oh my god. That is just so wrong. Thank you for being brave (or stupid) enough to put that in your mouth and swallow.”
If ever angry bob saw a straight line…
Hahaha.. ew he put it in his mouth!
Yep can’t do it, it just sounds wrong!
You crazy Americans! Clamato is awesome. Great for Ceasars (which are like bloody marys, but good), and pretty good with a nice light pilsner style beer. Chicks especially like a little beer and Clamato. I think the problem is that Bud is such a sucky beer to begin with.
Way to take one for the team!
ive actually had this. twice.
the first time i almost threw up at the first sip
If there were an award, I would nominate you. I don’t think I would have tried that stuff for money! Your funny writing style nicely complimented the sensory horror my mind formed when reading about how this product tastes. Ewwww is right!
I had a flash back to my wedding night as my ex wife would not let me touch her before we were married
her muffin smelled just like the beer tomato and clam drink
and that was after a 30 min shower !!!!!
Wow bad memorys.
I really like this stuff. Seriously. It’s not good drunk straight from the can. Cheladas (or micheladas, in Mexico) are served over ice. I drink mine from a glass with a salted rim, squeeze the juice from a lime wedge into it, and add a couple dashes of hot sauce. It’s good. Making cheladas from Tecate and Clamato is better, and doing so with Tecate and a good Bloody Mary mix is fantastic. But I like the Bud version, too.
haven’t seen these, but we used to drink beer/tomato juice as a hangover cure. back in our early 20’s when we could drink enough beer to get drunk enough to BE hungover!
and clamato used to make the best bloody mary mix on the market.
Our local Bud distributor can’t even sell this crap. It sits on the shelf until it expires. Then they give it to the cops to prevent a Budweiser Rodney King incident.
god damn. what an atrocity.
Bleh…I almost threw up in my mouth reading this.
But, I do have that jingle in my head now…so it sorta evens it out…
I tried that crap a few months ago and thought to myself I wouldn’t even want Marvo to review this shite!
I love Clamrod.
@govtdrone – I’m going to say brave.
@dranktank – I don’t need inspiration to buy something like this. I need inspiration to drink something like this.
@Chuck – I don’t think people buy it, I think the cans you see are the same cans that have been there for months.
@Rick – You’re welcome!
@Heidi – It would be even more frightening if people were able to buy a keg of it.
@angry bob – Sadly, I have put worse things in my mouth.
@lex – See reply above.
@grinder – We Americans are pretty crazy. We go crazy over The Hills and we turn people who don’t deserve it into celebrities.
@Taikog – Thanks for suggesting it, you sadistic bastard!
@Frenchman – You’re kind of a masochist, aren’t you?
@Scott – I have five dollars.
@Neil – Thanks for passing that memory on. Now I’ll have bad memories.
@Mike – I guess it’s an acquired taste, but the way you describe how you make your own makes it sound good.
@bionic bunny! – If you do happen to see this product, remember to support your hobo population by buying your favorite hobo one.
@Red Icculus – I’d buy them…for a penny and then turn around and make a four cent profit by recycling the cans…and giving the Chelada to my favorite hobo.
@chris – Yes, it is. I feel like the Red Cross should be involved somehow.
@cjwsbg – I’m glad everything is balanced.
@luckinflux – Why didn’t you warn me? Actually, if you did warn me, I would’ve wanted to try it even more.
@Anonymous – I bet you do.
I live in Texas, and this stuff is incredibly popular here, particularly with a certain segment of the Spanish-speaking population. It’s sold everywhere. It’s not the idea of tomato juice and beer that bothers me — it’s the Clamato part.
I might try it just to see what it’s like, but I’ll definitely serve it over ice with a lime wedge or something.
Good drink after a good long run.
Isn’t this whats wrong with Canada? Who the hell likes clam juice? Gross… I prefer my light beer with beefamato, thank you..
