• Budweiser Advertising

  Budweiser beer advertisements have been prominent on American television for decades. In the mid-1990s, the company introduced three frogs that would respective say "Bud", "Weis" and "Err". A series of other animal creatures were subsequently added to the campaign.

  In the early 2000s, Budweiser commercials featured a series of beer-enthusiasts saying "Wasssuppp?" to each other and indicating their fondness for Bud. Budweiser is the "official beer" of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
