When the weiner was fully in the bun, the foam spewed over the top of the glass. My roommate and I fell out, but none of the other dolts in the class seemed to appreciate the delightfully filthy symbolism. I have tried (to no avail) to find a clip of this subliminal classic on You Tube. Anyone else remember this?

And: "Even college students were offended" - Well, yeah. I would hope so. Higher learning should not involve instructions on how to scam anybody, let alone "babes".

I don't remember the brand. There was another one which encouraged men to "go camping without a tent. Just take a case of Labbats blue and look for a woman with a tent.
