"pabst blue ribbon" news and stories

Last week, I wrote about Bill Bramanti, the man who bought a Pabst Blue Ribbon coffin. This week, I discovered Pabst Blue Ribbon soap. If Bill does not own this soap, he needs some now! Etsy seller Dennis Anderson says of the soap, "It's fun, lathers beautifully, and wont leave you with a 'Cheap Beer' hangover in the morning."

For those who don't want to go the cheap beer route, Dennis also features a Guinness soap with a very important warning: "DO NOT attempt to eat or drink this soap! You will not get a buzz, you will get a major tummy ache and be blowing bubbles for a week."

What beer would you like to bathe with?

Bill Bramanti loves his Pabst Blue Ribbon so much that he commissioned a custom Pabst can coffin for himself. USA Today quotes Bill as saying, "I actually fit, because I got in here."

Everything about this story strikes me as all kinds of wrong:

1. Entering your coffin before you die is creepy
2. Having a coffin designed based on a beer can is bizarre.
3. If you are going to love a beer that much, why Pabst Blue Ribbon?

Oh - and let's not forget about the part where he throws a party and fills the coffin with ice and beer for his friends. It was not Halloween.

Anyone else interested in a custom coffin? If so, of what? If you've got a food related one, I'll be happy to write about it, but please expect mocking.
