OK, I know:  it’s actually Camden Hells Lager, not Hells Lager, which is a bit different and not as funny — especially since the cans are bright red. If only the label had a little devil on it, that would rule.

Okay, technically this is Cock-Flavour (sp) Noodle Soup, but still. Couldn’t they just call it Chicken flavored soup mix? Talk about being desperate for attention.
