The beer made by a Mexican company for Fox, labelled "La Original".

BULLSHIT!

"In the late 1990s, the Lion Nathan brewery in Australia produced an unrelated beer called "Duff Beer"."



We beat Fox to it. What did they do to a beer not using the real logo, Simpsons characters or anything else related?

"20th Century Fox brought legal action against the company.[4] The product was ordered to be pulled off of store shelves and destroyed because of the likely association in public mind between the Simpsons brand, characters, and "Duff" beer, even though the manufacturer did not use any Simpsons characters and made the can look very different.[7]"

Although we can thank Fox for:

"The beer became a collectors' item in the process with one case selling for $13,000.[7]"

"La Original"? PLEASE. Their only mistake was thinking Fox were nice to deal with, and good at polite solutions where everybody wins.

BULLSHIT! Fox love control, power and MONEY. They made cheap (and possibly of a lesser quality) Mexican beer to have CONTROL over the name and money.

Cheap beer, cheap import, expensive sales, CHA-CHING!

Further proof Fox has no soul.
