One of the strangest beer lawsuits, or does beer go with girls

During the 1990ies, US brewer Anheuser-Busch (now part of the Belgium-based brewing giant Anheuser-Busch InBev) ran for its Budweiser brand a series of adverts where two beautiful women appeared in front of two truck drivers drinking the brew.

Inspired by the advert, Michigan man Richard Overton promptly bought a case of the beer, drank it and waited - but no hot babes appeared. The disappointed consumer filed a lawsuit against the brewer. Overton cited emotional distress and mental injury due to false advertising and wanted over $10,000 in damages.

Thankfully, the court realized it would take a hell of a lot more than a case of Budweiser to get this loser a date and they decided to dismiss the case.
