just out of curiosity though, how many commercials have you seen with clydesdales? they're pretty synonymous for budweiser. I haven't had a bud in 2+ decades, but when I see a commercial with a clydesdale, that's what I'm thinking of. I think if another company would use one, that commercial would really stand out because of the shock factor.
I agree with the Clydesdales being the symbol of sorts of Budweiser.
On a side note I am told that as an infant I walked in front of some Clydesdales at a Budweiser sponsored event and was almost trampled but was grabbed just before. Probably would have been killed!
