Memory Lane: Bud Bowl

     Bud Bowl was a series of animated Anheuser-Busch commercials that aired during "The Big Game" in the late 80's, and early 90's.  Bud Bowl featured football games between Budweiser bottles with football helmets against Bud Light bottles with football helmets.  I also seem to recall commercials leading up to the Bud Bowl that hyped up the pretend game.
     Bud Bowl produced several memorable characters including Bud Light Quarterback Budway Joe, Bud Light Quarterback Bud Dry, and Budweiser Defensive Lineman The Freezer.  I liked the Bud Bowl commercials, but many people felt like the idea ran its course, and eventually ran out of steam.
