The Onion did a taste test of this a couple months ago in case you want to ruin your lunch. Pinkish foam...blech. http://www.avclub.com/articles/chelada,28191/
Spent a lot of time in Cameron County, TX this year, where this stuff is muy caliente. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm eager to get hold of some Certified Color.
I can only make two small comments here, neither of them to be construed as a defence of the above abomination:
--If you make a 'mi chelada' [beer, tomato juice, citrus, seasonings] from scratch, not in an effing can, it is actually really good as a hangover cure or on a hot summer's day. But fie on the canned shiz.
--Blame Canada for the Clamato juice--it is the mix in our ubiquitous bloody Caesars--but was never intended to be linked inappropriately with Bud or his skinnier brother, Bud Light.
I think micheladas must vary region to region, but the ones I've always ordered are beer, lime juice, worcestershire sauce/soy sauce/jugo maggi, tabasco/valentina/san luis, and salt & pepper.
. As with politicians, it's best to take no position on things that matter lest they be used against you someday. One day somebody will photograph you during a less proud moment drinking one of these and then reference this post and then your Newser rating will fall.
I say you're a humorless corrector of what is obviously a typo, you say... well actually, I don't give a fig what you say, you humorless corrector of what is obviously a typo.
The Krazy Kanadians call those Bloody Caesars.
And you don't know from sick until you're tasting it again the next morning.
Don't, erm, ask me how I know that.
Like Leafs fans, Howie Mandel and the decision to live in "cities" like Sudbury, Burlington and Scarborough, there are some things about my countrymen I will never understand. AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY.
Umm, Richmond.

But it's "the perfect combination"! It says so right on the can!
They left out the end of the phrase: "The perfect combination...of nasty and disgusting."
That's supposed to be used for marinating carne asada, not for drinking; although the gringos on spring break in Mexico get confused sometimes.
Then how do you explain the picture on each can? It clearly suggests that the product is meant to be consumed as beverage, not as a marinade.
Girl, you so literal!

I don't want to live in a world where my Clam and Tomato beer's color is uncertified.

Sparks? Bud Lite Lime? I don't know what's worse. And Alex, you KNOW you'd drink this in a pinch.
It is true, but the same can be said of Barbacide. You don't see me endorsing it, though.

I've never met a Barbacide joke I didn't like.
Calmato sounds like a vaginal affliction.
You say Calmato, I say Clamato.

They're two different products.
Calmato is the variety made from tomato and valerium.
I marinate my oar-tenderized swamp rabbit in this shit for about an hour before grilling. Flavor profiles are killer.
fill a kiddie pool with it and throw in a deer - good eatin'.
"What's the time? It's time to get ill!"
Bud Light and Clamato? But how am I going to fully enjoy the taste of ass?
"This man has food poisoning ... we need to induce vomiting. Nurse, I need 200 cc's of Bud & Clamato, stat!"
All that work and no Conde Nasty?
Also works as a paint stripper.
Bloody mary's are made with Clamato in old men's bars. Don't ask me how I know that.

The American Legion in Tulsa sells a million of these things. True story.
Yes, certain liquor stores here in [redacted] apparently move vast piles of this crap, or they get bullied into taking it from their Bud distributor.
