Coors Light now has a literal case of the Mondays.
The Molson Coors Beverage Co. announced this week that Coors Light will be repackaged as “Mondays Light” for a limited time.
Coors Light seems to be making the most of its spelling error that appeared in a national advertising campaign debuting on Monday.
The ad was supposed to read “Mountain Cold Refreshment.” Instead, it said, “Mountain Cold Refershment.”
Coors Light acknowledged the mistake in a statement that began with the following sentence: “We had a case of the Mondays.”
“Coors Light wants to thank everyone for letting us know about the errors,” the statement continued.
“Mondays, am I right?”
Coors Light apparently soaked up the criticism and comical comments it received on social media, turning the blunder into a whole new campaign tied to its upcoming Super Bowl commercial.
“What’s a refershment?” one person wrote on the Coors Light Instagram post with the misspelling.
“No matter how you spell it, it’s still so good … and refershing,” another person remarked.
The new Mondays Light 12-packs will be available soon for purchase at retailers nationwide, the company said.
Coors Light is also offering its drinkers a chance to win a case of the renamed Mondays Light after its Super Bowl commercial airs.
Coors Light was first brewed in 1941 but was soon discontinued.
It was reintroduced in 1978 as a “diet-beer” alternative to Miller Light, which debuted three years earlier.
