Made this short video about some poor packaging design on part of Michelob Beer.
+ I just want to say this isn’t hate for Michelob! I’ve enjoyed your beer in the past — this is just a design thing.

The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business by Tara Hunt: Think of each authentic social interaction as a transaction (an exchange of social currency,) the more meaningful transactions you make the more capital you gain and the greater your social worth. That's the basic idea behind whuffie (read my review on this book)
Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin: Seth Godin's best work, IMHO! (Although the further I get through Linchpin, I may change my mind.) This book is just gets you in the mindset of viewing yourself within a larger community and enabling yourself to be a leader in that community.
Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuck: I put this last because once you finish reading it, you are PUMPED and ready to get to work on building your personal brand. Gary is one of the most motivating voices ever, and not in that Kum Ba Yah granola kinda way - but in that get off your ass and get to work! kinda way! (read my review on this book)

I would assume that the package design probably went through testing.
Perhaps Michelob found that people did not want to impulse buy ‘low carb’ beer.
If you are going to the store to purposefully buy their low carb beer, you know what you are looking for and ULTRA is certainly pronounced.
And yeah, what I said before about the impulse buying….

Great observation. Hopefully Michelob is listening.
