It’s hot as fuck down in the subway stations in New York. Whatever the temperature is on the surface, it’s about an estimated 20 degrees warmer down in the tunnels. So, you’re sweating your ass off until the train comes. The garbage that people throw onto the tracks doesn’t help things. The smell of hot garbage goes well with a shirt already destroyed by sweat.
But, once the train you’re waiting for arrives, the A/C in the train car makes up for it. There have been days when I would miss my stop on purpose just to savor the wonder that is Freon. So, wouldn’t it be great to have the Coors Light bullet train pull up to your station?
Maybe not. I may be overly cautious here but let’s take in some side details left out of the commercials. Where did that train come from? Where is it going? I mean, I’m not one to turn down free booze but what if I had somewhere to go? Sure, I could refuse to take the Coors light bullet train but what about the trains that arrive behind it? Wouldn’t it be detrimental to overall safety with ice all over the tracks? Some lines run outdoors but flash-freeze can probably cause problems with the braking system. If the third rail is frozen, what do we do?!
I just wonder how Coors Light could get away with serving alcohol in a mobile setting. Would it have to register as a bar of some sort to acquire the right? Also, in those commercials, I’m not seeing anyone checking for ID. If it had, think of the time it would take to board the people who are willing and legal to ride. The train delays are bad enough!
Maybe it would work in another metro system, neither do I care if it would. Just stay the fuck out of New York’s subway system, Coors. I’ve got places to go and, possibly, different beer to drink at those places.
