I know a guy who looks at beer bottle labels and all the words on a bottle or can and then tries to write poems using only the words on the bottle or can, and all of them. Here is one of his recent efforts:
Any you have written?
He writes: "One time, when I was bored, I had a bottle of Rolling Rock beer. I noticed the words printed on it. I wondered if I could rearrange them into a poem or something. Something with some meaning relevant to drinking a lot of beer. The result was this poem. I call it “All the Words on a Bottle of Rolling Rock Beer in a Different Order.”

Not OK.
Refund this premium, beer surgeon,

I did my undergrad at a small college in Latrobe. That small college founded Fu Jen University in Beijing. Latrobe… That’s where the bananna split was invented… the first professional American football game was played… Mr. Rogers lived there and so does Arnold Palmer.

Know what the “33” stands for?[/quote]
“Marketing ploy”?
Always remember, no matter where you go . . . there you are.

Well, its certainly been used as a marketing ploy. But, in fact, it was merely the printer’s note to himself that there are 33 words on the Rolling Rock label. Whoever helped him set the print mistakenly thought the “33” was part of the text and added it. The “33” has remained on the label since then.
