Bud, Light, Commercial

At least I think it was a bud light commercial. It was a variation on the one where the friends say “What’s Up” in a long drawn out way over the phone.

Personally, I like a little wasabi sometimes. Too much takes over the flavor of the sushi.

It really makes my nose feel like it’s being set on fire and turned inside out while my brains are being squeezed through it. That being said, it tastes delicious! Especially on a nice spicy salmon roll!
