The lonely life of a pint
You might have thought that a job dressing up as a giant pint of beer would be cooler than walking around in a character costume at Disneyland, but it turns out there are some hazards.
A woman who does promotional work for the Caledonian Brewery was thrown out of several events in Edinburgh, Scotland, because they do not allow alcohol on the premises. Officials defended barring the pretend pint of beer from their venues, saying it gave a bad impression during family events.
Marie Moser, marketing manager at Caledonian Brewery, was with the pint when they were asked to leave. She revealed that they had been told to leave the area in front of the City Chambers because it was reserved for street artists.
“I was very surprised because we were just giving out postcards, not beer or beer vouchers,” she said. “We behave responsibly, avoiding doing things like having our photographs taken with children.”
Moser said that up until now the only problem the pint had experienced was getting knocked over by children because of the poor visibility within the foam suit.
