Time for a summer mash-up. Beer and chips!
Miller Lite is partnering with Pringles on two brand-new crisps that encapsulate classic warm-weather flavors with no grill required. Beer Can Chicken- and Grilled Beer Brat-flavored Pringles are headed to a grocery store near you.
Pringles x Miller Lite Beer Can Chicken “combines the flavor of savory roasted chicken complete with notes of garlic and onion with the authentic flavor of the Original Light Beer.”
On the other hand, the Pringles x Miller Lite Grilled Beer Brat “has that smokey grilled brat flavor you know and love, with notes of black pepper, caramelized onion, and brown spice,” in addition to that light beer flavor.

The saying "no one likes a backseat driver" is being put to the test by one couple.
Sharing his relationship dilemma in a Reddit forum, a user asked if he was wrong "for refusing to drive if my wife is in the car."
He wrote, "For years after we got married, I could never figure out why I would be so angry and moody any time my wife and I went somewhere. Then it finally clicked. I was only in a bad mood if I drove with my wife."
The user shared that it did not matter how he drives. No matter what he does, his wife "still finds things to complain about," he said. He gave examples of her criticisms, including, "Why did you go this way?" and "You're driving too fast?" his parking abilities, his use of the blinker and the way he accelerated the car.
"So, for the past couple of years, I have refused to drive," he wrote. "I now make her do all the driving. And lo and behold, I'm no longer a grumpy person when we travel."
She didn't like that and wanted to split the driving duties in half...it was three minutes, she started, I pulled over and told her I'm done. Either she takes over driving or we're going home," the man continued.
"She eventually took the wheel," he wrote. "She muttered that I drive like a moron even though there's only one of us who has tickets and has at-fault accidents on their record and it's not me," he added.
