Next up is brand pages. You are now able to search by brand names, accessible by the footer, browse menu, and each product page (brand name hyperlink next to the product image). Here”s an example of what the brand page search index looks like:

The Debate: Corona with Lime vs. Bud Light Lime

Alright. Egos aside, people.

We all know it”s turned into a tradition to drink your Corona with a slice of lime. It”s good, we all enjoy it. It”s the perfect drink for a warm summer day, or in the winter while psyching yourself into thinking you”re on a tropical island. (You know you do it.)

But two years ago, Anheuser-Busch took America”s best selling beer, Bud Light, and added a twist of lime. The release of Bud Light Lime started this craze that has failed to back down. We”re sure you”ve all seen the Bud Light Lime schwag, much like that of Corona. (Really, how many Corona boxers can one person own?) With this craze, comes the question — which is better?

We”re asking YOU which beer do you prefer? This debate has already sparked on Social Grocery!

Old favorites are here to stay.

Have you ever stopped to think about how long some brands have been around? Think about it. Some brands have become such a staple in many of our lives that we refer to them constantly — like calling any brand of tissue paper “Kleenex” or generic cola “Coke.”

There are certainly some veterans when it comes to food products and brands. For a perfect example, take a walk down the cereal aisle next time you”re in the grocery store. How many of those brands do you remember eating as a child yourself? We”re betting more than a few!

Feeling inspired to take a stab into the history of the grocery world, we found a couple of old school commercials to entertain you. Did we mention that all of these items are still available in your local grocery store and also on SocialGrocery.com? Let”s revisit a few old time favorites!
