9. Man Sues Budweiser For False Advertising

 
In 1991, a man named Richard Overton filed a lawsuit against Anheiser-Busch for false advertising that had led to emotional distress, mental injury, and financial loss.
 


Harris alleged that, unlike the what happens to guys in their ads, when he drank Bud Light the ladies weren't attracted to him, nor did beautiful women and tropical settings appear out of thin air, as they did in another Budweiser commercial that was airing at the time.
 
To add insult to this grave injury, he also asserted that when he drank beer, he would often wake up hung over.
 
Overton sued for $10,000, but the case was thrown out before ever making it to trial.
