New Limited-Time “Mondays Light” Packaging Will Be Available at Retailers Nationwide

CHICAGO /PRNewswire/ — For football fans, the Monday after the Big Game is the Mondayest Monday to ever have Mondayed. With the season coming to an end 60% of Americans and Canadians admit they’re likely to have a ‘Case of the Mondays’ after the Big Game, according to a recent survey conducted by Talker Research*.

Now, Coors Light is turning a Case of the Mondays into a literal case of beer with Mondays Light, new limited-time packaging from Coors Light designed to bring chill to one of the worst Mondays of the year—the day after the Big Game.

Mondays Light 12-packs will be available at retailers nationwide for purchase, featuring a bold, Mondays Light-branded design that’s as refreshing as the Rocky Mountain-cold Coors Light inside.

On Monday the 13^th, Coors Light experienced its own case of the Mondays when the brand released a series of ads that mistakenly spelled “refreshment” as “refershment,” giving a playful nod to the kind of mishaps Mondays are notorious for.

“Let’s face it: the Monday after the Big Game takes ‘Case of the Mondays’ to a whole new level,” said Marcelo Pascoa, Vice President of Marketing at Coors Light. “So, we thought, why not turn that classic ‘Case of the Mondays’ into a literal case of Coors Light? Mondays Light is our way of reminding fans to Choose Chill on one of the worst Mondays of the year.”

A survey conducted by Talker Research in partnership with Coors Light* revealed that Mondays are generally unpopular, with 76% of respondents preferring other days of the week. However, 41% singled out the Monday following game day as one of the worst of the year. For many football fans, the dread stems from staying up late (50%) and facing work the next day after an exhilarating game (46%). For others, the letdown is tied to the sport itself: 36% lament that it marks the end of football season, while 18% miss watching their favorite teams in action.

For the third year in a row, Coors Light is returning to the Big Game. This year’s 30-second spot for the Big Game is developed by Mischief @No Fixed Address. Additional campaign details will be revealed in the weeks leading up to the game.
