Again, I go outside the scope of Greater Good to bring something trivial (and interesting–which remains questionable) to beloved visitors of this site.
Urban legend has it that for every case of Red Horse, there is a bottle of what many call a Happy Horse. This can be distinguished by an ostensibly smiling horse on the logo of the lager.
People claim that Happy Horse has a higher alcohol content, thus, brings a more considerable punch compared to its regular counterpart.
Here are some truths behind this lore:
- The bottles of Happy Horse were a misprint which dates back to its early days (circa 1983).
- A bottle of Happy Horse contains the same alcohol content as its regular counterpart. In the bottling plant, the bottles are lined up on a conveyor belt where they eventually make their way to a machine where they are topped up with the brew.
- There can be one, two, three or no bottles of Happy Horse in each case. Machines randomly grab bottles from the bottling line and place them on the recognizable red cases for distribution to dealers.
- When you buy a Happy Horse at a stiffer price, you are being ripped off.
