Red Stripe - Jamaican for Beer
So, like most of you the other night, I was watching the cult classic "Cool Runnings" on TBS. There is a scene where the Jamaican bobsled team is competing in the Olympics. Then, of course, they shoot back to the scene where all the people in Jamaica are sitting at the bar watching. If you look closely at the tables in the scene, everyone is drinking "Red Stripe."

Keep in mind, "Cool Runnings" came out in 1993.
According to their website the first Red Stripe of the current type was brewed in 1938. So I guess it's been around for a while. Also, according to Wikipedia, Bond drinks a Red Stripe in The Man with the Golden Gun. So Cool Runnings is only the second coolest movie the beer has appeared in.
