As we may raise a Cerveza to salute Mexican heritage and pride for Cinco De Mayo, one beer comes to mind for one of the most memorable character in commercials today - he is "The Most Interest Man In The World"!

Dos Equis (which in English is Two X's - just like the company logo) has been a popular Mexican beer since its inception just before the beginning of the 20th Century (the XX was to embrace the turn of the century).  The height of Dos Equis success in Mexico was the 40s and 50s, while here in America the beer has reached a new high in popularity and sales - thank the man that is now an internet legend.

"The Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials bring interesting facts about this legendary man who has lived quite a life, and can have any beer but always chooses Dos Equis.  The commercials are some of the funniest on TV today.  Check out one here:
