It's that time of year again, folks. St. Patrick's Day! A day to commemorate something about snakes and a potato famine, or drinking green beer and singing a little ditty, or … what is it about, anyway?

Judging by today's branded tweets, it's about green clothes, shaming your pets with green clothes, and making green food—and if it's not green, adding green things to it.

Notably quiet are the alcohol brands, with nary a St. Patrick's Day mention from Guinness, Budweiser, Miller Lite … ahh, there you are, Coors Light.
