Coors Light appears to be embracing the mistake in its new advertising campaign that led to a barrage of criticism and comical responses, going so far as to rename the beer on its packaging.

Coors Light becomes 'Mondays Light' for limited time after misspelled ad

Coors Light now has a literal case of the Mondays.

The Molson Coors Beverage Co. announced this week that Coors Light will be repackaged as "Mondays Light" for a limited time.

Coors Light seems to be making the most of its spelling error that appeared in a national advertising campaign debuting on Monday.

COORS LIGHT BLAMES ITS 'REFERSHMENT' AD TYPO ON A 'CASE OF THE MONDAYS'

The ad was supposed to read "Mountain Cold Refreshment." Instead, it said, "Mountain Cold Refershment."

Coors Light acknowledged the mistake in a statement that began with the following sentence: "We had a case of the Mondays."

"Coors Light wants to thank everyone for letting us know about the errors," the statement continued. 

"Mondays, am I right?"

The ad with the misspelling appeared in print publications such as The New York Times and on a giant digital billboard in New York City's Times Square.

Coors Light apparently soaked up the criticism and comical comments it received on social media, turning the blunder into a whole new campaign tied to its upcoming Super Bowl commercial.

Coors Light is also offering its drinkers a chance to win a case of the renamed Mondays Light after its Super Bowl commercial airs.

Coors Light was first brewed in 1941 but was soon discontinued. 

It was reintroduced in 1978 as a "diet-beer" alternative to Miller Light, which debuted three years earlier.
