The story goes something like this. The legendary writer Anthony Burgess named his first novel __________________ (the first part of the Malayan trilogy The Long Day Wanes) after the advertising slogan of this very famous beer.
The beer was popular in the Malaya of the 1950s, where Burgess was working. Burgess reveals in his autobiography that, when his book was published, he asked the manufacturer, then Fraser and Neave, for a complimentary clock with the beer's slogan. The brewery declined to offer this or any other freebie. But fourteen years later, when Burgess was better known, it relented. In 1970 it told Burgess he could consume any of their beers free of charge while in Singapore, with their compliments. “But it was too late.” Burgess wrote, “I had become wholly a gin man.”
