And how many carbs are you then?
If you will stop picking on Techchick and pick on me instead, I will promise you fuel for your flame. Let me begin: why don’t English people just talk normal the way Americans do?
You tell me, I’m scottish.
And you all talk funny.
Dammit. Okay. Why do Scottish men wear skirts?
And why do Irish-Americans wear skirts and march behind bagpipes on Paddies day?
For the same reason people buy convertible sports cars - you just can’t beat the feel of wind rushing through your hair.
Pardon me. In front of me at this very moment is a slip of paper from the Michelob “Ultra” display that states that it cotains 2.** 6 ** g of carbohydrates per serving.
The OP states 2.9.
Who is right?

Is that from Billy Elliot?
No Lib, not from Billy Elliot. That’s how people (those with strong accents anyway) in my hometown really speak.
Mind you, I should have used Ahhcum instead of Ahhcome. Oh well.
Why do Scottish people living in Ireland weight themselves in lbs.? Is that how much money your worth?
Oy. Vagueness and a spelling error.
For what it’s worth, that last comment was directed towards jjimm for this comment:
Do you often make the converstion just for our convenience over here in the States, or is that what you’re accustomed to weighing yourself with?
In the UK and Ireland we tend to ignore a lot of metric measures. Most people would give their weight in Stone and lbs not kgs.
I also have to do a bit of division when Americans just give their weight in lbs alone. Mainland Euros would tend to give their weight in kg’s.

Um, I can’t quite understand what you’re saying. Are you saying you had read the quote from Techchick and then still asked a question that had been clearly stated in her quote, or are you saying that you hadn’t read the quote and then asked a question that had been clearly stated in the quote?
OK now you can call me stupid. I missed out the crucial word If at the beginning of my second sentence.
Feel free to spit me out now, having (presumably) bitten me.
BTW Munch, I changed “a stone and a half” to “24 lbs” for US consumption, because we still use archaic measures for weight (a stone is 14 lbs), car speed and road distance (although that one’s being phased out in Ireland now).
Man you guys are weird.
At least we’re trying to modernize, albeit slowly.
my guess (since I’m not looking at the bottle) is that on the bottle, they’ll also say that it contains a little over 1 serving. I’ve noticed that the data ‘per serving’ is an interesting thing to look at (really, who eats 1.5 crackers?). So, the bottle would contain 2.9 grams of carbs, and be considered 1.something servings. (yea, we often leave 1/8 th of the bottle of beer).
The answer to this is simple. You finish 7/8ths of the to equal one full serving. That means its time to order a new one. The other 1/8th is for you to have something to sip on while your server is bringing another one over. Its like a freebie til the new, full beer gets there.
