I am surprised to hear sausages considered ‘High Brow’ and the “beer connoisseurs” will not approve of Bass either. Still very funny.

Last Passover my mom found some in the ethnic food aisle at the local Ralph’s. Not in a Jewish neighborhood, either.

You’re kidding, right?

I don’t understand why/how so many people drink Bud voluntarily.

If there is a Mexican market in your vicinity, chances are you can find Coke in a bottle. Made with real sugar. Divine.

Strangely enough, when the smaller (and cheaper) mini-markets in Belfast got hold of some German Coke, it tasted worse. I’m not sure how exactly, a bit off flavour and the carbonation was a bit iffy 😕

Cans seem to let the Coke get colder in the fridge than plastic bottles, that’s the difference I’d notice. I’d expect glass bottles to do the same.
