Labatt Blue Bottle Caps

[Not_In_Anger]

Use your bic lighter. Jeez.

Hope you get a full bottle in exchange for your effort. Last time I checked Labatts, they held 11.5 oz/bottle which meant they stole one full bottle of beer before you got the case home.

danceswithcats: yeah, that plus the creation of 28 packs is what eventually made me switch over to Molson Canadian.

What? 11.5 oz. beers and 28-bottle cases?
This is taking the metric system just too damn far!

That’s why the bottles sold in Canada are officially marked as containing 341 ml. Can you imagine the quality control that is needed to make sure that every bottle has that one extra millilitre of beer?

Seriously, for many years now, Canadian beer has been sold in 11.5-oz bottles. If you want a 12-oz (355 ml) beer, buy it in cans.

But Labatt’s? Come on, you can do much better in Canadian beer.

**Here’s a tip… never… ever open a bottle when your hands are wet/completely soaked. I did that once and ow… I had such cuts on my hand…

[sub]I was at a hot tub party and a cute guy asked me to open it for him. Shame that didn’t work.[/sub] **

Here’s another tip: Don’t ever try to open a beer bottle by hitting it against a windowsill. (It seemed like a good idea at the time. I still have the scar.)

Personally, I’ve never had a lot of trouble screwing off the top of my favo(u)rite Canadian beer, Unibroue (which most people don’t realize is a screw-off since the bottles are foil-tipped).

I HATE beer!

Those twist-off cap wine jugs though…theyz a bitch!

**Bonus tip: if you drink mostly twist-off beer, BE CAREFUL when switching to a new non-twist-off brand such as Sam Adams. We learned the hard way that Sam Adams caps don’t twist off. **

I think I’d pay good money for a video of THAT little fiasco. grin

LOL no shitters. Moosehead, Sleemans, or just basic 50 in the big bottle. Holy Mother of God!

Notice I’m not even going into the endless topic of Standard Lager. (Motto: “It’s not good. It’s Standard.”)

[GingerOfTheNorth]

I have a husband to open twist-offs for me. If he’s not home, I have a bottle opener.

I don’t miss LaBatt’s at all. I do miss Molson Dry & Clamato, though. Oooh, or Grasshopper, or Warthog… Ahh, time to visit home again.

**Now a harder challenge is how to open wine with your bare hands, without spillage or breaking glass, but I’m not prepared to divulge that one for free. **

I’d love to hear this. Please tell us if I said pretty please with a kumquat on top?

[cowgirl]

[boast] My husband can open bottle caps with other bottles. or with lighters, or lipsticks, or just about anything. [/boast]

**It’s LABATT’S, dammit. If you’re going to insist on drinking the crappiest beer Canada makes, learn to spell it. Legendary Canadian politeness indeed! **

Nah, the OP is right - it’s LABATT!

And Tim Hortons doesn’t have an apostrophe, either. (In case it was going to come up.)

**Is it illegal to use your shirt to gain the requisite friction, regardless of moisture? 'cause that’s how I’d handle that situation. **

I use my saber. Impresses the Prussian chicks to no end.

Since she quoted friedo, who spelled it Lebatt, I’m fairly certain that she meant him, not the OP.

Invest in a bottle opener?

I’ve never bought a bottle opener in my life, ever, but I still own three of them. I think they multiply, like coat hangers. Investing in a bottle opener would be like investing in lint.
