alocispepraluger102 Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) 40 ounces is a perfect container for liquid refreshment, however it is difficult to find suitably drinkable beverage in said containers. guinness markets an adequate paltry 38 ouncer(and i am no great fan of guinness), but i am hard pressed to name another... my last 40 was a peurile miller high life........

Buy barley wines in 22 oz. and with the extra alchyhol content, it'll equal the 40 oz. As Tom Lehrer sang, "new math." Quote

Quincy Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 Hee hee. You can thank my dad for knowing Tom Lehrer, but I found barley wine all on my own! Quote

Jazzmoose Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 The 40's are okay, but what with my arthritic knee getting worse, I'm not looking forward to the 50's.... Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Uncle Skid and I were on the road Monday and stopped for dinner at a "Texas Steak House". Skid had concerns about the Hummer in the parking lot but we went in anyway. Our waitress said "beer sale tonight - all draws are $1 and a tall one is $1.50. We asked what was available and she said "Bud, Bud Lite and Killians". We ordered "tall" Killians and she said "That one isn't on sale". We said ok. She delivered what seemed to be 2 liter mugs! It took 2 hands to get the mug to my mouth. The meal wasn't very good either. On the way out we spotted another Hummer in the lot and Skid created another "law" - never eat a a place that plays country music and has Hummers in the lot. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 …and those 2-liter mugs of beer were $7.00 each! I should have known the place was bad news, as it also violated two other laws of good dining: peanut shells on the floor, and singing the stupid “happy happy birthday” song to adults, complete with ballons and clapping wait staff. But what is even more irritating than bad food and over-priced beer? 11.2 oz beer bottles! Usually found in the over-priced import cooler, you get the illusion of buying a “real” six-pack, but with 4.8 less total ounces. Quote
