11.2 oz beers......

[ANADRILL]

Wheres my other .8 oz? I just don't remember foriegn beer companies doing this. Is it new, and when did it start?

[00tec]

What brand is it?

Kinda like finding a 1/2 gallon of ice cream that isn't Blue Bell- reduces their cost while keeping the prices the same

[TFOGGER]

11.2 ounces equals 325 ml...

Fuckin' metric system. Beer should be sold in PINTS, dammit...

My 5 lbs of sugar now comes in 4 lb bags.

My 24-can case of Coke now comes in a 20-pack (unless I buy 2-12's).

Gumballs are (and have been for a while) hollowed out.

My 12 oz bag of chips is now 10 or 10.2 oz

My quart of Mayo is now 30 oz.

My Country Crock margarine went from 48 to 45 oz ( I found out because there is not much to read at the breakfast table...)

My 24 oz box of Rice Crispies is now 18 oz (...breakfast thing again)

My Burger King Whopper used to "Take 2 hands to handle" ** ...not anymore.

I used to not be able to finish my Diary Queen Banana Split it was so big... now I can eat two. (Wait...Maybe that's a DIFFERENT issue[LOL])


But on the other hand, the prices of these items have stayed the same or gotten higher [facepalm]

But back then I was making $6 per hour driving 50 miles RT in a car that got 13 MPG. [Flower]

[ANADRILL]

It's all imported beer in cans and bottles.

I have a picture of me getting a "Buddy L" gas pump for Christmas when I was a kid.

The price on is said "$0.25/gal".

My kids asked me where the "2" was ($2.25).

They figured I was old enough for $2.25/gal gas, but would NOT believe me about the $0.25/gal gas...with LEAD in it , yet.

In Louisiana in the 70s and 80s...Budweiser (and other US brands) came in 10 oz cans...same freakin' price as 12 oz cans here. But hey, the beer stayed cold to the last drop, so no bitchin' here.

[Kraven251]

I wasn't drinking it but I remember the rip tabs on cans that looked like V8 cans. I think it was Schlitz

I think you can still get those, also the ponies in the small bottles were good.. Both Miller and Budweiser were doing those.

[MATT02GT]

So did we get a brand on these 11.2s? I make a living on selling booze and dunno what the fuq this is???

[DOC]

Its the ones he opens and takes a tax sip of.

Many to most imported beers come in metric sizes, which can be the aforementioned 333ml, or .5l. Paulaner, Ayinger, Hacker-Pschorr, other german and austrian beers.

Unless they have a US bottler, or very big US presence, it comes over in euro-spec glass.

Before I drove. This is what it cost and it was fine with me.

Gah that's for a quart of oil .... Wish it was still that cheap!!!

[Goodburbon]

In high school the local Louisiana convenience store had beer for $7.49/12. (that's regular alcohol content for you silly natives) :P

Ford was selling their base ranger pickups for 4995, the last year the ranger was produced it was up to 15k. That's 300% increase in 15 years. Of course inflation is at all time lows....right?

[Bailey Guns]

I remember filling up my 72 Monte Carlo for .49 cents/gal give or take in 76/77. It was actually my dad's car but I got to drive it in the summer. It didn't like to pass a gas station. I had to work all summer just for gas...even at those prices.

[fly boy]

How about a 3L bottle of Ale?

My guess is Stella Artois, I will still buy it.

[RJLou]

I used to buy a gallon of gas for $1.50ish.

When I first got my license it was about $1-$1.20per gallon and I'm almost 30. So that was only 14 yrs ago.

Stella is 11.2 oz

Only if I am drinking it with Vicki ;)

Stone is delicious!

I wished I would have seen the brewery when I was out there this past Summer.

When I first got my license it was $1.29 and it was stuck there for the longest time and then the prices dropped to as low as $.75 a gallon for a while. Remember it was like 2000 - 2001? But I didn't want to go there since I would be happy to have it at $1.50 again.



YOU HEAR THAT GAS BASTARDS? You win you can put the price of gas at $1.50 now and I won't complain. Fuggers.

This ^^^^

[Irving]

Those aren't even close to 3 liter bottles.

[ben4372]

Those aren't even close to 3 liter bottles.

Even using a fisherman's pose, those are regular sized.

[DOC]

That is very convincing. I'm sold and I want to do my part to lower the senseless drunk driving deaths. Starting right now I am putting up a amnesty box out from of my house for high capacity 12 oz. alcoholic beverage turn in. No questions asked. But no Natual Light. That shit is to nasty. The box will be located right next to the firearm turn in box.

[Ah Pook]

The point of this thread is...? Time to point to the 11.2oz now.

My guess is it's one of the big three, which means IDGAF.
