I know you can still get it, but it doesn't taste the same.

Yeah, this is a Reddit thread posted a while back where the poster claims to know who was behind the incident.

And the wikipedia article on the incident.

When I was in Greece last summer, we could buy "Beer" beer in the grocery stores.

Didn't it also come in the long pack, 2x6? I seem to remember that but it was over 20 years ago.

If you're going to make beer like that, at least make it more than 5%.

If something tastes terrible it should get me drunker quicker.

Every 90's cool kid needed the following standard equipment:





I tried to find a picture of Jolly Rancher wrapper folded to short an electrical outlet, but no luck.

Edit, forgot to mention my mom would take all of the above away from me when she'd find them, thus preventing me from ever becoming a cool kid.

I definitely played it in grade 7. There was only one square at my school so it wasn't easy to get a spot. It's funny, we played that game all year as much as we could but now, for the life of me, I don't even know how it's played. I only remember one cheap move where you would stand in your square, reach over to your opponents' square and kind of pull-bounce the ball back towards you so there was no way they could return it. We called it "like a real man" as sarcasm was not lost on a bunch of 12 year olds.

AMEN to this one. I can remember doing this until my cheeks hurt to get games to work. Still my first resort when anything today isn't working.
