I usually have a pint of Bud in the pub. It's cheap and it's very refreshing when ice cold. Then i went to America and holy hell no wonder you guys drink 10+ beers in a sitting. Pepsi is stronger than American beer. Ninja-Hippo
State alcohol laws. You must have had 3.2 beer.
That's why I liked Red Horse so much when I was in the Philippines. Perfect logo too, a pair of horseshoes, drink one and you feel like you've been kicked by a horse.:lol:

Of sorts,only Lays are a lot better and they aren't as bad as Walkers with their green, see through and burnt idea of crisps. Lays always seem to be in amazing condition and actually edible, unlike Walkers. I've only ever had the plain, which I love, would love to try the salt and vinegar, tomato and beef flavours if they ever appear over here.Wait, you have BEEF flavored chips where you are? :o Aye, my favourite is Monster Munch, although the Braningtons aren't bad, strong flavour. Quite fond of beef flavour crisps along with spicy, salt and vinegar and tomato.

What the US calls 'Potato Chips', we call them crisps. And what you call 'Fries', we call chips. I like salt and vinegar, but it has to be of a particular strength. If the flavour is too strong then it makes me sick. It has to be mild.

Wait, you have BEEF flavored chips where you are? :oWait you DON'T have beef flavoured crisps where you are? I knew a lot of places don't have prawn and cocktail, but beef seems rather standard (although I'd say the same for prawn and cocktail) I cannot fathom a society that does not have beef flavoured crisps/chips. This has been a standard keynote of civilisation for generations. What the hell do they eat with their beer?

When you get deep fried icecream, the crust ins't actually warm by the time you get it.
Pirate700
Well it is ice cream, what can one expect? I know. I was explaining it to him. :P I have some difficulty understanding it really. Deep fried ice cream? How can those two together be good?
I would trade beef crisps for the giant orange cheetos though. Those things are radioactive. Literally stain your hands orange. You know you're eating something unhealthy when the pack recommends you only have seven a day.

3.2 as in 3.2% volume? I didn't even know they made beer that weak (not counting alcohol free).I've never seen beer that weak either.After a quick google search I think it might mean 3.2% by weight, which is the equivalent of 4% volume. Even so that's still to weak for my tastes.

Depends upon the state. Keep in mind that JD is made in a completely dry county, they can't even sell it there.

Does Florida have lame beer laws? I remember their beer was particularly weak. I also remember walking into a 7/11 after a 16 hour flight and a nine hour drive straight, shuffling over to the freezers only to find it locked up with a chain and a padlock. "What's up with the beer fridge?" "We don't sell beer on sundays." I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA!?
Yeah I know. But I'm American so I'm going with our words.:P Snyder's I like. They call them British style or some such....not so mild though.
All this talk of crisps has me fancying a bag now. We get pretty small bags here in general, none of the larger US sizes. The larger US sizes tend to be in super markets for the majority. I would love a bag of Lays right now...and I can't!
[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Can't say I have either....but I have to grab a cold one. You guys made me thirsty. Seen down to 2.5% for beers... Also seen 0.7% for something I believe was wine... :?

Blue laws. Can't sell alcohol on Sundays. Yeah, I know, but I didn't write those laws.:P
[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]That's fine. JD sucks compared to Jim Beam anyway. :PLJS9502_basic
:o Blasphemy!Pft...if you're talking whiskey...go Irish. You crazy son. Irish whiskey is decent for the cheapness factor, it was great when i was in college for instance, but for a full grown sophisticated gentleman you want scotch or bust. The only substitute is a nice bourbon if you want to mix it.
In Spain there are all sort of popular snacks in jamon flavour (a local type of meat) and in Greece we have a lot of oregano, tomato etc flavored snacks.

You're supposed to be at church, not buying booze. You can't buy cars on Sundays in a lot of states also. Thank God Colorado got rid of both those dumb laws.

You think that's bad, I went into a convenience store on a Sunday in one state, and the clerk refused to ring up a can of pet food because it was Sunday. TBH, I think the clerk was just lying and being a jerk to the lady.

Norway has rather strict laws on alcohol. [QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Don't see wine that low either. It ranges....but higher than that. And we import as well. Like all of them are higher than that. But our discussion wasn't leaning towards strongest beer or wine we had seen :P
I once tried Jalfrezi flavour deli chips, I think they're a US brand, not sure. They were amazing, so spicy. Sadly they were sold here for only a few weeks and were replaced with flavoured pretzels. I miss those deli chips, I love spicy food.
[QUOTE="horgen123"] Like all of them are higher than that. But our discussion wasn't leaning towards strongest beer or wine we had seen :P I suppose...but in general beer is 4-6% though higher proof exists...and wine is anywhere from 11-18% with higher proof again. Really never see anything lower here other than the "non alcoholic".
