Beer Going To H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!!

#1

Post by MI-Cans »

And I thought flavored beer was a joke and destined to go the way of Lime Lager, Malt Duck, Hop 'N Gator, etc. Then I see this today!

"7 Detroit breweries creating Faygo beer flavors for Fall Beer Festival" Here's a link to the article:

https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/ ... 605156002/

Would you rather pay let's say, $5 for a Faygo Red Pop flavored beer or $1 for a bottle of actual Faygo Red Pop?

I remember eating those cigarettes as a kid! Don't smoke. Never did. But enjoyed those immensely.

Yes, I ate those as a kid. Candy was pennies back then. The better stuff was a nickel or a dime.

Started smoking real Lucky Strikes in 1963. Quit smoking in 1976. Best thing I ever did. Never regretted it.

Me too! My favorite kind of candy when I was under 10. Dad smoked back then, but quit 45 years ago, thank goodness, and is still going very strong at 84 …
