I thought Fosters was only sold in the States where there a some people willing to drink corn-flavored swill. Dick |

Fosters - Australian for ****. Personally, I prefer Hahn or Hahn Ice (actually, they've been the only beers I've ever liked). But also, as the saying goes, "The Best Cold Beer.. is Vic."

Many years ago I worked with a bunch of guys who, as far as beer went, only drunk Fosters. At the time there were a mixture of steel and ally cans, but they would only drink it if they were in the steel cans. If the supply of them ended and they were offered the ally cans they would immediately switch to spirits. They reckoned that they could tell the difference in taste. Due to the risk of physical danger I refrained from the obvious question, if they were so lacking in taste buds that their drink of choice was Fosters, how the hell could they know the difference.

Obviously they already knew about the connection between aluminium and Alzheimer's. so decided not to risk it. |
