Time for a Little Tipple
I went to a bottle store yesterday to pick up some beer. I was in a bit of a hurry so I just quickly grabbed a 30 pack of Heinekens from the shelf. As I picked it up I thought it felt a little on the light side. Not enough weight in it to be two and a half dozen beers. When I took a look at the box it seemed to me that it didn’t really seem big enough to have 30 beers in it either. After a couple of minutes of puzzled inspection I figured out that it was a 30 pack of 7 oz bottles. Seven ounces!. I have never seen these before in the United States. Maybe they are some sort of Pennsylvania-only phenomenon. I don’t know. I just have no good explanation for it.
