Yeah, you're a "tool" who'll never mend his "ways." :)

Yeah, Foster's is popular up here even in grocery store cooler
sections. Convenience stores stock various brands of the 24-ounce cans
of beer. I assume the shape of the cans fit better in the coolers than
Foster does.
It has been so many years since I drank a Bud that I don't recall what
it tastes like. I do now that when I did last drink one, I didn't care
for it.

That reminds me of Miller beer. I haven't had any of that in years,
either. It is obviously popular in Milwaukee but only a few people I
know drank/drink it. When I used to go to Mardi Gras, Miller
12-ouncers were served where we hung out. Unfortunately, the Miller
served in N.O. was brewed in Atlanta and it tasted worse than that
brewed in Milwaukee. I only drank it in N.O. for lack of other brands.

I seldom drink but, if I have a beer, it is usually one of the
regional brands.
