Life On the Wicked Stage: Act 2

Schlitz Is Back

Not that I’m going to rush out and drink any of the stuff, but ah, the nostalgia. Schlitz, the Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous, is back on the shelves according to this article on MSNBC. Apparently after being dormant for awhile and suffering from ridicule from monkeying with the formula, Pabst is bringing it back using the old formula.

This was the first beer I ever tasted, primarily because it was the beer of choice for my dad.

As it slowly rolls out, I imagine it will catch on quickly. Apparently they can’t keep it on the shelves in Milwaukee.

Now the FDA says it is looking into jalapeno peppers from a Texas plant as a possible cause of the recent salmonella outbreak. But hold on, I love this quote from the MSNBC article:

Well, we certainly don't want any exonerated tomatoes around these parts, I'll tell you that.

Latvian Students Break Mentos & Coke Record

Now, I enjoy a good Mentos and Coke explosion when I see one, but my goodness this is quite an extravaganza. Students at Latvia's Business University Turbia decided to set a new world record, dropping Mentos in 1,911 bottles of Coke. Where did they get all the plastic raincoats?
