    I've heard someone say because of their can art, they can take a few to a party and look like they are a cool beer drinker and not get bugged. Idk how true that is but it sounds plausible. I've only ever tried the Dead Billionaire and can't really vouch for their other stuff. $3 for a can of sparkling water really doesn't make sense to me.

    Also I feel you on advertising. I try my darnedest but you really can't avoid it. Something about Budweiser a few years back spending $20 million for a Super Bowl commercial to advertise how they donated a few hundred thousand to some relief effort kind of rubbed me the wrong way. But also ads don't really work on me much anyway. It actually has a better chance of getting me to hate your product lol.

      I can but only because I only very rarely use the internet on mobile. But the other day I had to deal with a chess.com issue so I disabled Ublock to try to figure out the problem. Within seconds an ad started talking at me. I almost started laughing at the idea. How can that possibly work on somebody on a chess site? Then again - maybe I'm wrong and it does work. I don't understand people at all - Americans in particular.
