Oh and ice machines don't get cleaned out much at all. You might want to think before you go for the ice.
Also if (when) rats get into the cellars they piss all the time they walk... over the bottles and whatever else.
You might want a glass with that beer instead of drinking it directly out the bottle.
Reminds me of when i was walking to work one morning in Edinburgh. Rolls, bread and cakes were delivered to a corner shop what was not open yet. Bread crates just stacked at the door like many a normal morning but there was a dog pissing up this pile. Glad i dont shop there.

Yeah seen it with mice, it's truly vile. Cellars and storerooms of pubs and corner shops are probably swarming with them after dark.
Never understood this modern habit of drinking from the bottle. Back in the day it was dogs pissing up against the stack of crates that put me off.

As I always say: babies drink from bottles, gentlemen drink from glasses.

Not belittling this, but it fades into insignifance when compared to the crimes of the Sackler family.

That's as maybe but to be honest, Oxycodone was the only available in the home drug that came close to easing my wife's pain.

That was my first thought but it was about the adverts for the guns and the image they promoted, it would be like Ford running an ad that says driving fast makes you more manly.

When was the last time you saw a car actually driving fast in a car ad though?
