While I wouldn't turn down a Bud, I much prefer a
Yuengling Black & Tan or a Guinness Stout. Or a
Genessee Cream Ale.

PAH!!!! Genny Cream Ale.

Yup.

Long, long time since I sipped an ice cold one of
them. Hey, they still brewing the 10-Horse Ale?

Yes, but it's an acquired taste. Some odd stories about
why it's called that....

Or, is my memory fuzzy and
Genny Cream IS the 10-Horse Ale.

Nope, two different things.

I remember the 10-Horse nearly when it was
new, I was up there for a visit. It was stout, but it'd give a grin on 1/2 a one!

I'm getting thirsty!

As for what is fed to babies, it should be remembered
that for a couple of decades in the middle of the
20th century, the "professionals" and "experts" told
us that bottle-feeding was *better* for infants than
the "old-fashioned way". The newfangled "formula"
and all the attendant apparatus was "scientific" and
"progressive", they said. Of course it took a whole
pile of hardware (bottles, sterilizer pot with lid and
bottle rack, nipples, nipple rings, seals, bottle tops,
tongs) the formula itself, and a kitchen to do all the
processing to do what "the old fashioned way" did semi-
automatically.

Whatever's the advertising win for the "period" is what is
supposed to be *ahem* healthy.

BINGO!!

The "old fashioned way" didn't sell as much apparatus as the
"new scientific" way.

The "old-fashioned way" was
put down as being vaguely third-world, Luddite,
"horse and buggy" and inferior both physically
and psychologically. Moms who tried to keep the
old ways met with resistance, opposition and
insults.

After all, the "professionals" and "experts" knew
best, right?

As if!

Heh, adverstisers.

Yup. If there's no market for something, create one!
