Has to be the break room of a small shop. I did contract work for a small oil & gas company once. Hardly anyone talked to me. I asked my VP how I could change that. He said, "Bring food." Every Thursday, I would bring in several dozens of fresh donuts and twists from one of the best shops in Houston. Within a month, I was well liked and very popular. Since I was self employed, I wrote it off as a business expense. Woo hoo! Their break room had a large commercial cooler loaded with bottled water and practically every kind of soda you would want.
We spend 4-5 months a year in East Tennessee. Anytime we go to the grocery store, whether it's Food City or Walmart the amount of mountain dew that's coming out in the carts is astonishing, of course what I'm seeing is most of the people that are drinking this aren't too thin.
Other than meth, Mountain Dew is a constant here in West Virginia. Now, since MD is mostly sugar, has anyone thought of adding yeast and making a mash and stilling it? Daryl
Damn. Back in my younger days, still single, rooming with an old high school friend while working 12 hr days at the local plant. He worked nights at a bar, so we barely saw each other. Anyway, he had a bitchy little girlfriend who'd come over and pop open the fridge, take out a coke, open it, take two sips, then set it down and leave it until it got warm. After it got warm and flat, she'd get another coke out the fridge and same thing. I'd come home in the evening and there'd be 5 or 6 coke cans, mostly full, all open warm and flat, sitting around the apartment. Cokes that I'd fucking bought. There'd be none left for me.
I bought a dorm fridge, small one, put it in my bedroom and kept the cokes in there. She'd go into my bedroom, while I was at work, and keep doing the same damn thing. Finally put a clasp lock on the fridge to keep her out.
She got pissed, chewed my roommate out claiming I was being a bitch, he got pissed, little bit later we both got separate apartments. Later he knocked her up and left her. Ain't talked to him in decades.
We've got something like that in the shop. People kept stealing Randels coke, he rigged himself something like that up. Love welders, we will figure something out.
I rename my pictures when I save them to help me later down the road when I caption them. I originally was going to post it as 'Kentucky - I know in my...' but I went to the store yesterday and saw a couple that had TWO shopping carts loaded with 2 liter bottles of Mountain Dew.
There's a swimming hole near me where drinking is forbidden. The local law can sit out of sight and see who has booze without being detected. I was there a while backe, college kids with plenty of beer. Told them to get Mt Dew bottles and pour the beer in them before consuming. Hope they took my advice.
They like that Mountain Shine, do they ? :^)

I love the matching lock.
ReplyDeleteWhat he said!

Is it sugar or high fructose corn syrup?
DeleteChallenge accepted! I bet I could knock the hinge pin out and get the Dew without even taking the lock box out of the ice box.

Can't. Sodium benzoate is a yeast inhibitor, added specifically to keep it from fermenting in the can.

ReplyDeleteIt could be Utah as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how people drink that shit.
ReplyDeleteWas it the lock that gave it away?

DeleteI need a magnetic lock on my fridge at the house. At 7 pm the lock activates and deactivates at 6 am. Beer is in a separate fridge.
