Sweden.

Yes, never heard that reference before when it comes to food...

The tax rates. Blink

Oh yes 52%. Might have gone down to 49% though.

Pabst ruins beer?!?!

The stuff has been around since 1844. Do you understand that the methods and techniques that are around today to make rich and more flavorful beers just didn't exist back then? Now I am certainly not old enough to know how much the flavor has changed over the years but I can't find any historical evidence that the recipe has been dramatically changed in that time. Granted I haven't done exhaustive research. That said when you have a product your consumers enjoy it is silly to take a gamble with changing its taste. All things considered for such an old recipe I think it's pretty amazing. There is not much in human history that has that kind of staying power, especially with food or beverage.

Pabst was crap when I was a kid. It's still crap. Ancient formula does not make it good. That only makes it ancient. I blame the over-worked under-educated masses for their lack of education on what is possible.

But here's a news flash: Using ancient formulas and techniques, good beer can be had.

So why is Pabst still using that ugly recipe?

Having a product line doesn't mean you can't create new brands or products. PBR still sells in money making volumes, again why would you kill or change a product that makes money?

Also I clearly stated that there are better beers than PBR, in my opinion.

You seem to be arguing the fact that why would anyone want to drink a PBR when there are other alternatives. The same reason people buy Kia's over BMW's. Fact of the matter is, there are lots of reasons people choose products and nobody is in a position to say they shouldn't. There is plenty of room for competition in the beer industry and PBR's continued success is proof of that.

I choose the type of beer I drink based on the occasion. I find PBR to be something I like in places that are dark and have kind of a "down" feeling. I also like it when I play darts, that and Miller Lite. Mainly because it goes down really smooth and I tend to drink lots when I play darts, so it is cheap as well.

And yet - surprise! Companies do that all the time. You also blamed their crap product on the technology of the times when they created their project, but that's clearly not true. Even if it were true, what's been holding them back from updating their recipe? Nothing. They've certainly updated their ability to mass produce, so the recipe is clearly up for grabs too.

Again - I blame a nation of people who haven't had, or bothered to take, the chance to learn what is available.

Also: Arguing that the because people buy Kias, they're good - You're not helping your case. Kias are poor substitutes for better products. The fact that they're economically necessary doesn't make them good. Ditto with crap mass-produced ****-water pilsners. They may be cheap, but they're still craaaaaap.

Just ate 2 hamburgers and heading to bed. That's like 15 hours at the gym wasted. Tomorrow will be diet shake day for all meals.

Yesterday's lunch was a grilled ham and swiss with stone-ground mustard and cream of tomato soup (NOT the same as tomato soup!) Heavenly.

Dinner was panko-crusted fried chicken. Tollerable.

Here's one for the bachelors: Infinite Beef Stew/Beef and Vegetable Soup.

Day 1 - Make a regular clear beef stew. Simmer cheap, tough beef, salt, black pepper and bay leaf on low until the beef is tender. Add potatoes and carrots, maybe some celery, cook until they're done.
Day 2 - Add some water and more potates and carrots to the leftover stew, cook until they're done. The potatoes from Day 1 will now be melted into kind of a thick, beef-flavored juice. Tasty.
Day 3 - Add a can or two of tomato sauce, and more potatoes, carrots and/or celery. Add a can of corn and a can of green beans, plus a handful of dry barley. Add some more beef (cheap roast, ground beef, anything) if you have it. Now you have beef and vegetable soup.
Day 4 and on - If you still have some base left, just keeping adding things to it. Canned peas, more corn, rice, more tomato sauce. Your soup will be kind of sludgy and not too pretty by now, but it will be good and tasty from all the cooked-down flavors from the first three days.

If you do it right, you can get quick and good eating for a week like that. It doesn't work for me anymore, my family always wipes out the base stew on the first day.

Start with a bigger pot. Blink
I do similar - What begins as a sausage rustica turns eventually into pot pie. But the process usually only takes about three days, and done.
