Well. This just makes me hate people from California even more. And I don’t even drink beer. I just need a better reason to hate people from California. Well, other than being jerkfaces. ---

The northeast, and more specifically Western New York, is its own little bubble when it comes to certain aspects of culture. I was down in Cleveland with 2TurboZ a few years ago. Went to a pizza place for some food. Ordered a pizza and wings, and they looked at us like a dog that doesn’t understand you. Come to find out, they don’t have a deep frier there, so no wings, fingers, fries, etc. Another example, down in Florida 2 years ago for a vendor show. Ordered food from a restaurant in the resort. Ask for hot sauce, waitress tilts her head and gives me a blank stare. After a second or two, she asks “Tobascco sauce?”. Sigh… ---

yeah - i love normal hot sauce, but tabasco is just some skeevy shit like, britney spears prolly likes tabasco no deep fryer someplace like that? i think you just went to a dedicated pizza place… that happens sometimes. and yeah, labatt’s pretty good… but whatever - we’ve already established today that i’m obviously no connoisseur of beer ---

NC- no cheap good beer people ask if you want ranch dressing with your wings How do you fuck up wing sauce? seriously! its just butter and Red Hot. There is no “hot sauce” only “Texas Pete” Anything worth eating is probably deep fried no decent bakery bread or pizza Catholics are considered “non-christians” I could go on. but I won’t -yankee in a southern land ---

I support domestic products as much as possible, I absolutely love the beer commercials of the last 15 years, and Im happy to see them do well… but seriously, Bud is TERRIBLE. Its not that Blue is great, its that Bud is TERRIBLE. I cant fathom how it can be the best beer in a bar by a long shot, yet it was down there. Its not even drinkable, and this from a guy who loves a good 40oz of St Ides from time to time. And while the pizza isnt always good around here, the key is that there are plenty of places where you can get great pizza. Some places, you are begging for a dominos bc its their best place, ugh. ---

I went to Michigan in June to meet up with a bunch of people from all over. I brought a case each of Canadian and Blue. The Texas and Ohio people never had it before that night, and theey drank all of it on me. So…in conclusion, Canadian beer \> \* beer brewed on this continent ---

> [@walter](#): > > lol @ thinking “culture shock” is the inability to get locally brewed beer. Well, culture shock is typically defined as unexpectdly encountering a difference in way of life. Maybe it’s not the most profound example, but I thought Labatts was available throughout this country and didn’t realize that it is fairly centralized to the Northeastern US. Oh, and a “locally” brewed beer would usually be one brewed in your city, or at least your state, well maybe at least your country… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lol-culture-shock/15102.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lol-culture-shock/15102.md?page=3)
