Bought a 24 can cube of Jack Daniels and Cola to take away for the Barrington trip, and thought I was getting it for a pretty good price (well reasonable anyway).  When Penny pulled the first one out of the fridge and commented on the size, I noticed that they were only 330ml cans.

How long have they been doing this?  

Since they realised JD drinkers couldn't handle a man sized drink ...  ;D

What I wish someone would come up with is a 375ml glass with lines on it so you know when to stop the sprit and mixer. My scotch just gets stronger and stronger every time i fill up. I only ever buy pre mixed when I only want one. I don't like the scotch premix but I do like the wild turkey ones.

Stronger each time? I fail to see the problem  :cheers:

Nah I would like it in one glass. just fill to this line with spirt and then this line with dry. and then add ice if you like. I etched a schooner glass a while ago with a grinder and it was ok but a more defined line would be great. I can only just see the line I etched and at night it can be hard to find.

thanks for the find. I wonder if I could put some of those auto measures up on a pole in the camper. ;D

Standard 7oz glass, ice to cover base of glass one layer thick.
Take JD or viable alternative, invert bottle and cover ice, fill to normal level with coke/ air / whatever.

Enjoy.
In fact I am now.

My guess is that 375ml cans will, in time be fazed out.  In Asia most all of their cans of drink etc are 330ml and I reckon we will follow suit.  Bottled beer has also been getting smaller over time.

In retail generally they are reducing sizes to give them impression that prices are not rising, for example some brands now sell rice in 750g  containers instead of 1kg at the same price and people generally don't notice the difference. 

We generally buy coke and have a bottle of rum in the trailer...

Early in my drinking career I went out withe a mate and respective girlfriends.
He was drinking Beam and I was into the Bundaberg OP rum.
At the end of the night I was the one driving the porcelain bus.

No more rum for this black duck :-[

Premix is for teenage girls... >:D Let their eager boyfriends pay the alcopop tax, I'll MMO thanks.

As for rum drinkers, ever noticed how they crack the first one about 9.00 am? Suppose if you stay pi$$ed you won't notice the taste.

Cheers,

Cam and Coke.

Yep I think you are right. Most bottled beer is 330ml these days...why don't they just skip the middle bit and go back to twist-tops (throwdowns), I'm sure the tooling is still sitting in a backroom somewhere at ACI...

I only buy 375ml, which mostly means Boags or Coopers, and New or VB every now and then to keep the citizenship up to date :)
