A. No. Beer is a food product...the fresher the better. Budweiser is guaranteed to be fresh for 110 days from the "Born On" date printed on the bottle label or bottom of the can. Always store your beer in a cool, dark location.

Mountain Dew Trivia.....

In the early 40's, Ally & Barney Hartman developed a lithiated lemon-lime drink as a mixer for hard liquor. As a joke on Tennessee Mountain Moonshine, these two brothers from Knoxville called their soda Mountain Dew. In 1948, they registered the trademark and began marketing the mixer. By the late 50's, the drink still only had local popularity. Then Bill Jones, a former fruit flavor salesman, tinkered with the formula, adding some orange juice and other ingredients. Sales spiked almost immediately. In 1964, Pepsi bought Good Ole' Mountain Dew.

The inventor of 7-Up, C.L. Grigg never explained how he came up with the name. Some of the stories about the origin are:

1) Grigg saw a cattle brand with the number '7' and the letter 'u'.

2) The drink has '7 natural flavors' and carbonation.

3) The 7 is for the original size - 7 ounces - and the Up was for 'bottoms up'.

From the 7-Up website: The earliest 7 UP advertising featured a winged 7 UP logo and described the soft drink as “a glorified drink in bottles only. Seven natural flavors blended into a savory, flavory drink with a real wallop.”

SKIM MILK

Skim milk contains more calcium than whole milk.

Most of the calcium in milk is not bound up in the fat globules that are removed when 'skimming' the milk, but rather in the water content of the milk. Removing the part of the milk (the milk fat) with a lower percentage of calcium, increases the relative percentage of calcium in the remaining milk.
