re: Did Your Dad put salt on the rim of a can of beer?

I've seen both salt and tonys on the lids of old Cajun men's beers.

Don't see the point. Isn't it all gone after one sip?

My dad still does it

Pops does it all the time if he's got a salt shaker within reach.

He used to pour peanuts into his RC cola too.

Every old man I know from maurepas does it.

No but my dad kept his in the tool box so in the summer they would be 100 degrees.

He would pop the top and down it ha ha

My dad wasn't a pussy. He would come home from work every night with a 6 pack, crack one open right away, did whatever he had going on and by the time he was halfway done with the 6th one he would stop what he was doing, finish it off and go to bed.

In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really.

Now that's legit.Worked for my Dad in the Summers starting at 14.Picked that up from the old guys.My favorite was a Fanta Orange with peanuts.

Now that I haven't tried. Just never felt right doing it in anything other than a glass coke bottle

In Colorado we had a bartender putting shots of tomato juice in our beers. Wasn't bad so we took it up a notch and started having him put Bloody Mary mix instead.

Think the tomato thing is pretty common there in a wheat beer maybe

That's the same drink this dude from Puerto Rico was drinking at this party we went to yesterday. I forget what he called it. He was drinking it over ice. He's a teacher and his wife is a pediatrician fwiw
