Are you sure there was even ice to begin with?
That looks like Pollo's floor, which means Pollo was most likely involved, which builds a good case for there never having been ice in the first place.
Ha! Oso, ya gotta cover for me on this one.
but, admittedly, all I offered was an Iceman Standards critism.
Pollo said that "Ice won't be happy with the lack of ice in the chest."
I replied" well........"
The picture was taken but the beer was cold, in fact nearly 24 hours later there were 5 Coronas(not bought by either Pollo or Oso) and a couple of Bavieras and Brahmas which were up to Iceman standards. We bought 5 bags of ice and had to walk them home melting in the Paraguayan heat.
This is a queston that has been haunting me for a while. Why do they drink the little bitty beers in Puerto Rico where it is hot and in paraguay drink the liter bottles where it is damn hot?
That is an excellent question Oso. I can't believe how little I actually thought about it while there. I'm thinking it must be because the big ass bottles usually came in a bucket of ice which renders the bitty bottles unnecessary. However, they had big ass bottles at the dispensas too.
My best guess is economics. Even poor ass Puerto Ricans could afford beer in tiny bottles.
The paraguayans most likely have a far inferior welfare system, and therefore if the guay gov. is going to keep it's people as ignorant and appeased as the PR gov. has been trying to do, it all stands to reason that the guay has to have big ass returnable bottles regardless of the heat.
Oh, and Pollo, what happened to your blue wheelie?
The blue Wheelie was set up as a decoy icechest.
Brilliant! Oso, you are truly worthy of your cape.
more data for your discussion....i have observed many more folks in PR toting travelers,and enjoying a pequeña mientres tanto on any given roadside than la gente here in the Guay...
Ol´Blue type coolers run around 70 bucks here.
ultimately though, i agree that it is a matter of economics.
There was a Pollo sighting yesterday. He was wearing a cape with a "lonely star" and some stripes. Very inspiring.
