Summary: Bring back the stubbies 

I' m not one to generally complain, but there is something that has been
disturbing me more and more lately.  Canadian breweries seem to be switching
more and more to the tall neck and twist off format for their beer bottles.
 
I understand that some people prefer this kind of beer bottle, which is fine 
by me, but I also know that there is still a few people out there for whom
the 'stubby' beer bottle symbolizes a part of Canadian culture (maybe a 
small part, be still a part).  After all how many forigen beers come in
the 'stubby'?
 
I was fairly content with the way things were, until, to my dismay, I 
discovered that my favorite beer 'Crystal' (which many people haven't
heard of, it's brewed by Labbatt's), no longer came in the old 'stubby',
but was only available in the 'new' bottles. Well I prefer the 'old'
bottle, and was curious to find out how many other people out there felt
the same way.
 
Maybe if there's enough people who want the 'stubies' back, some of the     
breweries will bottle a few brands in them.
