I used to drink Crystal when I lived up in Thunder Bay. However, moving
down to Toronto no establishment seemed to carry it. Luckly the beer
stores did.
	Anyways, when the big switch to tall bottles started about a year
ago I wrote a letter to Labatt's. In it, I voiced my opinion that I
prefered the smaller bottles. This was both because they poured easily
and it was a bit of Canadian culture. I received a form letter back
saying something along the lines of "the people want the new bottles
and it is more cost effective to carry only one style".
	Oh well Labatt's, I also noticed you finally switched Crystal
to the tall ones (Also stupid new label).
	Export is my choice now!!
