Summary: 

The American manufacturers of beer refrigerators (the ones in pubs)
thought we were crazy to un-standardise our bottles.  They thought the
stubby was the best thing going since they didn't have to worry about
different-sized bottles.

The demise of the stubby has also taken away one of the great ice-cream-
money-making pastimes of kids in Northwestern Ontario:  bottle-scavenging.
Kids now have to collect a bunch of each kind of bottle before they can be
taken to the Brewers' Retail for reimbursement.
