9) Hardly anyone drinks out of jugs anymore.

I’m talking straight-out-the-hollow, White Lightnin type jugs. The good stuff.

And here's an equally heinous assault on our culture: does anyone remember how the characters in The Sun Also Rises drank out of these amazing leather pouches with leather strands that strapped over your shoulder as they walked through the Basque country? (Or at least that's how I imagined them at the time). Whatever happened to those things? Wouldn't you rather see some yuppies walking around with those instead of the fruity eco-friendly metal things? Wouldn't we all be enriched?

(And by the way, I guess I'm technically one of those yuppies, but since when was it environmentally friendly to mine for iron ore?)
