Who? Dunno - but probably not you. Fancy paying "inflated prices" for "spic p!ss" that "tastes like crap"!!!

BTW, despite it's innocent origins, I think you'll find hispanic folk generally take offence to the term "spic". But I'm not hispanic so won't bother mentioning that.

Actually, wouldn't the bloke who figures he can brew a "premium" beer like Crown lager in Australia, and then sell it for similar prices to imported beer that someone has had to ship over here, be smarter than Mr Fosters? I've never understood how Becks, Corona etc can sell for the similar prices to local "premium" beers.

I knew that was coming. It was given to me

I used spic p!ss as it rhymes and Corona is often called that. No offence intended to our many latin readers. I also made fun of Aussie beer so it balances out.

I knew that was coming.

Thought as much - but couldn't resist!!

Printer companies.

I'm not sure which is cheaper.

A) buy printer ink from a shop.
B) send equivalent amount of water into space.

No seriously.

But the fosters sold in the UK is not the same as the stuff they sell here.
The Fosters in the UK is a lager, albeit a cheap and natsy one.

There you go - I didn't know you get worser than worst?

In england certain people have a habit of ordering a Fosters top or Fosters dash.

Basically a fosters with a little bit of lemonade in it.

Don't know why, it still tastes like gassey bum water

I reckon it is whoever owns Fosters.

NAh

Its the bloke who invented the widget.....

Canned guinness never tasted so good.

That is true..... though initially I confused it with aglet, which did not taste so good.

Totally agree with Landyacht.
Bottled water can be more expensive than crude oil.
Or even similar in price to the unleaded that runs your car.
None of the so called mineral water actually comes out of the side of a mountain.
I've seen a documentary which exposed the bottle water companies for using regular tap water that is filtered and purified.

Now selling us our own tap water for high prices, which may have as little as 100 mls of mountain spring water per 100,000,000 litres.
Is F#@king clever.

if you'd tasted the water that comes out of a tap in Perth,
you'd be happy to pay a couple of bucks for cold, filtered, bottled water.

The People who are the smart one not the smartest however,

would be the ones who can sell advertising to the consumers

Eg. BUYING stickers of brands like Ripcurl Quiksilver etc at $9 for .30c worth of time and materials.

It is purely adverising for them and there making money from it instead of paying for it.

Sure i have lots of windsurfing stickers and other stickers on my van but i sure as hell didnt pay for them and there only there to let other windsurfers know who there following

I was at the Coke factory in Brisbane not so long ago and got to have a look at the filtration and line for Mt Franklin and Pump water...yes it is tap water, and yes it is very purified. The guys that work in the purification area are dressed like surgeons to keep and germs and foreign matter out of the process.

Funny how many of us see the ability to extract $$$ out of consumers as smart. The more you can con, the smarter you are.

I should have drunk bottled water 10 years ago

try the tap water in any other state! we've got it goooood

Too true
Just back from a quick lap around Aus and had mild gastro most of the way round
Could have been dodgy amenaties etc etc, but pretty sure it was dodgy water we were drinking in most places
A little lemon or orange cordial would usually make it drinkable but some places even that would not hide the horrid taste
Yeh we probably should have purchased "spring water" but hey, we like to rough it (and im too much of a tight arse to pay for water)
Perth water is Great
P.S Might also have too many beers at a few places
