There is a pub in the Garden District of New Orleans called the Bulldog. It's on the semi-famous Magazine St. They have a special deal every Wednesday night. The special is that every time you buy a pint of beer from a choice of any of their fifty beers on tap, you get to keep the Bulldog pint glass. And, no, despite what you might guess, you get a free pint glass with every order, not just the first one. So you could easily walk out of there with a stack of five pint glasses and on up to however much you like to drink.
Pretty good deal, don't you think? I certainly try to make it every Wednesday, pint glasses are useful glasses for lots of drinks besides just beer.
So they've had this deal for many years now. The way they afford is just to buy a serious amount of pint glasses in bulk.
Going to the Bulldog nowadays, after Katrina happened and the city is still in shambles, there's one pint glass that was made before Katrina but they're stilling giving away that everyone notices something peculiar about.
Makes you think.
