I do totally remember.
I remember the time when the press cried "there is no cork left on earth!!".
I remember the time when cheap wine came with plastic corks.
I remember the time when cheap wine had cork corks again.
- tomcam 3y agoI don't drink alcohol but I could tell you about the devastation I felt when Mtn Dew went to high fructose corn syrup.
- tomcam 3y agoSure, downvote my pain, you monsters

- deebosong 3y agoYour corn-based pain amuses me, cretin. I'll deign some packets of cane sugar to alleviate your pathetic woes. (Honestly, HFCS prob has wreaked legit havoc via the "death by 1000 papercuts" method.)
- tomcam 3y agoI am groveling in pure joy
- dylan604 3y agowhat does HFCS have to do with the availability (or not) of cork?

- fennecbutt 3y agoTbf upvote/downvote systems are useless without context. If it's users with similar upvote/downvote patterns as you = higher weight, then it's more effective.
- _sys49152 3y agohappened to me when coke bought out moxie. now its bitterless hfcs trash. Devastation indeed, RIP.
- jerzmacow 3y agoI thought moxie was Orca brewing, is that who Coke bought?
- _sys49152 3y agoidk new hampshire cans sold out to coke. pennsylvania still makes the bottled ones and i believe theyre still sugar.....but it dosent taste the same. the new hampshire product was superior. coke nerfed it to nothing.
- tomcam 3y agoYou feel my pain, brother
- TylerE 3y agoI believe you. I didn’t experience the switchover, but the real sugar/original recipe “Throwback” from about a decade ago was yummy. Can’t get it anymore, though.
- tomcam 3y agoPro tip: lasts longer if you mainline it
- TylerE 3y agoIronically synthetic cork would be much better used in high end bottles, as you don’t have th problem of one occasionally disintegrating and ruining a bottle that’s been maturing for decades. The amount of speciality products around wine corks is prettty insane, all the various removal devices and sealers, etc. A simple, impervious (Mylar lined?) screw top would be the actual best for both practical and “archival” purposes.
