One crazy summer. it hasn't gotten any less crazy, that's for sure. for real though, making it illegal for gas stations to sell shooters has vastly (like >90%) reduced the amount of those things you see laying in the street everywhere in town in just over a year and a half. you want shooters, now you have to go to a grocery store that sells them and have them unlock the cage next to the self-check for you lol

redshirt posted:I still have nightmares of CT's blue laws. Package stores only. No sales after 8PM. No sales on Sunday. We got rid of those in like 2012 E: grocery stores can sell beer and are trying to get wine passed but the package stores are fighting it hard. You can buy up to 9pm Mon thru Sat, 6pm Sunday.

As I understood it as a kid, nips was short for nippers which is what the old timers called the bottles

Those little bottles are “shots”. Because they hold 1 shot of liquor. Also I’m not a huge fireball fan, but they had a mini keg of fireball at the liquor store last time I went and it looked dope.

(Oregon) When I worked at 7-Eleven, we did not sell these but customers would ask about them all the time. There never was a name for them, they would just describe them. "You know, like those little bottles of fireball whiskey."

Vermonter here, yeah, they're nips. Fun little thing about those "Fireball" nips that have become real popular: Plenty of states, VT included, can only sell liquor in dedicated liquor stores (VT is weird in that technically you can put a state-run liquor store inside an otherwise privately owned store, but all liquor sales go through a dedicated, state-owned "liquor only" register.) But beer, wine, malt beverages, etc.. can be sold anywhere. So most of those "fireball" nips (some places even have pint bottle-sized) are not the same as the "regular" Fireball (which I think technically is a whiskey, albeit a very poor quality whiskey with nasty cinnamon flavoring.) Instead, the ones sold at gas stations near the counter are a cinnamon-flavored malt beverage designed to kind of taste like the cinnamon-flavored whiskey. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/27/1151...s%20misleading. AKA Pseudonym posted:The entire North East quadrant has too many specific terms for things. You people need to settle down with that poo poo. Well Jeezum crow, you can get yourself right outta my dooryard with that; you ain't gettin' any of my creemee with that attitude. Gettin' me wicked pissed. Why don't you bang a u-ey and go back up that road, you flatlander. I'd say go back where you came from, but can't get there from here. But before you go, help me bring these boxes of dungarees down cellar, would ya'? They're heavier than a dead minister. I'll give you half my grinder, only been in the ice box a couple hours.

DrBouvenstein posted:Vermonter here, yeah, they're nips. Maine has something similar - all liquor sales are technically state run, but the local gas/pizza/convenience store also sells hard liquor if they are part of the state agency system(there's a dedicated sign for it). No separate registers though.
