quick trip to the market

supermarket entrance

Well, I ventured out yesterday to the supermarket to kind of explore and get my bearings. All the packaging for foods you'd want are the same, just the names are impossible to pronounce on the first try. So, it's pretty easy to get what you're looking for. Just figured I'd take some pictures to give you a taste of some of the unusual things I saw along the way.

beer aisle
Beer anyone? Mostly Pilsner...und...und Becks?

the real budweiser
I know what you're thinking, "They totally stole the Budweiser name and screwed up the typeface." Well, my friends, this Budweiser is the original Budweiser from the Czech Republic. In fact, the two (American and Czech) have been in copyright disputes for years. And in this tasters honest opinion, hats are off to the Czechs.

American Sissy Drinks
Don't worry, there's still some options for you American sissy drinkers. Granted, these were buried somewhere in the back of the store.

Cigarette Advertising
Cigarette Advertising in Germany is alive and well! Marlboro has even taken over the grocery store conveyor belt dividers.

Bubba boots
Lastly, I have no idea. Jsut thought the concept was hilarious.
