quick trip to the market

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 anyone? Mostly Pilsner...und...und Becks?

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.

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

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