I remember the aisle of no-brand stuff from when I was a kid. My mom
swears that for a while the no-brand beer was actually labatt or molson

though, because the no-brand stuff tended to not have kosher certification.

what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear
and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There
is another theory which states that this has already happened."
