Are you sure they weren’t celebrating the arrival of canned-pop?
Heh, I hadn’t even really
Heh, I hadn’t even really looked at the photo. If you need any other irony ruined, let me know.

I will certainly look to you to be my go-to guy for irony destruction.

Let us celebrate the working
Let us celebrate the working conditions of bauxite miners/workers worldwide and loss of bottling jobs on the Island not to mention the additional costs to the environment so we can have what mainlanders have!

The real celebration should
The real celebration should be over the end of the 1.5 litre glass bottle. Anyone who ever had to handle bulk quantities of those things or the breakage of even one of them will be happy. Another tidbit is that aluminum can recycling is the only product that actually pays for itself (it is cheaper to recycle a can than to mine more aluminum).
