No, not brainwashed--they are usually 84.7 % drunk every day. They suffer from Foster's beer syndrome

No real Australian would be caught dead drinking Foster's unless it was the only beer available for miles around... oh, excuse me, KILOMETERS.

Likewise, while we pay $5 or $6 a botlle for Corona in the US because it's so exotic, Mexicans consider it to be the Pabst Blue Ribbon of their country, if not lower. It's the sort of beer that homeless winos can pick up for the equivalent of 50 cents or so.

And it works both ways: There are plenty of countries where the people actually consider Budweiser to be an outstanding import that's well worth the $7 or so per 16-oz bottle they pay for it, while we can get fourties of Bud from the Quik-E-Mart on the corner for a buck forty-nine.

Two words: ROLLING ROCK.

I'm from Western PA and wouldn't even piss in the bottle (I have standards for my urine). But, at least for a while, it was very big in the big cities on the east coast.

Corona Extra kills! In Mexico it's like the water---don't drink the Corona! However, good on you aussies! I hope you can vote in a better government soon. We need one too, but resist the leftists and gun-grabbing RATS.
