"It'll tickle your innards!"

The definition of bootlegging is so broad that I think you can even legally be charged with bootlegging if you source your alcohol products for sale from anywhere other than a distributor, e.g. buying in bulk from Costco or a discount liquor place to stock the bar.

In general, I think it typically means illegal transport and sale, since not too many people have historically trusted moonshiners or developed a taste for moonshine. There was that weird moment in the mid-2010s where reality TV caused a huge interest in moonshine, but that was just distillers realizing that they could capitalize on a trend by making unaged 80-proof corn liquor, throwing some cinnamon sticks and apple slices in a Mason jar, and calling it “moonshine.”

Yup!

Yeah I meant Pepsi as in the Company. I'll edit it to say "Pepsi Co"

Yeah I occasionally drink the stuff, still a pretty metal story, though.

As a fellow enjoyer of battery acid manufacturing precursors, I agree, it's one of the tastier ones.

Honestly it's even interesting for me to think of the sodas here as more subdued cause to me they're all quite sweet and strong tasting lol :3 I have heard that from people who have sampled both though.

Also on the note of antifreeze.. it made me think of american fanta, which is an orange see-through liquid, and apparently doesn't even really taste of oranges (?), meanwhile here in europe it's a more opaque orangy yellow and is made with orange juice :3. I think it's probably the easiest to see difference between all the sodas we have in both countries

Rasa :3 they also make syrups, and water, and fruit water (which I think is what la croix is) and other stuff ^^
