Mexican case of Pacifico...
Recently we were in Ensenada visiting some friends. I took my old deposito case of 20 Pacifico's to exchange for another case of ice cold Pacifico's.
Come to find out that now the cases consist of 24 Pacifico's. When did this start to happen? I was surprised.
But, at least now you get four more on each run.

I noticed it last year. The problem is that I designed a specific spot in my kitchen to accomodate the 20-bottle case, and the new one won't fit.
Time to remodel, I guess.

There goes standardization! Who would have ever thought that 20 beer cases would change to 24? Huh?
dang....

Right, of course. I'll just transfer the remaining 20 to one of the old cases I've got gathering dust in the garage. What the hell was I thinking?

Another Pacifico surprise--what we found available yesterday was an 8-pack, not a 6, and it was in cans instead of bottles.
Bigger Pacificos, and more of them. I'll drink to that!

I purchased the Pacifico 8 pack in cans at the Ensenada Wal-Mart.....I prefer the bottles, seems to taste better. I also have a case of Noche Bueno in
the fridge for emergencies...
