I am on my phone, when I get on my PC I will look up XXX. |
That should bring back interesting results with

LOL, I was going to add the word cerveza or beer to the XXX and hope there is no beer porn online.

Avoided the porn danger by typing "cerveza tres equis". Found that you can actually still buy it -- the empty cans, anyway:

"A fine beer can that would be a great addition to your collection!"
Sounds like they're describing wine.
Not only that....these cans arn't from times long gone. They had to be a more recent retro effort, judgeing from the pull tabs.
Also....I'm pretty much sure that Dos Equis [XX] was the dark beer way back then.

Dennis, you're making me feel ancient! If you look closely at the photos you'll notice they have seams and one shows rust; they are
made of steel! Am I the only one old enough to remember those days? Also, the pop tops are the removable tab type that has been banned in
the US (for ecological and safety reasons) since the late 1970's. We used to love to go down to Baja, where they were still sold, buy lots of Tecate
(or Carta Blance or Superior or Modelo), surf, drink and make chains out of the tabs like in the "old days".

Are you kidding? I remember Church Keys.
Steel cans....oh yeah. Couldn't crush those on your head at a party. Big headache.

R U sure about that??? I still find quite a few of the old "bottle cans" laying in the trash heaps with the opener bottom but now I think about it, I
havent looked at the bottom of a carta blanca bottle in awhile. I think its time!

willardguy, I wouldn't know - we only bought cans. The bottles in those days were all returnable, so really heavy! We
could cram more in a cooler and carry more to the beach, and packing them out to the arroyo de basura was easier. Boy, life was simple then. I
wonder how much my love of Baja involves trying to recapture that simplicity.

Of course it is. Consider it your quest.

And Pop Tops? Garrett designed his metal detector business around those treasures.

Tecate is owned by Heineken, and the taste is different from the 60's garbage, the bad tasting Tecate started the fad to put lime in your beer, 1 to
kill the germs on the top of the can and 2 to improve the taste, I drank Bohemia then and still do if I can get it, but on my recent motorcycle trip
to Copper Canyon, I drank a lot of Tecates

Bad memories, for sure. After a sixpak, your head felt like it just took Sonny Liston's best shot. OUCH
