BÜZ (Alistor! Impressed Me!)
Normally I wouldn't post such a thing but this was just way too fun and cool! While I was streaming the other day the conversation wandered around to generic packaging, and something that I always thought was fun: generic beer. Not because it's liable to be any good but because I was highly entertained by the packaging- there was a company in the Canadian west, back when I was in school (the 80's) that was the Beer Brand Beer Company: they sold very cheap, utterly generic beer in plain yellow cans that just read "BEER" (along with the usual nutritional information and other required sidebar stuff). I was having fun with the idea of generic alcohol in a can so I doodled a generic can of booze (for the fallout shelter?), though to be silly I spelled it "BÜZ" because hey, three big fat characters on a can! Plus an alcoholic content warning because why not?
I was still streaming, when not that much later someone says "Hey, go look over on the Discord!", and I pop over and Alistor! has done this great 3D render of the BÜZ can!
Yes, I have been told that it's "not that hard" in a lot of the 3D tools, but lemme tell you it would have taken *me* hours to do it, so *I* think it's amaze-cool! Thanks Alistor! !

Heh, reminds me of this https://images.app.goo.gl/p1k2NTZGxyLZXtF86
Isn't that the point though? Acquire skills, knowledge and experience in a subject, spit out results quick and seemingly effortlessly, those in the same field will realize well no those are foundational skills except that very few people have that foundation?
It's not just the 80's
I had some of this a couple years ago. It was fine.

When the stuff came out back in the 80's, in I think it was Manitoba they actually passed a law restricting the price of beer, so that you couldn't sell it as cheap as Beer Brand Beer was.
10 Barrel Brewing Co. (now a subsidiary of InBev) has black-and-white trucks for deliveries with the brand in a black stripe at the bottom of the sides, above which is "TRUCKLOAD OF BEER" in five-foot letters. Clear and to the point.
Heh, that sort of thing is always fun and I tend to support companies like that on the grounds what if they do something like that they're a bit more "human" than most companies.
Hahahahah, it would not be the first time that sort of an issue cropped up: the Chevy Nova sold horribly in Spain, because nobody at Chevy realized "no va" is "doesn't go" in Spanish.
Back when I was in university, more than one student from outside Ontario thought we were just using a nickname when we told them where to buy beer.
Then they came back from The Beer Store....

LOL, I spent a lot of time, in my 20's, in the Toronto-London-Niagara area visiting friends so I am very familiar with The Beer Store (and Sleemans, back when Ontario was the only place you could get it!)
