do europeans know about beverage drive thrus
I saw this and IMMEDIATELY tossed it into my international chat like a live grenade and it has caused much mayhem, so thank you. Results so far:
Mixed results from the Americans because this shit is legal in only 30 states and almost impossible to get past a zoning committee so while they exist, they're extremely localized. Lots of yelling at Ohio.
---
Saskatchewan: "What's insane to me is that you have these with the population density you have. What am I going to hit in Turtleford?"
---
Bahia and Sao Paulo: "I'm stunned we don't have these tbh."
Prague: "We have these in my city, but only for boats."
Manaus: "My uncle has one of these! He also has a window on the other side so you can drive your boat up too :)"
(much Brazilian and Czech high-fiving)
---
Brisbane: "There's an astonishing level of trust being displayed that people aren't just going to open a beer immediately"
Tallahassee: "Oh no, there is 100% cop camped like half a mile down the road to arrest people who didn't stow the booze correctly."
Brisbane: "Oh it's an invasive policing operation! Yeah, that's the USA."
---
Newcastle: "No, this looks correct for the country that has bears breaking into your house". (The Australians and Africans have a bit where every time someone mentions their wildlife, they mass @me (who had a bear in my house) and the guy from Singapore whose mom adopted a wild water monitor and says it's her favorite son now)
The aforementioned Singaporean: "How am I exposed to an onslaught of your media and culture at all times and you STILL find new ways to horrify me?"
---
Vatican City: "You can ride your bike through the brewery to get beer but the abbot in charge doesn't like it"
---
Jakarta: "We don't have this because we're Muslim but we do have drive-thru Marijuana"
Kyoto: "We don't have these because we have public transportation. You can buy liquor from vending machines at the stations though."
Munich: "We don't have these because we are disciplined enough to pack our beer with us if we are going somewhere that drinking is acceptable, or there will be beer at that location when we arrive."
---
India: "Why have drive-thru Liquor, when you can have liquor delivered to your vehicle? GET ON OUR LEVEL" (no less than nine different images from across the country of people in trucks that have been specifically modified to operate the business of driving up to other vehicles in traffic and selling them liquor)
---
Pudasjävi: "...I should open one of these."
Everyone: "NO!!!"
(he has decided against this because "half the year people only use snowmobiles, so I'd have to shovel snow INTO the drive all winter and that's too much work")
How does the international chat feel about the ones that are fast food-style drive thrus that serve mixed drinks, instead of being a modified liquor store?
General Consensus is that these are far more respectable and a much more sane design than "drive your truck through the middle of the 7/11"
Several people would like to know what a "Crawgator" is though, including myself.
