The OS beer thing has been around at least since 96. I came up
with a few additions to the list:
>
> MVS Beer:
>
> Another product from International Beer Manufacturing. Also known as
> "Man-Versus-System" Beer. Only comes in Blue 5-gallon cans, opens
> readily, but frequently causes the user's head or bladder to explode.
> If you are unable to open it, a team of experts will arrive within the
> hour to assist you. Ingredients are even more proprietary than VMS
> Beer. The instructions come in 30 500-page volumes.
>
> JAVA Beer:
>
> Comes in the prettiest cans ever seen. When the can is opened, the
> aroma makes you think it's the greatest beer ever brewed. The trouble
> is, 90% of the cans are empty. The ones that aren't empty contain a
> liquid that is incompatible with most people's taste buds. The
> ingredients are in the public domain, though. The makers want you to
> think it's an OS beer, but it isn't really. To make real use of it,
> you have to already have Unix Beer, but it does work with most of the
> available flavors.
>
> AOL Beer:
>
> Comes in little cardboard boxes that force you to drink it thru a straw.
> The effect of drinking it is similar to a good Lobotomy. Like all true
> narcotics, the first drink is free. Also not a true OS Beer. Most
> users drink it with Windows 3.1 Beer, but secretly wish it worked with
> just DOS Beer. Most of the people who receive the free beer samples in
> the mail pour the beer out, and re-fill the carboard containers with
> something more tasty.
