Hi Koby,

OT for a second.

Clarification, beer drinkers in the Netherlands avoid Heineken when they can. It's a product we would rather export than drink ourselves, and somehow, it has become a marketing success (just like some silly fools in the Netherlands have been convince to order US Budweiser in bars ... go figure).

I've always called Heineken a rental beverage, as you only temporarily rent the liquid, before evacuating it again.

Cheers,

PS = And yes, I'm Dutch, and would rather go for something other than beer when Heineken is the only choice.
