I recently saw some news/documentary show(I forget which show) that had a segment on beer making. There was one stage where most of the ingredients had been mixed together but no hops added (and if I remember correctly didn't have any alcohol yet either); it actually sounded rather good. They they said the were going to add hops to give it bitterness. I know different people have different tastes and all, but as someone who is not a fan of bitterness, my first thought was "Why would you do that?!"

We don't associate bitter with pleasant, but not bitter at all can be bland. Most non-deserts are a little bitter.

And it may be true that in modern beer, hops is added for flavor, but back in the day, it was a preservative,

I suppose that Green Fairy also doesn't contain any fairy and baby oil any babies. However, in case of the Long Island Iced Tea, there is real potential for confusion.

Just have another one, rinse and repeat until confusion goes away. Shouldn't take long...

Sorry for the double post. Long time since I visited these forums, and I seem to have misplaced the delete button. (We do have a delete button, right?)

Nope.  There is no Delete button.  Sorry about that.

Oh. Right. Thanks, one thing less to worry about I guess.

If you figure out you want to delete before you hit submit, you can just leave the page. Afterward, all you can do is edit the second one into a quote and add a comment, "What an excellent post".
