- THE FATE OF THE STUBBY
- THE FATE OF THE STUBBY
Background (Preamble):
"Stubbies are a type of bottle which is shorter and with a slightly larger diameter than the now predominant longneck bottle. Starting in 1962 almost all beer in Canada was sold in stubbies until the beer companies chose to switch to the American-style longneck bottle, between 1982 and 1986."
- Wikipedia
"We feel that we as Canadians were robbed a little bit of our cultural sovereignty when the stubbies slowly turned into long-neck Americanized beer bottles. Stubbies played an important part of Canadian cultural history and are certainly a symbol of Canadiana."
