What does the label have to do with that the deposit?

UPC codes. The machine that reads the returnables, reads the UPC codes. The label holds the UPC code.
If there were places that still took returnables manually, I don't think they'd take them without a label either. |

We just take the case back and they check to see if all the bottles are there. PA is so different from other states.

One of my friends was sexually satisfied, and she still chewed ice. Then again, I like to chew ice also (I like the numb feeling =)) and I suppose I'm sexually frustrated, though I definitely don't obsess about it.

[QUOTE=Elwood;51114]I've only ever heard of chewing ice as a sign. QUOTE]
Ah it all makes sense now. I was not allowed to have sex during my pregnancy with my daughter due to complications (not that there are police for that or anything, but it scared me enough where I complied). I would get those bags of ice from Sonic and go through one a day! (Of course, the doctors blamed this partly on anemia, but still!) |

I'm always peeling bottles, when I have them. I thought people were giving me strange looks because I'm a tiny girl drinking bitter and real ales by the pint. Now I'm slightly paranoid that people were seeing a tiny sexually frustrated girl drinking by the pint, and thought I was even more desperate
. Nah, they can think what they like. When is it worth listening to men in the pub? Though I was once very confused when, it being near Christmas, after a few rounds of bottle peeling I decided to order a Baileys for a change and my boyfriend had gone up to get it and the men in the pub were telling him how I ought to drink it, including downing it all in one go or putting lime in it and letting it trickle down my throat. I wonder if there was innuendo in the advice of how to get rid of a small amount of pale, thick liquid? It was worse wondering this when I had the drink in my hand and they were all watching ...

Well, this is just great. When we were little kids, if you could peel off a label in one piece from a bottle (obviously not beer), it was a sign of good luck, and to make a wish ("I wish I had "Burger Time" for my Atari 2600!!!"). Now it means you can get boinked. Add to this that I've always chewed ice because it was nice and cold, melted, and was the closest you'd ever get to non-flavored Italian Ices in the off season as a kid. Hell, even in season. My Da could be cheap. However, if it's a sign of anemia, that could make sense, being 1/4 Portagee with beyond prison pallor skin (ya get that when you're agoraphobic for 8 years...).

Yup, the "sexually frustrated" label peeler was on the ark with Noah, that's how old that is. And, yes, I was around then.
I never heard the ice thing, though, since I never put ice in anything. Ew. Putting ice in whisky gives you whisky and water and that's, like, Spawn of Satan in my eyes.

So does this mean that when my friend sent a Shiner Bock label in the mail it wasn't a reminder of those nights spent drinking when we should have been studying, but a way for her to tell me she's really a lesbian and wants to have sex with me?
Nah, I'm not buying that one. |

I've never heard any of these. In fact, when I saw the topic, I assumed it had something to do with ripping labels off of clothing.

I remember people talking about this when Toby Keith's A Little Less Talk came out. The DJs were jumping all over the line that says "She was peeling the label" because of what it supposedly signified.

It's rarely that I'm sexually frustrated, when I do tear off a label. It's that I'm really bored.
~*~*~*NFBSK WARNING: if you want to behave like a BSK, then skip this line*~*~*~ In fact, I've been known to have a couple of good sex sessions ("good" as in my legs are shaking when I try to stand) in a short amount of time, then go out to dinner, and STILL peel the labels off of bottles, just to keep myself awake. So does that mean I want to have sex in my sleep? |

I know this is an old post, but I'm really surprised I'm the only person who thought (by which I mean I played along with) the idea that being able to peel off a beer label intact meant you were a virgin. I know I read an article recently about ways of "proving" virginity throughout the ages (women only, of course) that included removing intact beer bottle labels, but I can't remember where. While searching, the closest thing I could find to a link to such an article was, ironically, a snopes page. http://www.snopes.com/risque/school/bracelet.asp

I remember both. If I peeled and tore at it I was told I was sexually frustrated. Normally I'd just say "Yep." If I got it off in one piece (happened occasionally) I was a virgin. To that I always said "Uh, nope."

Just asking you to back up your claim, that's all. You made a statement like it was fact. It's pretty standard to back up claims like that on this board.

I am severly sexually frustrated. Not a sniff in over four years. But I haven't felt the need to peel a label off a bottle. But that's an anecdote. |

It didn't have anything to do with getting to the absolute truth (I think most people would agree there is no link anyways); I was just commenting on the style of the statement. I wasn't trying to jump on him. I can see Weezy is new to the boards, that's all.
