hate to tell you bud, you ain't no unicorn.

i don't think i know a single person that returns their empties anymore...maybe at the cottage, but even then....

According to the published statistics 99% of beer bottles are returned. That makes me think that most people don't treat them like you and I

perhaps 99% of them returned by 1% of the ppl...the old people that walk around the neighbourhoods at night collecting them from recycling bins

Beer cans go into the chiminea.

I recycle cans because they are a pain in the ass to collect and store, I return bottles though.

wouldn't cans be easier to store because you can just stomp on them making to make them nice and flat....

To be honest with you I never considered that

I guess when you put it all in perspective, sitting there crushing beer cans on your garage floor after emptying them and then storing them in a plastic bag and transporting them via car to a beer store to get a dollar seems awfully stupid...not that bottles are any better, but they "feel" better/easier

I don't store them/return them anymore. I put them to the curb, and some dude rides around on his tricycle and grabs them
