Re: Terminology poll-

I chose other just to be different/difficult.

I really prefer the micro brews. Much better taste.

Re: Terminology poll-

We call them 22's most of the time, even if it's a little bigger. I think it comes from all the Alaskan brews making 22oz bottles.

Re: Terminology poll-

I call em "Tall boys", even though a true tall boy around here used to be 16 oz, but the terminology still works.

I've also heard them referred to as "Monster Cans".

Re: Terminology poll-

We call 'em "Doubles" (probably because they're double the size of a standard 12 oz. can).
