bannork Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 When punters perch themselves on bar stools in various bars, they're often served small bottles of beer sitting in a circular polystyrene container. Could anyone tell me what these are called in advance? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The scientific term seems to be: bottle cooler sleeve BUT: whom do want to use the term with? At a bar? Indeed "condom" and pointing to bottle will be understood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed "condom" and pointing to bottle will be understood Thanks for that KB and indeed to giddyup- yes, I forgot to add 'thanking anyone' before I wrote 'in advance'- anyway, I'm writing an article about Khaosan road in the late 1980s,There was a small street bar at the time opposite the police station, I've no idea if it still exists.

p_brownstone Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Drink from a glass - only peasants drink beer from the bottle. I'm sure you believe it looks "macho" drinking directly from the bottle, but that bottle has almost certainly been stored in the Bar back-room and crawled / peed over by rats and cockroaches etc.. Leptospirosis- and other diseases - look it up. I don't think any long-term Expatriate would ever drink from from a bottle ..... and I certainly cringe when I see newbies trying to demonstrate what "Old Hands" they are in this way,.

B1TcoinLife Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Leptosporoisis would be transmittal through rats urine but you would need to give the bottle a good deep throat bj while the rats piss is still wet for a successful infection as it is killed by heat or sunlight like most infectious diseases You could safely drink from a bottle easily and 99.9999 % of everyone does Besides, I personally would not do any more than touch the part of the bottle the lid was covering while pouring it down My neck...

Patrick I suppose the glass has been sterilised prior to your beer being poured in it, also devoid of any soap residue to kill the head, and that still doesn't overcome how quickly the beer will get warm in a glass. Most likely the glass has been rinsed either under a tap or in a sink of less than clean water, but hey, enjoy!

rgs2001uk Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The term you are looking for is, mee chai, named after the Condom King from Suk soi 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannork Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks for that rgs but as the market I'm writing this article for is not based exclusively in Thailand it might be better to go for a term more widely known- looks like cold sleeve or stubbie cooler. I must say I do like the term cold sleeve, it sounds kind of menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
