There are 12 months in a year, and 12 beers in a twelve-pack.
A coincidence you think, not true. There are 24 hours in a day and
24 beers in a case, another coincidence, just what are the odds of
this ? And many people believe that a Supreme Being created the world
and all upontoit in six days and rested on the seventh. How many beers
in a six pack, a third coincidence ? I think not.
And the strangest coincidence of all, in the
word "BEER"; "B" is the second letter of the alphabet, "E" the fifth,
and "R" the eighteenth, total them up; 2+5+5+18=30, the average month
has 30 days and we can also buy 30 pack specials .
Citizens of ancient German kingdoms stored
beer supplies in groups of 12, 30, 6, and 24 bottles and consumed them
in a precise and timely manner which aided them in keeping track of the
month, day, and hour. This is where the term "Happy Hour" originated.
Those who did not like the marvelous yet
healthy taste of beer invented a mechanical device to keep track of
time, hence the cuckoo clock.
