sionnach Now I'm desperately craving beer and pineapples. Damn you, oh leather-eared one :-) Aug 7, 2009

bilby Ha, I had a similar experience at college. Someone dropped off the leftovers of a Fijian cultural night and I decided it would be a good idea to round up a dozen friends for a hardcore Beer & Pineapple Party. Results were comparable to the peach schnapps effect, if somewhat chunkier :-( Aug 7, 2009

sionnach I think Pro has some kind of list wherein he collects random facts that various Wordizens have divulged about themselves at one time or another.

I actually worked at the schnapps factory two different summers - once, when I was seventeen, right before I started at Uni, and two years later, when I was nineteen, right before my last year of undergraduate work. Both summers were interesting and instructive. For instance, it was standard practice, if you worked overtime on Saturdays that, in addition to the time-and-a-half pay scale, each of us got to take home two bottles of free product. That first summer, there were four of us Irish lads, living together in a shared apartment, so after only 3 weeks of work we had jointly accumulated 24 bottles of different kinds of schnapps. What I learned is that it is a very bad idea to host a party where the only available drink is schnapps, particularly when fully 75% of said schnapps is of the peach variety. Cleanup detail the next morning was a horrendously unforgettable experience, one which remains seared in my memory to this day. We kept discovering little dried puddles of peach-flavoured vomit in the most unlikely places for days afterwards.....

reesetee *wishes for a sionnach-centric list only to add "worked at a schnapps factory in Berlin"* Aug 6, 2009

sionnach When I worked in the schnapps factory in Berlin, lo these many moons ago, one of the flagship products was a sickly-sweet peach liqueur known as Persiko, whose name derived from the German word for peach, Pfirsich. Aug 6, 2009

rolig I guessed this because of the Russian word for peach, пер�?ик / persik, but Bilby beat me to it. Aug 6, 2009
