I always get annoyed by those wine bottles that have the huge concavity in the bottom. You know they're doing it just to rob you of content.
And Thai liquor is much the same. Not that they use concavity. They've never mastered that art -- probably because there is no word in Thai for concavity, so they just don't grok it. (Interestingly, they have thirteen words for rubber band, but I suppose that's a digression we need not follow.) The Thai technique is to stuff the liquor bottle with dead things, which robs you of content just like concavity. I've tried chewing some of those things, but they just don't have much liquor content. Effing cheapskates.
