Here's a historical perspective on the demise of the
stubby beer bottle. 
 
In the early sixties my father and his generation
were crying in their beer (literally and not just
metaphorically) about the demise of the long neck
beer bottle.  They complained that the new stubby
then being introduced was difficult to drink from
and difficult to pour into a glass for the ladies.
Moreover, the new caps on the stubbies couldn't be
twisted off with bare hands. They accused the
breweries of starting a fad that wouldn't last.
They believed that some day the long neck beer
bottle would return.
 
Twenty-three years later, they have been proved
right. 
 
The more things change, the more they stay the
same.
