This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

BTW, for people unawares, cider is traditionally an Alcoholic beverage but since around the time of the prohibition it is non-alcoholic in most of the USA.

In the US, if you say Apple Cider then it's non-alcoholic non-filtered apple juice. If you say Hard Cider, it's the alcoholic stuff. If you just say cider, it's context specific. Say it at an orchard or a breakfast place or a fall festival, it's going to be assumed to mean the cloudy apple juice. Say it at a bar or non-breakfast restaurant or at a party and it'll be assumed to mean the alcoholic one. Generally the only time one needs to clarify is if you ask someone to grab some cider from the store.
