That’s where I get my batteries in West Babylon. I buy the blems at 1/2 price. Never had a problem
They're certainly my favorite. Did you know there's only three actual manufacturers of batteries. East Penn is one of them. Deka is their house brand. Most battery brands people swear by, like Interstate (or West Marine :rolleyes:) are just rebrands of one of the three makers.

So they get a raise from just under $40 hr to $61 a hour. Thats over 100,000 a year to change dirty sheets 😳

That’s probably because anyone that used to drink it is dead or just to old 🤣

Sadly, it's just marketing. All those classic brands like Rheingold, Schmidt's, Piels, Ballentine etc. were always around. They just weren't in the public consciousness.
My friend who moved to PA liked Schaefer. He was able to get it locally for a while, but eventually his distributor stopped carrying it. Well, lo and behold, my distributor can get as much as I want. They tell me they don't stock it because nobody buys it. But they'll order me as much as I want. And since my friend always treats me like gold when I visit him, I make sure I bring him several cases of Schaefer
Schaefer is no better or worse than any other mass produced beer. Popularity is all marketing. Frankly, I was thrilled with the craft brewery renaissance. It was like my father talked about when you couldn't imagine there not being a brewery on Long Island. Schaefer was the last one back then.
For a while, it came back. Then big corporate swallowed it, and now you can hardly find anything that isn't an IPA or some bulk light beer. And now we're back to the same garbage.
The more things change.... :(
A girl I went to grade school with - her father was the Ad man that created the famous jingle.

Sounds like they were sitting pretty.
"The" famous jingle you say.
When I picked up the first couple of cases, the guy behind the counter insisted we sing the jingle together. "C'mon you know it."
Sadly we knew both of them. That one, and Schaefer City.
Marketing. It's a thing.

I’ll bet that’s on the list of “Jobs Nobody Wants” the diseased say we need illegals to fill.
What?
