Talking about weird cultural things. Pretty much every Spanish household has at least some of their drinking glasses made up of the glasses used by Nocilla (Spanish chocolate spread brand). https://dechocolate.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/nocilla.j...
On the streets I saw some buildup dirtiness behind those edges directly below the part you touch with your mouth.

It used to be like that in France with Maille glasses (mustard and gherkins).
Amora mustard glasses are famous as well. They are designed to be reused as table glasses and often have pictures on them so children love to get them. My son used to badger me to get all the Pokémon ones. See here for an example: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KDIMNfsuM3s/oardefault.jpg
> Bia hơi (pronounced “bee-ah hoy” and meaning “fresh beer”) is brewed without preservatives or added carbonation. Tank beer (tankova) from Urquell is same but it last a week or two in the tank to my knowledge and not just 24 hours as Bia hơi. It is properly the best pilsner in the world.

> Brewing: to prepare (beer, ale, etc.) by steeping, boiling, and fermentation or by infusion and fermentation
