At least you can get iced almond lattes in other places (I think Starbucks often have them?). Irn Bru is more difficult to get.

Before the advent of the Euro it was very common to get all manner of coins handed over to shop staff in the UK to pay for goods, because the person had clearly been on holiday somewhere in Europe and had some of the coins still mixed in with the British coins in their wallet or purse. Italian lira were quite commonly mistaken for British coins, as some of them looked very similar at first glance. The 100 Lire coin for example was very similar to the 10p coin.

But that problem mostly went away when the Euro was adopted, as the Euro coinage is more difficult to mistake for British coins.

That's just the strength of unity emanating from our glorious federal currency.

Given the outright criminal nature of the pharmaceutical industry in the United States, that can hardly be called a felony.

I haven’t decided yet. I have about 20ish bottles of single malt. A few bottles of bourbon. About 20ish bottles of wine. I have been trying my hand at gin martinis lately so maybe that. :)
