A question for all you non-Yankees out there.
Is honey sold in bear bottles outside of the U.S.? I couldn't figure that out for myself. --Joe Quick 13:23, 11 July 2008 (CDT)
- In reply to your question on my talk page - I have not seen honey bears in China. I have seen them in the UK but they are not so common. The a common UK bottle design is a bee hive shape or pattern with rings going round the jar's surface. Derek Harkness 20:16, 11 July 2008 (CDT)
- what about rooshia, where the bear is the national symbol? maybe filled with sour cream or caviar instead? Hayford Peirce 20:47, 11 July 2008 (CDT)
- I have never seen such a thing in my extensive travels across EU countries, and I am sure that the airport shops would make a big deal out of them if they had any! On the other hand, I never visit the UK, and last lived there in 1993, so you need to check with the over-Americanised British department of the European Union :-) Martin Baldwin-Edwards 21:13, 11 July 2008 (CDT)

- Is this an extremely early April Fool's Day 2009 article? --Robert W King 23:22, 11 July 2008 (CDT)
- Nope. I just started with a Google search for whatever was in front of me when I decided to start a new article. It was almost corn bread but I figured this would be more interesting. :-) It turned out to be rather hard to uncover much relevant information until I came upon Mr. Gamber's name... --Joe Quick 23:54, 11 July 2008 (CDT)
