New Jersey's Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company churned out the world's first beer can in 1935, stocking select shelves in Richmond, Va., as a market test. The experiment took off and American drinkers haven't looked back since, nowadays choosing cans over bottles for the majority of the 22 gallons of beer they each drink per year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Canned brewskies may have only hit shelves in 1935, but the drink's history goes back much further — at least 6,000 years, in fact, to ancient Iraq.
Though it is impossible to tell just how many important decisions in world history were lubricated by a pint or two, the potent potable has played a role in at least a few milestone events, from the plagues of medieval Europe to the founding of the United States.

Your grandmother just passed away, and you're combing through her attic deciding what to keep, what to toss, and what to sell. And suddenly you spot it: a box of Hummels, the collectible figurines that debuted in 1935 based on the illustrations of one Maria Innocentia Hummel, a German nun.
According to renowned antiques expert Terry Kovel of Kovels.com, the figurines initially gained popularity in the United States because soldiers during World War II bought them in Europe for their wives, girlfriends, and parents, who "thought they were cute".
Prices, Kovel says, have "gone to hell." "If we have a Hummel whose book value is $325, they are now bringing about $50, sometimes less," wrote estate liquidator Julie Hall, the author of The Boomer Burden: Dealing with Your Parents' Lifetime Accumulation of Stuff, in an email. On eBay, ultra-rare Hummels still occasionally fetch big bucks -- 'Adventure Bound' recently sold for $1,135 on eBay. But that's the exception. Many other Hummels don't sell at all -- or sell for less than $50, a once unheard of price for Hummels.

while getting your WING-WANG SQUEEZED and not
SPILL YOUR DRINK.
By P.J. O'Rourke
When it comes to taking chances, some people like to play poker or shoot dice; other people prefer to parachute jump, go rhino hunting, or climb ice floes, while still others engage in crime or marriage. But I like to get drunk and drive like a fool. Name me, if you can, a better feeling than the one you get when you're half a bottle of Chivas in the bag with a gram of coke up your nose, and a teen-age lovely pulling off her tube top in the next seat over while you're going a hundred miles an hour down a suburban sidestreet. You'd have to watch the entire Mexican air force crash-land in a liquid petroleum gas storage facility to match this kind of thrill. If you ever have much more fun than that, you'll die of pure sensory overload, I'm here to tell you.
Not safe for work.

The internet is awash in lists. We're sure that somewhere there's a few billion government dollars being spent on why we humans have such a limitless appetite for all things numbered, but it's no wonder we adore them: they're fun, easily digested, often-trashy candy for the brain. But from the great swathes of pop-culture enumerations, some stand out like beacons in the foggy internet night. (Ahem: just a few glorious examples from Nerve.) Great online lists shock us, make us laugh, and teach us valuable lessons (flush the toilet before taking that sexting photo, m'kay?). The format may be grossly overexposed, but the best content deserves to be lauded. Here are the most outrageous, clever, and sexy catalogues of the year that was: the Top 20 Internet Lists of 2009*.
