Chef’s Note:  Happy New Beer’s Eve!

Chef’s Note:  What in the world happens to Logan’s sammich in the 8th panel?

I can see Clint and Bobby are messing around, so I’m assuming someone is messing with Logan. He definitely looks surprised. And there’s some pale yellow Kirby-crackle around it, which further indicates something super-powered is going on – but what? I’ve gone up and done the list of everyone present and no one has an “Embiggen Sandwich” power from what I can tell.*

Chef’s Note:  More importantly, who eats a sammich at a BBQ? Unless that’s some kind of Texas Toast burger? Because those are some FAT slices of bread there, Mr. Grummett.

Chef’s Challenge:  Can you tell what brand of beer they are drinking?

Here’s a hint: If you look closely, you can see the letters “S-O-N” on the side of the can Logan is holding – his fingers covering the first few letters. Therefore, knowing Logan is from Canada, it is only logical to conclude that he is drinking one of Canada’s best known brews: Molson.

As you can see, comic book food archaeology requires acute attention to details, advanced level deductive reasoning, and an exhaustive knowledge of both comic-book as well as culinary history.

Just kidding! In an earlier scene, Tigra notes it specifically – in one of the better insults I’ve ever seen thrown Logan’s way:

“You Molson-drinking, aboot-saying troll!”

 


* Yes, I know Giant-Man is all about the embiggening & smallifying. And I know previous to this Logan made a sneaky late hit on Hank (hence Tigra getting all clawy). So Hank might be looking for payback.
But as far as I know he can only do it to himself, not other things. And he doesn’t usually have the lemonade crackle, right? More to the point, how is making someone’s sammich bigger any kind of payback or revenge? I wish it happened to me all the time.
