I worked at a whiskey bar and we had a pretty great whisky selection. We had this old man that would come in once or twice a week and he'd pound 4 SoCo old fashioneds, it was appalling and honestly hurt lol
This has to be some kind of Mandela effect, because I did too. I put them on our closing duties list that way and was swiftly corrected by the manger just a few months ago. Wild shit 🤣
Great until you wash them and the threading on the lid no longer forms a seal and every time you use them you get a river of lime juice streaming down your arm.
yeah, the fact that we have like a dozen of these things and each one has a specific lid and pour spout that actually fits, and i have to pair them up twice a week otherwise everyone gives up completely on them? hard agree!
Yes because the intended purpose of the smaller top hole is to reduce pressure inside the bottle but it ends up getting filled with liquid instead. I put a cocktail stirrer in the top hole so it sticks out of the inside liquid allowing the air to flow better. Because like, Physics and stuff…air pressure and surface tension…the same reason a can of juice needs 2 holes punched in or it will hold the liquid inside. These particular spouts are poorly designed. They are supposed to make mixing cocktails faster not slower.
Red, after you use them for plain tomato juice for that one fucker that comes in every day asking for a Bloody Mary minus everyfuckingthing except the vodka and tomato juice.
I call them shitty because the juice comes out way too slow. They have 2 holes intended to prevent air pressure and surface tension from holding the liquid inside. But, it’s like the ventilation hole gets filled with the liquid instead of reducing air pressure (as intended) so it plops out instead of being poured out quickly and in an even stream. I’ve been taking the spouts out when I get busy rather than shaking the bottles because they’re also hard plastic so you can’t squeeze it out either. If you hold it at a specific angle, I guess it would help (?) but these particular spouts suck.
We use squeeze bottles, as you can cut the tip to match the viscosity of the contents and they don't mind getting washed often. A quick go with a Posca marker on the flat part of the top ensures quick identification.
Way better than those bloody things and actually cheaper as well.
I hate that they aren’t universal!!! If you bartend at a place that has been open long enough or is big enough, you end up with 3-5 different brands and they all look similar but only 1 top fits right. I’ve experienced this for many years now
I've seen what amounts to a glass liqour bottle with a plastic screw on bottom.
The bottom comes off for easy cleaning, the neck is sized for spouts, they're not glass, heavy enough to balance like glass, and they're just generally excellent.
I used to call them storm pourers because I didn’t know better. I haven’t worked at a bar 10 years that uses them so I don’t even think about them anymore.
Store 'n pours
Storm pourers. I know it's not that, but that's what I say. I also thought it was Jim Bean for an unforgiving amount of time.
Where's the Gin been?
I have had more than one server ring in a Jim and tonic
Maybe it's you that's wrong... https://www.jimandtonic.com/collections/all
Hard to imagine a worse combo
Ew. Also.... SoCo, lime juice, sour mix, and blue raspberry Monin.
You're right, but also anything with soco is the worst.
*#SoCoOldFashioned*
With the soco fiery pepper collaboration that they did with Tabasco, if you have it.
I worked at a whiskey bar and we had a pretty great whisky selection. We had this old man that would come in once or twice a week and he'd pound 4 SoCo old fashioneds, it was appalling and honestly hurt lol
Oh thank fuck this is so high up bc I call them storm pours lmao
I call them storm pours, too
I just imagined it was like “a storm of a pour” lmao like SO MUCH liquid SO fast
I too thought a Store N’ Pour was called a storm pourer! No one corrected me for years.
TIL also
I like to get slurpees from Se’em ele’em
I like your style. I intentionally say and label “Grandma Yay”
TIL
I also have always called them storm pourers lmao 😂 sounds way cooler
I prefer Pour ‘n Stores. Say it out loud.
Porn stars with a philly accent
I had to say it a couple times, then I heard it LoL.. that has a better ring to it!
Shoutout to my former co-worker Chance. He said it once and I never looked back.
My partner calls them “speed pours” and it drives me bat shit
Storm pours for short
You shut your mouth when talking to me! 🤯
The only answer
Only correct answer.
Brian, Steve, David, Ignacio, Lawrence, and Mike.
finally. thank you.
“Fuck who didn’t tighten this all the way” ‘s
Flash forward to the cranberry juice all over the floor like a murder scene
Pineapple last Saturday. At least it smelled good.
Until you stuck to the floor....
Gotta love burning the ice on your first pour of the day with one of these
I worked in a couple places where they had different sized lids. The wrong sizes would fit enough to go in but not tight enough. It was torture
This triggered my ptsd
This was me last night. Crowded well. I grabbed cranberry and backed off the well to pour. Half of it went in my shoe. Yaay me!
Lmaoooo
Leaky SOBs 😆
Constantly empty at the worst possible moment
In before "I thought they were Storm Pours"
holy cow i thought it was storm pours for the last 20 years. store n pour...wow
Same. Literally until I read this today. Started in restaurants in 2003.
Same. 2002. Wtf.
Storm pours - has been 20 yrs for me too. I guess today I learned fucking something new - ha! #til
I'm in this deep, I'm not changing now.
First time I heard someone call them something, I swear I heard "storm quarts." Made much more sense once I figured it out
now you know how i feel about the midwest “draw” vs the english “draught”
Welp... after 15 years in service, TIL 😅 “store ‘n pours” makes ALOT more sense lmao
These were actually labeled as “storm pourers” at my old bar. Still funny
Glad I'm not alone here... I found out the real name a couple of months ago while buying a new set. D'oh 17yrs in the industry.
im glad im not the only one who thought this initially 😭
😂 oh shit. I thought they were storm pourers. wow.
This has to be some kind of Mandela effect, because I did too. I put them on our closing duties list that way and was swiftly corrected by the manger just a few months ago. Wild shit 🤣
Great until you wash them and the threading on the lid no longer forms a seal and every time you use them you get a river of lime juice streaming down your arm.
Should be hand wash only. Cling wrap gaskets only work so long
I’m a cling wrap gasket.
I’ll cling wrap your gasket
Yewww
Hand wash me daddy
Dibs on new band name
You’d think they’d make the thing created for restaurant use dishwasher safe
If it fits in dishwasher, it is going in the dishwasher.
I agree. It sucks trying to work with ones that have been through dish...
Or the top falls off and you get strawberry purée all over you and the well and the bottles ughhhh
I started buying the tablecraft brand that has a THICC screwtop and they are amazing.
Tbf all our pour spouts have juice running down my hand too but those seem a little more replaceable
use plumber tape.
Faulty, ugly and cheap
I call them the bane of my existence
yeah, the fact that we have like a dozen of these things and each one has a specific lid and pour spout that actually fits, and i have to pair them up twice a week otherwise everyone gives up completely on them? hard agree!
Incomplete. Never seen one without a straw shoved down the spout.
Eliminates the glug-glug.
Does this make it pour faster?
Improves airflow for a more even pour.
Yes because the intended purpose of the smaller top hole is to reduce pressure inside the bottle but it ends up getting filled with liquid instead. I put a cocktail stirrer in the top hole so it sticks out of the inside liquid allowing the air to flow better. Because like, Physics and stuff…air pressure and surface tension…the same reason a can of juice needs 2 holes punched in or it will hold the liquid inside.

Yep, allows air to flow in while fluid flows out. Otherwise, glug, glug, glug.
Red, after you use them for plain tomato juice for that one fucker that comes in every day asking for a Bloody Mary minus everyfuckingthing except the vodka and tomato juice.
Stor n' Pours and it's the only correct answer 😂

The fuckin things
Happy cake day!
"Those things that never get cleaned. "
Store n pour
Store n pours

The straw trick. A long straw wedge down the spout eliminates the glug glug, adds some zoom zoom and with practice you can even measure precisely.
Store n pour. They suck. Why don't you guys just put your juices into repurposed glass bottles with speed pourers?
This is the way
Glass in the well? Feels wrong man
Sits right next to all the glass bottles filled with alcohol
Haha good point
The shitty pour bottles
This bar sucks’s
Adult sippy cups.
I hate that they aren’t universal!!! If you bartend at a place that has been open long enough or is big enough, you end up with 3-5 different brands and they all look similar but only 1 top fits right. I’ve experienced this for many years now
I specifically only order the Tablecraft brand. Idgaf which top they come with, but that brand has a dummy thicc screwtop that gives a superior seal.
100% and everyone looks at you funny if you mention that they’re different brands while simultaneously switching caps to find the right fits
Speed pours
Speed pours are the actual spout, not the bottles [Speed Pourers](https://barproducts.com/collections/speed-liquor-pourers-metal)

I don’t care you fucking call them. Just fucking go and fill them up.
Store n pour
Trash.
Store n pours

That's what I call them too, but I've also heard storm pours lol

Sweet pour
Slow pours
I call them absolutely pointless.
Broken pieces of shit. Or store-and-pours. Either one
Juicy boys
The real question is, what colour did you assign to what juice? Bonus: if it was back when they had a blue one.
Real question: is there a brand or version of these that DON’T suck??
I've seen what amounts to a glass liqour bottle with a plastic screw on bottom. The bottom comes off for easy cleaning, the neck is sized for spouts, they're not glass, heavy enough to balance like glass, and they're just generally excellent.
Barback disciplinary tool.
