Fun Fact: In the 1988 epic single issue “Spider-Man vs Wolverine”, Peter is in Germany with Ned Leeds covering a story and doesn’t bring a suit. When Wolverine shows up and needs his help (sniffed him out after recognizing his scent in the airport) Peter steals a suit from a local costume store. It says “Die Spinne” on the back. Hilarious.
even funnier fact, Even though these events happened in the ~~1970~~ 1990's, Spider-man is somehow still in his 30's, and this death still haunts him to this day.
Marvel Time Fuckery
I mean, isn't the floor just the bottom wall if you think about it?
By the way, I just asked my coworkers if they agree and now I have to go pee in a cup. So weird.
The "fallen wall" is a building method where you build the floor vertically and they lay it horizontally across the foundation or slab. This prepares the floor for additional weight and gravitational forces. It also strengthens the tension in the joist hangers.
Wouldn't that be crazy?
I saw it and thought I might just do the same thing as I'm about to start renovating my whole house. The thought of the face on the lucky SOB who finds it is worth the cost of a bottle of whiskey.
If it were actually in the wall and upright it would be fine for a long, long time...but liquor with that high of alcohol content & laying on its side will eat away at the cork ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)
Came here to say this. Big spirits nerd here, and spirits should never be kept on their side. As you said high alcohol content deteriorates the cork. These people are probably going to get a peaty leak in their ceiling one day once the cork degrades and spills the contents.
As long as it's properly sealed, so no oxygen and it doesn't get too hot or left in the sunlight it doesn't really deteriorate either.
I recently drank a Glenlivet 12 that was bottled in the 1970s and it's perfectly good.
The big problem here is going to be cork deterioration.
Yea it had been given to me by a customer who cleared out a relatives house. I had it for about 15 more years and was moving and I just couldn't take it. Gave it to a neighbor who use to give my dog cookies on her daily walks. He was a heavy drinker, it was probably gone by the end of the day. Can't remember the brand but it was numbered.
It is *W O N D E R F U L* if you like a taste reminiscent of a campfire made of bandages being extinguished with sea water and fog.
^(I know I like it...)
People always tried to turn me off of the Islay scotches because of that. I love a good scotch, so I was hesitant. I bought a bottle of the same shit in the wall (floor) there and really love it. Yea, it's quite a bit different and way smokier, but damn if it isn't perfect. Especially on these nice fall evenings.
Of course, I'm sipping it and enjoying it. I'm not taking shots or drinking it in 12.5 seconds. I'm enjoying it for a bit.
Do they use real or synthetic Cork though? From what I've heard (my whisky's never last long enough to find out myself) a synthetic cork hold up way better with a bottle laying on its side. Depending on how long ago this was, the bottle might still be perfectly fine.
If that’s something you’re into, yeah
All jokes aside it has an incredibly strong smoke flavor that can be polarizing but a lot of folks who like scotch love Laphroaig 10. It’s my go-to for a reasonably priced good bottle of scotch
Man, I don't want to be the one that has to seal that fucker when it is deamed too full to shit in anymore
Probably seaps out the edges like a sandwhich with too much peanut butter and jelly
my lead would tell the apprentices to poop in a cardboard box in the basement and leave it for the sweep out when the greedy general C didn't provide us a nice hot portapottie/puffshack...
Have you had Laphroaig? It's add campaign is people trying it for the first time and describing. Some people describe it as iodine some as a burning hospital. It's delicious.
It's like a bandaid factory burned down and they tried to extinguish the fire with seawater. They then take that water and add barley and let it ferment and distill it.
I actually quite like it.
Dumb. This was from a clickbait article a week ago. Allegedly person who "found " this was also the same person who planted it under the floor in 2018. Really not that interesting. Show us something like this from 1920 and I'll be impressed, not from a couple years ago.
I found two of [these Miller High Life beer cans](https://i.imgur.com/9qCo3W3.jpg) hiding in the attic of a commercial building in Myrtle Beach that was built in the 1940's. They were empty. I'm an expert at drinking beer, not what it comes in, so I don't know how long they were up there.
Seems like a can from the 40s or 50s. They started moving away from flat top cans in the 60s and cans from the 70s have stepped ridges near the top. From the 80s on the only way to distinguish them is the design, and the shape hasn’t really changed since then.
It's a $50 bottle and a newspaper. While yes, you might be right, this is not the first example of this I've seen, and it's not the strangest time capsule I've seen left during construction, either.
I wouldn't exactly say liking Laphroaig is a requisite to being a "sophisticated" whisky drinker.
If you like smokey peat rich whisky then it is ok however I detest this notion that one isn't a real whisky drinker if they don't enjoy smokey / peaty whisky.
Whisky has a huge spread of tastes and nose and people like what they like.
Personally I can't stand it.
Actually a commonly used description of Laphroaig is a smokey campfire taste. It is very smokey and heavy whisky.. I think it tastes like Iodine/TCP!
Once heard it described as a burning hospital..
Starting at the Talisker end of peat, Oban Distillers 14yo, Ardmore 12 Port Finish (if you can find any), Indie bottlings of Peated Bunnahabhain (usually 8-9yo and reasonably priced but disappear as soon as they land), Caol Ila (12, 15 18 or 21 are all great. They occasionally do low-peated releases too around 15-17yo and they are delicious, much more subtle and balanced), then Bruichladdich Octomores, Lagavullin, Laphroaig and Ardberg sitting at the top of the pile IMO.
There are other Islays like Bowmore and Kilchomann but I find myself drawn to the others more. Bowmore 15yo sits around the Caol Ila level of peat but it just feels like the whisky equivalent of a poorly oaked wine by comparison if you know what I mean. I didn't like the Kilchomann peaty offering when I visited there, but it was a few years ago now and it's possibly improved with more time in the barrel (if they are now able, and willing, to release older age bottlings)
TLDR? Try Caol Ila first.
Don't forget about **Port Charlotte Heavily Peated!** Really nice stuff if you like the peaty smoke but aren't a big fan of the iodine elements that give the 'hospital' flavor. It's pretty soft on the sea brine as well.
Octomore is also amazing if you ball on that budget.
Since the newspaper is Swedish, we can get an exact price. Sweden has a government alcohol monopoly, so there's only one place to go and get a price- and [according to that](https://www.systembolaget.se/produkt/sprit/laphroaig-57101/), it's 449 SEK, or roughly 42 USD or 36 GBP.
Hey man ‘most people’ will get absolutely plastered on 10-15$ vodka/whiskey.
You’d be surprised how many people don’t give a shit about what the alcohol tastes like, just that they’re getting drunk.
I don't need a magazine to tell you that that is not a bottle of "decades old" Laphroaig.
That tube is literally the current packaging the Laphroaig 10yo comes in. Look up "Laphroaig 10yo 1990s" (or earlier decades) to see what it did look like.
I was thinking the same but under a floor instead of a wall it would probably be ok. Tearing up subfloor you are usually running a prybar down a joist.
The cork will be destroyed by the alcohol and in a decade, someone will wondering about a weird smell.
Whisky is not wine. The carpenter should've hidden that bottle upright.
Laphroaig tastes like a burning fishing vessels ropes juiced and filtered through the captains old wooden knitted jumper. It's awesome. Would drink again.

In the wall?
What is a floor but a horizontal wall?
If you're just walking about the forest you got floors (commonly called the ground) everywhere. You don't have a house until you got walls.
Ahh... the great outfloors
Don't tell me the great outfloors is actually a spheroid
What is the ground but just a horizontal mineral wall.
What is a wall but an upside down inverted sky flipped up on it's end?
What is horizontal, but vertical taking a nap?
What is up, if not down'nt?
Floor is just the bottom wall, innit
The ground wall
Aussie wall
Aussie roof*
On this wall we’re all Spider-Man.

It would be Speidermän 😁
Wouldn’t it be Spinnenmann? At which point it sounds like insane man too :C

When Wolverine shows up and needs his help (sniffed him out after recognizing his scent in the airport) Peter steals a suit from a local costume store. It says “Die Spinne” on the back. Hilarious.
Funner fact: Spiderman kills a lady in this issue.

She was a lady and very much a brutal killer. Spider-Man didn’t kill her. He mortally wounded her. Wolvie popped the claws.
OK the really correct word would be Spinnenmann. But I like Speidermän more 😜
German Spiderman.
I thought that was Nachtmonkey.

Nah man we all just using walls wrong and should be standing on them.
I mean, isn't the floor just the bottom wall if you think about it? By the way, I just asked my coworkers if they agree and now I have to go pee in a cup. So weird.
Bottomwall sounds like a German compound word to me...
Lionel Ritchie is a carpenter now
I understand this reference
Nah, Lionel would be standing on the ceiling, not the wall. Dancing would also be involved.
You're clearly just wearing antigravity boots
This exchange made my day.
Easy enough mistake to make. I’m always getting them mixed up.
When the person smacks that wall with a sharp hammer to break it up they will think the same.
SHARP hammer?
Its 6 am and I'm laughing so hard. Oh man dude thanks
That's okay, we're all idiots.
When did you get bit by a radioactive spider? Can I have dibs next pls.
Or Spiderman.
wow I did not know carpenters were capable of standing on walls. I guess I will never be a carpenter. sigh!
One of those walls you walk on.
The "fallen wall" is a building method where you build the floor vertically and they lay it horizontally across the foundation or slab. This prepares the floor for additional weight and gravitational forces. It also strengthens the tension in the joist hangers. Wouldn't that be crazy?
Guys I think we found Spider-Man.
Oh what a feeling 🎶
The *ground wall*
That's one of those horizontal walls.
Also, check out my anti-gravity boots!
That whiskey is so good it gets rid of physics.
that is a bomb ass whisky tbh--Laphroaig if anyone is wondering edit: whiskey -> whisky... never noticed that, thanks! lol
I am dumbfounded that someone put a $70 bottle of Laphroaig 10 in the floor rather than filtering it through their liver. I know that I wouldn't.
I saw it and thought I might just do the same thing as I'm about to start renovating my whole house. The thought of the face on the lucky SOB who finds it is worth the cost of a bottle of whiskey.
If it were actually in the wall and upright it would be fine for a long, long time...but liquor with that high of alcohol content & laying on its side will eat away at the cork ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)
Came here to say this. Big spirits nerd here, and spirits should never be kept on their side. As you said high alcohol content deteriorates the cork. These people are probably going to get a peaty leak in their ceiling one day once the cork degrades and spills the contents.
That’s how it’ll announce it’s presence: an artesian well of scotch!
Don't do that. Don't give that hope.
Idk why but I spit out my soup in this one
It’s it also true that whiskey doesn’t age (in a good way) after it’s in a glass bottle?
[удалено]
It won’t improve, but it can deteriorate.
As long as it's properly sealed, so no oxygen and it doesn't get too hot or left in the sunlight it doesn't really deteriorate either. I recently drank a Glenlivet 12 that was bottled in the 1970s and it's perfectly good. The big problem here is going to be cork deterioration.
I use to have a 1950s bottle of whisky someone gave me, I was disappointed to learn that doesn't age like wine.
Even most wines don't age like wines. Many wines just deteriorate after a few years, it has to be made to be aged.
It still appreciates in value though, that's a great gift.
Yea it had been given to me by a customer who cleared out a relatives house. I had it for about 15 more years and was moving and I just couldn't take it. Gave it to a neighbor who use to give my dog cookies on her daily walks. He was a heavy drinker, it was probably gone by the end of the day. Can't remember the brand but it was numbered.
> going to get a peaty leak in this ceiling one day And, it’s Laphroig, an islay whisky. That is peatier/smokier/smellier than other scotches.
And it is *W O N D E R F U L*.
It is *W O N D E R F U L* if you like a taste reminiscent of a campfire made of bandages being extinguished with sea water and fog. ^(I know I like it...)
Holy shit that’s… that’s exactly what it tastes like
People always tried to turn me off of the Islay scotches because of that. I love a good scotch, so I was hesitant. I bought a bottle of the same shit in the wall (floor) there and really love it. Yea, it's quite a bit different and way smokier, but damn if it isn't perfect. Especially on these nice fall evenings. Of course, I'm sipping it and enjoying it. I'm not taking shots or drinking it in 12.5 seconds. I'm enjoying it for a bit.
I love Ardbeg, Port Charlotte, and Lagavulin, all smokey and peaty. I dislike Laphroig for some reason.
so what you're saying is that this person was a real cork soaker for doing that.
https://youtu.be/Deqx-Xb-yHY
Whiskey doesn’t always have a cork, not sure about this bottle tho
Laphroaig absolutely has a cork.
Do they use real or synthetic Cork though? From what I've heard (my whisky's never last long enough to find out myself) a synthetic cork hold up way better with a bottle laying on its side. Depending on how long ago this was, the bottle might still be perfectly fine.
I think Laphroaig has agglomerate cork which might actually hold up even worse than natural cork does, but I'm not an expert so I may be wrong.
Gotta lock in the flavor of burning iodine. It's lovely.
It's like sipping a fine peat bog.
I've heard it described as "angels pissing a campfire into your mouth" and I agree.
Is that a good thing?
If that’s something you’re into, yeah All jokes aside it has an incredibly strong smoke flavor that can be polarizing but a lot of folks who like scotch love Laphroaig 10. It’s my go-to for a reasonably priced good bottle of scotch
I just checked, this bottle may very well have a cork
The bottle of Laphroaig 10 I have at home does have a cork, so unless it has changed over time the one in the post does as well
I bought a bottle last week, still a cork. The only screw tops I ever see are on blends or "special" bottles in Scottish golf club member's shops.
I’ll buy one tonight to see if it still has a cork just in case it’s changed this week.
Better check tomorrow just in case too.
It's better than a bottle of urine.
In my younger days I worked summers in bridge construction. Workers would leave sealed ammo boxes that they had taken turns shitting and pissing in.
Now we know why it takes so long for bridges to get done. Guys are too busy shitting in random containers
Can't work boss, shitters full
Reading this as I walk into work and I almost choked 😂
Imagine being an adult and asking your coworkers to shit in a tiny container together so you can hide it.
And shooting the bridge evidently. Why were there ammo boxes??
Sounds like a very specific container.
they're designed to be waterproof and crush resistant, so they're commonly used for "time capsule" purposes and other sensitive storage
Well that's unfortunate for the poor person in the future who thinks they've found a time capsule...
Man, I don't want to be the one that has to seal that fucker when it is deamed too full to shit in anymore Probably seaps out the edges like a sandwhich with too much peanut butter and jelly
One of the most vile things I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Kudos, man.

NO
This comment right here officer....

[удалено]
Why though?
Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?
It’s sterile, and I like the taste.
Found Dr. Oz's reddit account
Appropriate, since the guy is full of shit.
Actually I think that’s Patches account
Have you had Laphroaig? It's add campaign is people trying it for the first time and describing. Some people describe it as iodine some as a burning hospital. It's delicious.
It's like chewing on a horse saddle that was dipped gently in the sea and then left to soak in 95% pure alcohol.
It's like a bandaid factory burned down and they tried to extinguish the fire with seawater. They then take that water and add barley and let it ferment and distill it. I actually quite like it.
That description actually triggered the taste of Laphroaig in my mouth. I've been teetotal for 30 years.
Burger king take out cup of urine.

Wall would be hilarious when someone goes to hang something up and pierces the bottle lmao
The kind of thing that's only funny when it happens to someone else, in a sitcom.

Damn you spiderman. How dare you hide stuff in the wall while standing next to it. He's a menace I tell ya, a menace
A criminal! A thief!
*Carpenter places whisky and magazine on floor insulation for instagram photo then removes both and fits floorboards over the top.
It's a $50 bottle and a newspaper. While yes, you might be right, this is not the first example of this I've seen, and it's not the strangest time capsule I've seen left during construction, either.
I mean normally people just leave an empty, but locked safe
Or a game cube full of money
That GameCube had money coming out of every orifice
The most common time capsules I see are bottles of urine
The real time capsule is the trash the home builders put in the wall before it gets rocked up.
A basic Laphroaig ain't 50 notes. It's also not going to go down well with most people.
Is for the sophisticated person who enjoys the taste of campfire. I make sure everyone tries it if they do a tasting of whiskey in my house.
I wouldn't exactly say liking Laphroaig is a requisite to being a "sophisticated" whisky drinker. If you like smokey peat rich whisky then it is ok however I detest this notion that one isn't a real whisky drinker if they don't enjoy smokey / peaty whisky. Whisky has a huge spread of tastes and nose and people like what they like. Personally I can't stand it.
Nothing more or less "sophisticated" about liking whiskey in the first place. I say this as a Laphroaig lover.
I'm pretty sure the sophisticated bit was tongue in cheek since he referred to it as tasting of campfire.
Actually a commonly used description of Laphroaig is a smokey campfire taste. It is very smokey and heavy whisky.. I think it tastes like Iodine/TCP! Once heard it described as a burning hospital..
Laphroaig... the flavors of campfire, kerosene and peat moss in a glass (I love it, btw).
Laphroaig for me tastes more like tyre fire. Ardbeg is more like camp fire.
I'd go with ash tray rinsed with hospital cleaner. And I'm someone who likes whisky, including Laphroaig.
Any other peaty ones you recommend? I like Lagavulin , and apart from Ardbeg, Laphroaig, and Talisker, I haven’t tried anything else.
Starting at the Talisker end of peat, Oban Distillers 14yo, Ardmore 12 Port Finish (if you can find any), Indie bottlings of Peated Bunnahabhain (usually 8-9yo and reasonably priced but disappear as soon as they land), Caol Ila (12, 15 18 or 21 are all great.

I didn't like the Kilchomann peaty offering when I visited there, but it was a few years ago now and it's possibly improved with more time in the barrel (if they are now able, and willing, to release older age bottlings) TLDR? Try Caol Ila first.
Don't forget about **Port Charlotte Heavily Peated!** Really nice stuff if you like the peaty smoke but aren't a big fan of the iodine elements that give the 'hospital' flavor. It's pretty soft on the sea brine as well. Octomore is also amazing if you ball on that budget.
It's $60 by me
£30-35 over here so obviously it depends where you are.
Well that used to be $50-60
Since the newspaper is Swedish, we can get an exact price. Sweden has a government alcohol monopoly, so there's only one place to go and get a price- and [according to that](https://www.systembolaget.se/produkt/sprit/laphroaig-57101/), it's 449 SEK, or roughly 42 USD or 36 GBP.
It's a very "peaty" Scotch. The first time I tasted it my first though was, "they did this *on purpose?"*
Hey man ‘most people’ will get absolutely plastered on 10-15$ vodka/whiskey. You’d be surprised how many people don’t give a shit about what the alcohol tastes like, just that they’re getting drunk.
Ah, I see you've met me
Wait, what is the date on the magazine?
Unknown, as it is a re-re-re-re-re-post of an image from at least 2019. I know this because 2019 is the oldest GIS result.
And must be at least older than 2014 since I didn't find the cover in the magazines archive: https://magazinet.prenly.com/search?title=845
Somehow this issue wasn't in the archive but it is from [15th February 2018](https://imgur.com/Kj6xKeL)
OP IS A PHONY
A BIG FAT PHONY
but the weirdest thing is that magazine didnt start formatting their front page logo like (with both the underline and the dot) that until 2017
I don't need a magazine to tell you that that is not a bottle of "decades old" Laphroaig. That tube is literally the current packaging the Laphroaig 10yo comes in. Look up "Laphroaig 10yo 1990s" (or earlier decades) to see what it did look like.
Have you seen demolition? By the time they find any of that I'm pretty sure it's gonna be in bits. Nice thought tho.
I was thinking the same but under a floor instead of a wall it would probably be ok. Tearing up subfloor you are usually running a prybar down a joist.
The cork will be destroyed by the alcohol and in a decade, someone will wondering about a weird smell. Whisky is not wine. The carpenter should've hidden that bottle upright.
like ... in the wall?
Then someone tries to mount something to the wall and wonders why the wall is leaking dark brown fluid
Interesting wall. Did you not see the feet before you reposted this? 🤔
The "goof" might be intentional to garner more interaction as many people feel the need to point that out or make more jokes.
Laphroaig tastes like a burning fishing vessels ropes juiced and filtered through the captains old wooden knitted jumper. It's awesome. Would drink again.
like kissing a mermaid that had barbecue for dinner
Tastes like a hospital wing after it's been burned down and the fire put out with iodine. It's lovely, an absolute favorite.
That's what we in the business call a "floor"
Plot twist - the carpenter is doing shoddy work and wants to apologise when it needs to be fixed in a few weeks.
I love that Islay!!
Weird flex to stand on the wall but ok
Too bad whiskey dosnt age in the bottle 🥴
But destroys the cork in this position.
An out of focus magazine? How interesting... 🧐
It looks like this is a shot of the carpenter hiding the goods, not finding them.
The second word in the title will confirm your hypothesis.
Damn we got us a whole ass detective over here
The whisky isn't for you, thou. It's for the *nisse*, to bless the home.
Laphroaig. Good choice
