Where the 10-Ounce Bud Is the King of Beers

Noah Adams had a great feature on NPR's All Things Considered about St. Mary's County, MD - a rural part of eastern Maryland where local practice dictates that Budweiser beer is sold in 10 ounce, not 12 ounce cans.

The 10-ounce cans aren't sold in very many places in the United States. But in St. Mary's for the past 50 years, the 10 is indeed the king of beers. Apparently, folks there are quite pleased to pay 12 ounce can prices for 10 ounce cans.
