When I was a kid, a family friend would send a big tin filled with popcorn to our house for the holidays. I was overjoyed by the sheer amount of caramel, cheese and buttered popcorn contained within the tin, consuming it by the handful until I could eat no more.

Gentle Snark
Full Throttle Bottles has everything you could want to pour down your gullet, affordably-priced and ready to move. And it also has a rideable elephant such as the kind one used to find grazing in front of supermarkets. Rides on "Tusko" costs only a dime, and if you leave the premises without springing for a ride on this possibly bibulous pachyderm you're missing the point of Full Throttle, of Georgetown and very possibly of life itself.

Place Market in my backyard, there was really no place to shop for
