And they missed their chance to crush coca cola

I mean at least it's a friendly, casual "walk" rather than a threatening, drum-laden "march"

FTFY.  And they wouldn't have made up the sixth-largest military in the world even had they worked.  But the story is great, so I won't tell if you won't.

If the Mick's can name a bevvy Black and Tan why can't Ben & Jerry do the same?

Yeah. It's not a thing in Ireland. It'd be like trying to order a drink named after the KKK in Mississippi.

If you like the drink that much the name in Ireland (and England I think) is a half-and-half.
