It's made in open vats and any rats/mice/spiders/earwigs that fall in are part of the recipe.

That's what they told me when I asked why it was cloudy, compared to, say, Bulmers Old English.

And then there's the cider blindness caused by the arsenic in the apple pips .... apparently drink over two gallons in a day and spend the rest of it in the dark.
