Re: Price of Polo mints?
I have the same battle with ice in cider. They are convinced thats the correct way to serve it (even though it affects the measure of the drink 
I can't stand it with ice, dilutes the cider, and makes the drink too cold to taste properly (though with some Aussie drinks that can be a bonus!

Lucky!
City prices have always been shocking, but the few pubs that exist in the suburbs weren't so bad. My tatty local used to charge $6 for a pint pf Bulmers, then they closed during covid, turned it into a nasty glass & chrome monstrosity, and doubled all the prices
As for Polos, I remember them being two & a half new pence, and 17 in a packet! Probab~ly eaten my body weight in them over the years

In Australia I enjoyed (now and again in the summer) a really cold (cannot drink cider any other way) Strongbow sweet cider but they do not sell it here in the UK (sweet version) our eldest lived in the south west (UK) for a few years and he really enjoys a cider, personally I think it’s looney juice lol but our eldest said they drink it from birth “down in the south west” lol

I'm not a fan. I had it in the UK a few times and thought it was okay but not great. There's a cidery 10 minutes from where I live and they make it but I just find it too strong and hard to drink. They do a cloudly cider though which is just fantastic. I'm happy with the mainstream ciders like Bulmers and Magners that most pubs in WA have on tap. Hard cider - which is better than those Scandinavian ciders which are all rage but are just too sickly sweet. Garbage

Nowdays around Victoria 425ml schooner is the most common sold beer in pubs & clubs from my observations & experience.
I think it's a generation thing as at my local RSL myself and others under 50 drink schooners, the older guys drink pots.
