I've been brewing a bunch lately (a honey ale and a British-style "Real Ale"), which means I've been prepping lots of bottles to put beer in. You can buy clean new bottles, but with enough foresight its cheaper just to wash and re-use commercial bottles of the right sort. But you don't want your beer in something with a Sam Adams or a Guinness label, so there's some scrubbing of old labels to do. Which leads me to introduce a new way of rating beer:
The Beer-Label Glue-Removability Scale!
Ridiculously easy to clean: Columbus Brewing Co
Super easy to clean: Sam Adams
Pretty easy to clean: Bass Ale
Moderate: Magic Hat
Pain in the Ass: Great Lakes
