He adored my first ever adult boyfriend because he brought round some Sapporo (Japanese lager that at the time came in a can where you removed the whole top as you opened it). So I figured the wax seal would tickle him.

Fast forward a few months and I asked him what he thought of it.
He didn't even remember it.
Mum backed me up - the one with the red wax on it?
Nope.
No memory at all.

Ah well, I'll know next time that a bottle of Tesco Value Blended Whisky will be appreciated in the same way!
