Stupid brewery! Obviously, it should have been labeled a "chocolate white stout," not "white chocolate stout."
I had some people over last weekend and offered one of my guests a home brew. I said I had a belgian quad, a porter, a milk stout, an Irish red ale, and a cream ale. She said, "something yellow colored and not too ale-y". Not knowing what "ale-y" tastes like I gave her the cream ale and she seemed to like it.

Also, NEVER load a CamelBack with beer. You will never get the smell or taste out no matter how many times you wash it out.

Honestly, if that happened to me, I'd chalk it up to a mistake rather than ignorance. They're probably on the same tower/rail/coffin, most likely next to each other. Busy bars make swaps like that all the time, and unless it's radically different in color, it's not enough to notice they pulled the wrong tap when they looked up to see some random person waving money/etc
Never had torpedo myself, but it always looked like it was very close in color to the PA... not like they handed you a Coors.

You'd think if someone was to be spending ~$18 on a 6 pack they'd educate themselves at least a little about the beer they were buying.

From a compilation of crazy-ass Cosmo quotes SWSBO sent me:
"37. Give him a beer facial the combination of the egg white and the yeast in the hops hydrates and improves skin elasticity... but you can just tell him that your lips can't resist his delicious, beer-flavored face."
Right from my microbiology book:
Up until the early 1900s beer was a hopped alcoholic drink, ale was unhopped. Just terminology differences. Here's a good read about the history of the wording of ale and beer. http://zythophile.wordpress.com/2009/12/14/the-long-battle-between-ale-and-beer/
Egg white??!?
Balls. Well it was funny until I clicked that link

Most likely the book wasn't published anywhere near that time, and I am also pretty sure if it was, the book has had an update and/or revision since that time(the early 1900s?). So no it's still wrong. This is supposed to be researched and scholarly work and that definition isn't near current or correct. So yes it IS funny. Don't let him knock you, some people like to pull this type of stuff, drawing on antiquated material from beer history, to sound like they know something, and make these ridiculous types of corrections. Makes them feel smart or something. "Well actually it used to be blah blah," Well it ISN'T now so no still wrong. We had a few throw downs in this thread over this type of thing already... I remember a nightmare of something about an archaichly phrased book??
archaic, but technically correct!

got his name from the freckles on his nose. we thought he looked like Howdy Doody
I heard this dumb 13 year old girl saying beer kills brain cells, makes you gain weight, and destroys your liver.
Was like.. ***** I ain't that fat.. YET.
A girl about the same age said "alcohol destroys lives" and got an approving nod from her grandmother. I didn't know what to say. Some battles are not worth fighting. It does irk me that people raise children to be afraid of everything, and cast blanket judgements.
Grog, what a cool looking dog in your picture, what breed? The pic is very small in my app, beagle or basset or something I am guessing

I heard a radio ad today for a recently opened brew pub. They compared their "freshest beer in Idaho" to the ever popular BMC. I just wonder why they would bother. BMC drinkers won't change based on a radio ad from some "froofy $4 a pint place! 'Merica!", and craft drinkers will assume either they don't know beer well enough to make anything good, or recognize it's a full-of-crap marketing technique and avoid the place out of spite.
