Die frostigen Temperaturen während des Oktoberfests führten zu einem erhöhten Kuschelbedürfnis - und einem reißenden Kondom-Absatz. [..]oftmals standen Besucher gar vor fast leeren Regalen. Kondome des Herstellers Durex konnte man nach Angaben der Firma nur noch in vereinzelten Märkten kaufen. Die Firma verkaufte während der zwei Oktoberfest-Wochen angeblich 1,5 Millionen Kondome und verzeichnetet damit einen Zuwachs von 21 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vormonat August.
so decrease of 300 000 liters of Beer and 200 000 visitors less then last year but condom sales better than ever. 1.5 million condoms in two weeks is actually quite impressive. I wonder if there's a noticeable increase of births in june

Wouldn't you expect a decrease in births when the condom sales are better?

I was at that, all Paulaner sponsored but not a Helles in sight, only Weissbier. Got the serious hump in the IFSC when I couldn't get a Maß of Helles. Feckin' €5.50 for a glass too.
Its a rip off nothing sweet just a purse empty and a bad head.
And that's different to the Munich Oktoberfest how?
My liver isn't too upset.
40 liters in 6 days...
Yeah... ugh.

Was expensive all right - the reason for no helles is that they are only pushing the Weissbier in the Dublin market
Actually there was Helles but it was only available at the weekends...and yeah it was expensive, but then again, what isn't in rip-off Dublin!
Must've been invisible Helles, I was there on a weekend, from early afternoon until 9ish and there was neither sight nor smell of it. So I ate a dirndl instead.
Hope it tasted nice!! Maybe it was only on Sunday. I was there on a Sunday afternoon (think the second one!) and was offered Helles or Weissbier from an outside stall.
