For nearly 75 years, beer was banned in which country until the prohibition was lifted in 1989?

Norway
Poland
Denmark
Iceland

Fact: If you wanted to drink beer in Iceland between 1915 and 1989, you’d have to break the law to do so. The alcoholic beverage was banned in the small Nordic country for nearly 75 years. The ban followed a 1908 referendum that received 60% of the vote, indicating most of the country was initially in favor of prohibition. While most alcoholic beverages were gradually legalized over the following decades, beer remained outlawed. The beer ban ended on March 1, 1989, a date that has been celebrated as Bjórdagur (“Beer Day”) ever since.

Fact: RC Cola (Royal Crown Cola) made history in 1960 when it became the first soft drink to be commercially sold in an aluminum can. This innovation marked a significant shift in beverage packaging, as aluminum cans were lighter, more resistant to breakage, and easier to transport than traditional glass bottles. The move helped pave the way for widespread adoption of canned beverages across the soft drink industry, eventually becoming the dominant packaging format worldwide, especially in supermarkets, vending machines, and large-scale distribution networks.
