Officials in Taipei have ordered the makers Taiwan Beer to reexamine their quality control measures after the most
recent in what seems to be a string of complaints. A Banqiao man recently found an aluminum wrapper and a rusty staple
in one of his unopened bottles of Taiwan Beer. New Party Taipei City Councilor Li Ching-yuan recently told the Taipei Times that this is not
the first time the popular brew has raised such complaints. Li cited several other instances in which bottle caps,
cigarette butts, insects both live and dead, and, get this, a "condom-like" object have been found in bottles
of Taiwan Beer. A directory at Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation, the brewery that produced roughly 280 million
bottles of Taiwan Beer a year, apologized for the most recent incident and said that the factory would work on
improving quality control.Taiwan Beer ordered to clean up

I remember the endless Taiwan beer advertisements when I was visiting relatives in Taiwan. They had some gruff manly-man Taiwanese dude saying "Drink Taiwan Beer, for that real Taiwan flavor!" in Taiwanese.
I guess they really meant it. :oP The polution and litter in Taiwan can get pretty bad, especially around the river banks, where there are floating masses of trash that stink in the humid summers.
