Reply to comment by dmanlian in TIL that the labels on Angostura bitters bottles are intentionally annoying. The original brothers entered a competition and due to a miscommunication, wound up with wrong size labels. A friendly judge suggested the brothers make that label their signature. The advice stuck. by dmanlian

Even the small void deck 7-11s have them. Ofc, not the ones who are essentially newspaper stands. Or the standalone one in orchard road(didnt check.)
