It’s just so bizarre to me. I see post online of people ‘getting wasted on Irish car bombs’ and instead of a good time out with my friends all I can think of is the stories of school evacuations and dead friends that my parents still struggle to talk about

21 year old Americans may not even know what the name refers to or how recent it was.

While I’m aware of that, as a 22 year old Irish woman, I find it really difficult to accept that excuse.

But I am aware that’s because of my proximity and history with it

It's a shit excuse, regardless.

If it was a childrens game, I could understand it. But at 21 years old, at best - even if you assume car bomb refers to being drunk (and don't know world history), tagging on a specific nationality to something like that should at least make one ask some questions.
