Where is the vinegar?
1 of 8: You'll need to make your vinegar.
2 of 8: By turning wine bad.
3 of 8: Improper storage will do that for you.
4 of 8: Spending 400 years in a tin can does not do wine any good.
5 of 8: Take the wine from Ben Franklin's room and use it in the time capsule.
6 of 8: Then all you need to do is find the time capsule when it's time to open and get the wine from it.
7 of 8: It's on the second floor of the motel in Laverne's time.
8 of 8: Open the canister with the can opener and then flush the vinegar to Hoagie. Hoagie starts the game with a can opener in his inventory.
