Selling like beer

Upon using the phrase "selling like hotcakes" to describe an item that sells really fast, I realized that I dont know what a hotcake is, nor have I ever sold or bought one. So I decided that beer is the fastest selling item I could think of. So I am officially changing the old phrase "selling like hotcakes" to "selling like beer"

"My ebay items are selling like beer."
