Just opened a Guinness Draught a friend left in my frige from last Sunday. When I got to the bottom, there was a little plastic thing in it, sort of looks like magnetic stirrer used by chemists. What the hell is that about???

Thanks if you know AND respond!

The "widget" is actually a plastic device which sits at the bottom of the can. When the can is opened, the widget releases a mixture of beer and nitrogen that creates a surge of bubbles. When you pour it into a glass these bubbles eventually settle to form the famous tight white head creating the perfect pint experience from the pub right at home.

i pulled it off their website for ya!
cheers!

Kevin, Hopjack13, consider yourselves warned....you have just been added to the "Mans" list. Notice the strange buzzing noise on your phone, the dark automobile parked near your house? Coincidence? I think not!

I heard they switched from cars to black helicopters that run in "whisper" mode, but if you wear a tinfoil hat you can block out the signals that they use to track your drinking habits.
