That’s, what, 7% less…

    Bottles of Guinness used to have a little plastic “widget” with a nitrogen charge in them. When you opened the bottle the drop in pressure would cause the nitrogen to release and foam up the beer. But the size of the widget meant they could only get 11.2 oz of cold, refreshing stout in the bottle.

    Then they removed the widget. I’m not sure if they did anything special to replace the foaming head, but they sure didn’t replace the widget with 0.8 oz of beer.

      Their brewery was a fun tour, the brew master was fantastic. Pretty good burger too.

      Now it’s bought up by a large conglomerate so while the organic is still nice, there are much better local options available.

    Motherfuckers moving digits around hoping nobody will notice.

    440 -> 400? Nah, too obvious.

    440 -> 404? Greasy, let’s do that!

      That’s one of the skudgiest size reductions I have ever seen. It’s also not organic. I would pick something else if anyone did that to me.

    What is 440ml to begin with? A propper beer in a can is 500ml, a propper beer in a bottle is 330ml or 500ml. Everything else is a scam.

    I’m still furious about my tea box. Purchased 1 month apart and it went from 25 bags/box to 20 bags/box with the price increases about 16-18% (based on my head math, can’t bother to calculate the exact amount)
