    Yeah, the Guinness pint is now 14.9 fucking ounces in the US. Relatives of mine in Ireland confirmed that if they did that shit there, they’d have another rebellion.

      If I’m not mistaken, the guinness can is the same size as other US pint (16 oz) cans, but there is less beer volume because of the widget.

        The widget is so nice and crunchy though.

            Very helpful, thanks. I’m glad I upgraded to Windows Vista, because now I can use the widgets!!

          It’s a plastic ball with a tiny hole in it. When you open the beer, the compressed gas, nitrogen and co2, sprays out of that hole into the beer, making it creamy and frothy. Guinness isn’t meant to be carbonated like most beer, so it’s never “foamy”
