In the beer cans?
The new fad in beer, is to make it extra something (bubbly, or smooth?) by putting a plastic ball in there.
I poured some Kronenberg this evening, and actually got a Stanley knife out to check what the fuck it looked like. What does it do?
New fad? Did you just emerge from under a rock? :)

Oh... wait, you're just a babby aren't you? First beer? Congrats! :D
*smirks*
I haven't been drinking for long (by your standards), so yeah maybe it is just me being a babby, eh?
I am sorry I made this thread, so you're post workedd just as you wanted.

Bless, he's tipsy. ;)
Never do a thread when drunk.
Its like making an ass hole out of yourself in the pub the night before.
Problem is on the net its still there next day. ;)
Shutup Psychotext,
And reask, I appreciate your wise words, I will heed them, but I'd only had a sip before posting this, so I wasn't definately wasn't tipsy or drunk. I just recognised it as a fashion, since it's only recently that they ahve gone in certain beers,a nd I've seen it advertised.
I'm 23 and I've never encountered such a thing. Possibly because I rarely drink lager outside of a pub or canned booze in general, but there you have it.

Doesn't love me any more.
In fairness to f_s and pud though... if you weren't around for the massive advertising barrage for beer widgets 10 or so years ago then it's not really that surprising that you wouldn't have noticed.
Edit - Annoying as hell, I'm trying to find the old Jack Dee adverts for John Smiths where he sings about a widget, but I can't find it anywhere. :(
Here's one of them, but it's not the one I was looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqG85tQmWTM
1994... Now I feel fucking old. :(
You should all drink Black Sheep ale like real men, not bloody alcohol-flavoured carbon bubbles.

I encourage all to drink WKD, innit.
"You should all drink Black Sheep ale like real men, not bloody alcohol-flavoured carbon bubbles."
Real ale is indeed full of win. Though my enjoyment of it made me fat. :(
I wasn't even in the country in 1994. So you can't blame me.
I do still love you Psychotext, don't be so sensitive. :P
Haha, English "beer".
"I wasn't even in the country in 1994. So you can't blame me."
Believe it or not, it wasn't just the UK that used them. I think the fact that you'd have been... what, 6 at the time might have something more to do with you not noticing the ads? :)
"Real ale is indeed full of win. Though my enjoyment of it made me fat."
That's not fat, it's *integrity*.
I think not being a country with access to TV is more to the point.
Where were you living? Sounds like an interesting story.
Fiji. And they have and had TV's on the mainland, it's not poverty stricken or anything, but I lived on an island north fo the mainland, which didn't.
"That's not fat, it's *integrity*"
I'm stealing that one
*yoink*
Widgets seem to have been around forever. I'm very surprised to find they only launched in 1997, I'd have thought 80s.
1997 was the new ball version. The old disc version has been around a lot longer.
OAP-fest.
Get off my lawn! Good for nothing kids.

Itz all abou teh popz, innit.

On the subject of consumer products... How sueworthy is it to find a blunt shard of glass in some Levi Roots Reggae Reggae sauce? Or a bean burger? Or some bread. And Some mango chutney and cheese. And Mayonaise.
I made a sandwich... And I don't know who to sue.
Well... some of those things you'd have probably noticed the glass in, which cuts it down.
But unless you can work out what, you don't really have much of a chance. Pick one at random, send it to them and get a bunch of free stuff. :)
