There are lots of things that can be put down to personal taste, however I can’t let this abomination go.

I am referring to Branston Smooth.

I love Branston Pickle, but I can’t get on board with Branston paste. Is there a better example where a manufacturer made an updated version of a food that was objectively worse?

      Someone at the Guinness Storehouse needs to get sacked and exiled from the island.

      Ah, that reminded me of another bizarre Guinness product I saw when I was travelling to the States.

      Guinness Lager

      Why would you have Guinness American Lager?

        They did do a really nice lager some years ago. It was a limited edition but rather good. Wish they’d bring that back instead of this crap.

        We talking about the same thing? Thin, watery, an insult to Guinness, an insult to coffee.

        This is like when Kraft bought Cadbury’s and started to do mash ups nobody wanted.

          Aha, that explains why every possible item of food has a new “Oreo” flavoured version.

        It’s Guinness branded.

        Maybe they thought that was enough. It’s proper disgusting though. Not sure what they were on when they dreamt that up 😂.
