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?

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago

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.

American here, if y’all need help bringing those responsible for that abomination to justice just holler, shit is fucked up

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

Sort your own shit out first mate, fucksake lol

[–] ChillNigz@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago

Loved this, but unfortunately Guinness have discontinued it 😔

How is that different from a coffee stout?

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago

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 😂.

I have a fourpack in my fridge. These are so god damned good, they dont have any right to be but are absolutely amazing how good this is

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tastes so good. Guess we are just very different people. This is an amazing drink. Ill gladly accept your share of these to prevent your horror of ever encountering these again!

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago

Haha that's a deal
