[flerdle] Drink orange juice, it's more interesting! :)

[flerdle]Or tomato juice. Put some Worcestershire sauce into it, and there you go! [ZK]I grew up in Canada and it's popular there too - especially amongst those who may possibly have had an Irish ancestor at some point, or knew someone who once drank a Guinness. The green beer and popcorn the loony lady across the street used to offer everyone, however, still gives me shivers.

[Breadmaster] Please cease from making your "vile Americanisation" comments. This is not the appropriate forum for them.

[snorgle] Lol. I suspect it really is just such a big deal over here because people want to drink a lot, and Guinness want them to. It's win-win apart from the poor sods who run the police stations and hospitals.

[rab] No offence intended - it's only the Americanism I deplore, of course, not Americans.
