It releases nitrogen when the bottle is opened to give it the same effect as
when it's pulled from a tap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_(beer) - Cindy -- CDC If you're going through hell, keep going - Winston Churchill "Time Traveler" > wrote in message ... > What is the purpose of the plastic widget that is put into the bottle? > |

That's funny, because I have a similar Guinness question to the one
asked by- Time Traveler wrote: > What is the purpose of the plastic widget that is put into the bottle? What is the purpose of the written explanation of the widget, the 800 toll free phone number and Guinness website address that is printed on every can or bottle of Guinness Draught? Could it be that people just don't read the label (it is printed sideways, so you might spill you beer in your lap if you've opened it, but there's no problem before opening or after emptying) or that they don't trust the brewer's explanation? Altho' why you'd drink something from a company you don't trust is beyond me. Certainly that seems to be the case with people who claim that ALL Guinness in the US comes from Canada (altho' the Draught kegs, bottles and cans are clearly marked "Brewed in Ireland") OR it all comes from Ireland (even tho' Guinness Extra Stout is, in East Coast US markets anyway, clearly labeled "Brewed in New Brunswick, Canada"). But the bigger question- Is it true that if you remove the widget and line it up just right with the "33" on the Rolling Rock bottle, you get key to the universe? |

<> But the bigger question- > Is it true that if you remove the widget and line it up just right with > the "33" on the Rolling Rock bottle, you get key to the universe? Yep, absolutely. But you ought to have known better than to divulge this in public. The Lords of Chaos will have your hide once you use the key. HAHAHAHAHA |

Hmmm...you know, I *thought* I heard the doorbell ring when I was napping on the couch (opened a bottle of Brooklyn Local One while I was making beef stew, and the weather [rain] and the beer just made it the perfect day for a mid-stew nap) but figured it must have been the Dr. Phil Show that was on TV at the time. Glad I didn't get up to answer the door... |
