subject: Why Is There A Plastic Ball In My Can Of Guinness Beer? [print this page] Why Is There A Plastic Ball In My Can Of Guinness Beer?
It is now under the influence of Guinness beer that I ask the very philosophical question "why is there a plastic ball in my can of Guinness beer?". It was so funny, I was drinking my can of Guinness at home to celebrate Saint Patty's day when I heard something in the can and thought "I can not be that drunk after only a few" when I noticed there was something in the can. Well, I drank the whole can and checked to see what it was and discovered there was a plastic ball in my can of Guinness beer. I thought that maybe this was some sort of mistake at the brewery. As for the life of me. I had never seen anything of the sort in my life and I have been drinking beer in cans since I was my daughter's age (13) and I am 43 now and never had I even heard of anything like this; much less experienced it. Well, then got the idea that maybe there was some kind of lottery that the one who got the ball in the can got some prize which in times as these would hardly come unwelcome but then as I opened the next can; I saw that there was another ball in the can. This making me think that perhaps there was no mistake or lottery. As this was the way it was supposed to be and to confirm this I shook every can I had purchased to discover that the remaining 4 cans I had bought also had plastic balls inside. This making me think "why is there a plastic ball in my Guinness?". Of course, not that this matters all that much but it is just one of the questions which occupies our minds for an hour or two till we find the answer or drink the question away with more beer. It being the second option which I have chosen to follow though if any does know the answer to my question; may he or she please give me the answer in his or her comment.
I would also like to say "Happy Saint Patrick's day" to all those who read this article weather they be Irish or not and even if they do not know the answer to my question.
