LOLI think you're right there... I saw a documentary on D'Aggio who own pretty much all popular alcohol (Smirnoff, Guinness, Magners erm... and others) and apparently the whole ice in magners thing comes from them, in an effort to make cider cool and drinkable for girls and kids. Guinness Extra Cold works on a similar premise, they seem to think that people didn't drink guinness or magners previously, because they had 'old man stigma'. Yuck.
