A Guiness ultrasonic surger
For the uninitiated, a gadget that enabled you to have a 'proper' pint of alec in your own home. You had to buy special cans of the black stuff (which obviously cost more than usual), pour one into a glass, place it on the machine then press the button. Ultrasonic pulses then separated the head from the rest and 3 minutes later you were left with a supposedly real pint of Guiness..

The head ended up being about 2 inches high and it tasted slightly off. It cost around 25 quid, I used it about three times.

I have one of these!
It is really crap, I don't think they even sell the special cans anymore.

The only thing it was any good for was turning normal pints of lager into a giant spitting volcano of fizz.

But even that was only any good if you were at someone elses house...

A bar near me uses one of these.
They don't have much cellar space (or bar space for that matter) so a dozen cans of flat Guinness in the fridge was a good compromise. It just means people can't buy halves.
Our resident Guinness nutter still drinks it, so it I would say can't be too bad, but he's a nutter in many other ways so maybe it is.

That sounds like the worst pub in the universe!
