This story was covered By Joe Duffy on Liveline and most of the newspapers last week.

Anyway, I have just tried my first 470ml fixed widget can of Guinness and like many, I am not impressed.
Not only is the can smaller, the head is much flatter, not as creamy to drink and tastes totally different. No way is it the exact same as claimed by Diago.
What do others think ?
I normally stick a 24 slap in the garage as it works out substantially cheaper per can, when this slab is gone I will happily pay the 25% more per can for the 8 pack as it still has the floating widget.
