A French conglomerate licences one of their many brand names to a English crisp company – quelle histoire !

French?! Guess again…..

I stand corrected – I could have sworn Diageo were French. Where on earth did I ever get that idea from?

Well, Pernod Ricard controls Paddy, Powers, Jameson and Midleton whiskies. So these things happen.

I want these and I do not care where they are made

Tex-Mex and stout? Even in snackable format, it’s an asspocalypse.

I little reminder here folks (sorry for the early morning history lesson) but the modern idea of Guinness being some kinda stalwart of the upkeep of all things culturally Irish is actually in reality a complete fallacy. The Guinness family were as British in their mind set and as Unionist as they come. How Guinness itself became such an Irish entity around the world, when in actual fact it stood for all things un-Irish, is beyond explanation. Remember you only got a job in the brewery if A) you were a Dub and B) you were an ex member of the British Military. Pretty much everything a Republican or Irish Freeman would have stood against and fought to expel and the best reason in the world for culchies to just add it to their list of reasons to hate heroin smoking, skanger knacker bleedin dubs. The irony is never lost on me. So anyway, no it wasn’t for this, it was for them :-)

+1 … The biggest Guinness brewery in the world was in west London for most of the 20th century:
So you’re a Macardles man then….. But then i do suppose that boggers do make for a better class of heroin smoking, skanger knacker bleedin culchies….

Nice to see how you pick out “facts” but then don’t give the whole fact. Ex British army, your nearly correct. Guinness gave jobs to IRISH men who fought in the war, yes for the British but only because or government would not get involved. These men fought for Ireland albeit in a British regiment. And our scum government then treated them like lepers when they returned home. Guinness literally stopped these men and their families from starvation by giving them jobs.
Quick! Someone inform the Daily Edge that an Irish thing has been combined with crisps and EVERYONE CAN’T COPE OMG CRISP SANDWICHES CLUB ORANGE DANIEL O DONNELL ON BBC JAYSUS LADS EPIC

and did you know that Guinness is not owned by an Irish company.
GET OVER IT!
Too soon.
He’s quick that lad.
Delicious crisps they are too. They’re vegan too if you’re into that kind of thing.
