How did these even come about?! Of all the people to rep for Guinness, how did they decide on Lee Perry? I like the commercials and everything, it just seems like a really unusual choice.

considering they had caribbean day parade tri-color bottles last summer, i think they are pretty into that marklet.

Oh, I guess I obviously wasn't aware of Guinness' foreign markets. Apparently, Guinness is more popular in Nigeria than it is in the US.

yep, nigerians are into lee perry more than funky college bros.

nigerian people = black so must like dub reggae?

nonono I wasn't implying that at all!! After jinx mentioned that Guinness put out the Caribbean Day Parade tri-color bottles, I did some some quick research on Guinness' international markets, of which I was more or less totally unaware. I came across this site: http://www.diageo.com/en-row/ourbrands/ourglobalbrands/guinness/
which lists Nigeria as the third largest market for Guinness in the world. I thought that was interesting, and I mentioned it as a general comment on Guinness's international market, not as some dumbshit generalization about black people. That post wasn't a reference to Lee Perry at all.

weird, i was having beers this afternoon and a friend told me the second biggest Guinness brewery is in Nigeria. then i mentioned this Lee Perry noise anecdote which i read in the "newspaper".

also, supposedly, Nigerian Guinness is sickly sweet.

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Sunday, 30 April 2006 00:33 (twenty years ago)

according to answers.com, "Nigeria is the third largest and fastest-growing Guinness market in the world. However, as the cultivation of barley is restricted in Nigeria, the local version is made primarily from sorghum." Maybe the sorghum accounts for the sweetness?

molasses beer? sounds gross frankly.

but who am i to judge another culture

Nigerian Foreign Extra Stout is widely avaliable in London at competitive prices. It tastes very similar, but doesn't have the thickness to constitute a meal. Reccomend heating gently and adding a little conrnflour. To be served with a radish compote.

― electro-acoustic lycanthrope (orion), Monday, 1 May 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

that kid grows up to be a crack head I think.
a friend of mine has like 3 hours of that kind of "stream of consciousness lifestyle" stuff. he needs to give it up soon I think.

― Washable School Paste (sexyDancer), Monday, 1 May 2006 18:36 (twenty years ago)
