Like the bastard child of Bloody Mary, it’s a new mix for the avid Guinness drinker who wants something more, and whilst the words Bloody and Guinness can never be muttered in the same sentence together, a small play on words was used to come up with the title.  And when the fad grows, the title will no doubt propel it in success.  The idea came to me when participating in the ultimate brain storm, down at Guinness Thursday’s at work, a small one to three hour period that takes part every Thursday.   It’s proved to be a valuable team building experience where many an idea has been born, and buried soon after, and much cod s*#t has been talked.

The worst thing an inventor could do would be “invent” something thats already been created, but a quick search of the most reliable source in the world, Google, returned nothing but an entry in the Guness Book of World Records to a clever Australian who set a record for drinking two full bottles (120ml) of Tabasco within 30 seconds.  A smart move, to be sure.

So, go out get a Bloody Genius, the delicious son of Mary, and enjoy.

I was at our local weatherspoons, the William Webb Ellis, the other night, and they had an interesting sign on the counter comparing their prices to local pubs. This was all very interesting as some of the prices weren’t just less than others, they were a half for even a third.

Now I don’t drink redbull and vodka, but a double smirnoff and redbull for £3 is awesome, especially the rice elsewhere was £7 or more, and i can remember paying at least $10AUD at clubs for a single back in Perth.

When does this type of advertising become slander though? In this age of law suits and rules about vendor verdicts, why can a store hang a sign stating how much better their prices are than competitors? But i guess it happens more than i first thought.
