Skittles Now Banned in Euorpe (Mashed, 2020)

You've heard American Skittles candy is now banned in Europe.  The surprising reason Skittles are banned in other countries..  via Mashed November 10, 2021

Of course the European's are more anal about chemicals in food.  Good for them.  That isn't why they've banned these dyes.  They're doing it to be dicks.  And all this goes back to Heineken's aquistition of Newcastle and the subsequent ban on brown dye.  This is a trade cock fight, nothing more.



Tit for Tat over DYES. US vs. EU

 

Why did Heineken decide to "reimagine" the American Newcastle.

Tit for Tat.



The real reason is because of a regulator war between the US and Europe.

No longer in Europe due to dye 4, 5

Beer Advocate Rating of New-Coke Brown Ale

 Here's a screenshot Beer Advocate Rating for New-Coke Brown Ale...

 

Beer Advocate Rating for New-Coke Brown Ale...


If you drill down into the reviewer comments on that page, you realize that 77 isn't a measure of happiness.

What the reviewers are doing is reviewing a beer in a brown bottle poured into a glass.  That is an average beer.  But looking at the comments?  Are they pleased?

Was New Coke a terrible tasting cola?   If it came with a blue label and was called "Shark Cola" maybe it was an average cola.  But replacing a hundred year old recipe with something else makes it taste like shit!

First New-Coke Brown

 You have to laugh when people taste New-Coke Brown Ale for the first time.  Hahaha


Haha, Look at all the hate comments

 From Beverage Dynamics

Lagunitas Nows Brews Newcastle Brown Ale - How's it Taste?


Kyle Swartz is highly diplomatic in his treatment of New-Coke Brown Ale.  He takes the tour and they're all smoking weed and listening to bullshit music in a bullshit brewery that hates the working man.

Look at all the comments though.  Ordinary people hate this shit.  #1 Imported Beer?

Betrayal on Tyne

Anger Mounts at Newcastle Brown Ale decision by the Evening Chronicle


One North East chief executive, Alan Clarke, said: “Newcastle Brown Ale is an iconic brand for North East England and enjoyed all over the world – statistics show it is the leading imported ale into the USA. The prospect of it being brewed elsewhere is extremely disappointing.”

 In the end, it didn't matter.  The oligopoly that bought Newcastle sold the American rights off to some shit brewery in Chicagoland.  How many people are buying that?  Hahahahaha fuck ya'll

Bastard Beer

 Bastard beer brewed by bastards.

Unfortunately, after several months of New Coke, people begrudgingly accepted "Coca-Cola Classic" with it's changed recipe full of fructose, just to have a little of the real thing back.

They don't teach marketing in college anymore?


What we have to look forward to

 I have had the Whine-eken version of Newkie Brown.  Looks like they've done what all big companies do.

Take a smaller company, strip it of everything good, run it into the ground, retire in Portugal.

Why Coca-Cola's New Coke Flopped

Great article by history.com on "Why Coca-Cola's New Coke Flopped".

I think it's probably because people don't like getting kicked in the junk.

 



Lagunitas is a Bullshit Brewery

 Excuse me, but does this look like Newkie Freaking Brown?



Doesn't taste like it either.  Tastes like a bottle of bullshit to me.




Bring Back My Fucking Beer

 

Bring it the fuck back

Once a upon a time there was a beautiful beer...

We love the real Newcastle Brown Ale back in America.

The Real Thing

 

Not the bullshit below. 



 

I'm going to write ugly opinion pieces every week forever!  

At least until the real thing returns to the USA
