The most genius scam any company has ever pulled. Guinness designate a date for everyone to drink ridiculous amounts of their product and it's already being treated like a national holiday

Wouldn't happen in Great Britain innit...They would have a field day, a drinks company trying to do that. They would have their licence took off them.

The first year it was "celebrated"-(2 years ago),there was huge interest in it,last year there was only a fraction of that amount out to celebrate it,I'd say it'll disappear in a couple of years through lack of interest.

Guinness have always been brilliant at advertising from the days of the Toucan to the dancing man.My personal favourite was a billboard with the caption
                                          Sometimes we think the whole world is a Guinness.

Shocked They want me to help them raise a half a million now by going to a pub and logging into Facebook.

Hi

You and your mates, unbelievable music acts and celebrations in pubs & venues across the country... it's Arthur's Day 2011... and it's only two days away!

Wherever you celebrate, if you check in via Facebook Places to the pub you're in, we'll donate €5 to the Arthur Guinness Fund™. We need you to help us raise €500,000 so we can make a massive difference to people who need it most. So head out, check in and enjoy your night!
