Just one of the many items in our Guinness Store
Guinness has much to recommend it: it is a surprisingly refreshing summer beverage, it is relatively low in calories and alcohol (in spite of the myth that it is "a meal in a glass"), and if you drink it right it leaves a comical foam mustache on your upper lip that will impress the ladies. Seriously: big props from the ladies.
Guinness beer has one big drawback, however: you cannot use it to cover your feet.
Ordinary socks do an acceptable job of keeping your feet warm and preventing your soft, coddled skin from being torn into shreds by the substandard materials in your cheap shoes, but they are dull. Mundane. Uninteresting. Hardly a topic of conversation around the table on a slow winter's evening.
These Guinness Socks, possibly woven from radioactive materials banned in every civilized nation in the world; although you did not hear that from me.
Unlike some socks you may have seen in "the mall", these contain no natural fibers whatsoever. They also contain 5% spandex, which means that they are still comfortable when your ankles get all puffy because of the hot weather, not because you gained fifty pounds.
Finally, we have socks that not only cover your feet, but which also tell the world: "Hey, world! How are you doing? Have you noticed that I like Guinness and I am not afraid of exposing my feet to dangerous chemicals? Am I not the finest that mankind has to offer? Please, don't all answer at once!"
