  1. This is a win lose situation. On the down side, you have to drink Heineken. On the up side at least it’s only a little bit of a Heineken.

  2. Always look at price per L (or kg in other items). Small print on bottom of all price tags in shelf. You’d be amazed the difference you’ll spot. Wafer thin ham is an absolute scut for this

  3. lol @ 250ml. reminds me of those little grenade-sized bottles when we were kids. Stubbies, we called them.

    But it could have been worse. Went to a mates house for his b’day a couple of years ago, and he had a fridge full of heineken zero. He didn’t notice until we did.

  4. As a Portuguese living in Ireland, seeing Irish people who have such a huge selection of amazing beers, buying Heineken, blows my mind.

  5. “More compact, cold till the last drop”

    Someone in the marketing department got a Christmas bonus anyway.

    Love how the “diet” food in supermarkets sell 50% less product for the same price and plaster “50% less calories, fat free, vegan friendly” when it’s just expensive fried carrot peels. “Lads I have a proposal, why are we selling carrots for €0.20 when we can turn them into carrot chips and sell them for €5 and make x25 more profit” – Guy from the marketing department.

  6. Someone who lives in Netherlands 250ml size is not actually that bad, beer doesn’t warm up when you drink it , down side you need to open new one faster and it is Heineken. Taps in NL are usually served also as same size if you do not specify. Depending of beer.

  7. Fecks sake like. 330ml is the right size for a bottle.

    The worst part of this, apart from the gouging, is that a modest 3 pints leaves you with 6 bottles that you have to recycle. You feel like a booze hound having to heave a pile of heavy bottles around.
