Tanglefoot (Badger)

Tanglefoot
Name: Tanglefoot
Label: "Deceptively drinkable - Brewed for a crisp dry finish"
Brewery: Badger
ABV: 5.0%

Rating: The name is what happens when you drink lots of it apparently

Game: Today its more about a game not being played. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is out today and Sainsburys were selling it for £26. They had sold out by 8am - so their stock orderers are either complete fools or it was a genius idea to get people into Sainsburys stores. Asda were selling it for £32, again, sold out. Supermarkets obviously suck at judging demand and I refuse to pay £44.99 for it from Game, Gamestation or HMV when everyone else has been getting it for cheaps. Could these three stores not have varied their prices a little to add a bit of retail competition to proceedings? Or did they just price fix knowing the idiotic supermarkets would sell out in about two minutes? Who knows, and more importantly, who cares?
