Question:

Why is there a ball in cans of guiness beer, what is is it made of?


Answers:
it's co2.......Guiness on tap is infused with co2 as it comes out of the tap. That's where it gets its creamy texture. The ball in the can trick is an attempt to get that straight from the tap taste and texture. If you've ever tried guiness from the old fasion bottle without the ball, you'd be very happy they invented that technology.

its a plastic ball that has co2 gas in it to give the beer a full head of foam

know as a widget is made of plastic, and becasue the can is pressurised by adding liquid nitrogen, which vaporises and expands in volume after the can is sealed, forcing gas and beer into the widget's hollow interior through a tiny hole. In addition some nitrogen dissolves in the beer which also contains dissolved carbon dioxide. it is put in in order to make the bubbles simmilar to draught beer and give it a creamy head
