Everyday asked: I’ve just become aware of this gadget. The technology is said to create the creamy white head that draught Guinness is famous for, but the Rocket Widget contained in Guinness Draught bottles and cans already covers that, and is certainly more convenient. What am I missing?

You aren’t missing much. The proper way to tap a guiness involves a special tap (co2 and nitrogen mixing line) and a lot of time. A proper guiness sits for at LEAST five minutes after being tapped, for that famous rolling head to form.
Looks to me like all this thing does is knock the bubbles around a bit, and convince the convection in the head bubbles to get going, so it looks more like the TV commercial.

The surger contains a small amount of nitrogen that is released from a pressure sensitive valve once the container is opened. The nitrogen gas creates bubbles far smaller than CO2 and generates the thick foamy head. Still not a good as a nice hand pulled draft.
