Bill if you read the page you will read that it is definately CO2 AND
Nitrogen.

How it works
It simply works on pressure.
The new Floating Draught System
is designed in the shape of a ball
which floats inside the can and
can be heard moving around when
pouring.
Before the Floating Draught
System is placed inside the can, it
is filled with the recommended
nitrogen/CO2 mix for dispensing
GUINNESS on Draught.
When opened, the Floating
Draught System is set into motion.
This creates a gentle spinning
action which releases the gas. The
result - a great tasting pint of
GUINNESS that you have
experienced in a pub.
At this exact moment in time 4/23/00 9:13 PM, millerb@netusa1.net made
the profound statement:
>Definitely not CO2!!!!

>"The widget is a plastic molded device which sits in the bottom of each can
>of Guinness draught. When the can ins opened, a small amount of beer and
>nitrogen, trapped in the widget is forced out through the beer which creates
>the famous creamy head that you find on a pint of Guinness draught served in
>a pub. The widget gives Guinness draught in cans the taste and texture of a
>pub poured pint at home!"
