OJ & Guinness?

I saw a guy drinking an OJ and Guinness at a bar on Sunday early afternoon. Is this a "common" drink? What would one even call this? I can't imagine it would taste very good! Any thoughts?

    Guinness and OJ in the same glass?? I had to double take your post for a minute. But after having done some research there is actually a name for this. its called WASP STING!! The following is from the guinness collectors club:

    "Guinness mixed with orange juice (preferably freshly-squeezed and chilled). So called because the colours of Guinness and orange juice are the same as a wasp's. Incidentally, black and yellow are danger signals in nature, and after tasting this drink we can understand why...."

      I'd call it a train-wreck.

        A google search reveals several mentions, incredibly. I will stick with your assessment.

          train wreck???... it sounds more like a crime against nature.

            Sounds disgusting.... but then i have seen someone (regularly) drink guiness with bloody mary mix, kind of like a red eye i guess...

              YECCH! --Purely my opinion, of course. I like Guinness and I like orange juice, but not at the same time.

          I've never had it, but I have had shandys made with Guiness and limeade (half of each), and they are excellent on a hot day.
