Guinness added an extra leaf to its St. Patrick's Day shamrock ad. Oops.
Guinness seems to have forgotten what a shamrock looks like.

Unfortunately, Guinness did not include a shamrock in the ad. Instead, it used a four-leaf clover.

Fortunately, one brave man messaged Guinness to inform them of the error. He told Daily Edge that the company responded to apologize -- then removed the erroneous ad the next day.
Looks like the St. Paddy's spirit is alive and well.
