Vessyl: An exciting new product

[slgrieb]

OK, this has to be the absolutely lamest thing I've ever seen marketed. This is a high-tech cup into which one may pour a beer or soda, or the beverage of their choice, and it will identify said beverage and report the contents. https://www.myvessyl.com/ Think of it. Now, you can know the contents of your drink of choice without the bother of reading the label on the container!

If I drank any of the crappy, mass produced beers that Miller and InBev produce, I might be a little interested to see if Vessyl could identify all the additives, but I just don't go there.

Wow, $99 preorder, I should get a set of 6 for the house...

I can program it to give me the maximum drunk with the min hangover

I am guessing if I needed something like this, I have a problem.

Then again, if I had that problem, I would not need this.

But, it will also tell you if you are adequately hydrated!

Will it alert you if the drink was suddenly roofied?

I'm not sure. I don't think I read that in their product info. Of course, these days, if someone felt the need to drug me to take advantage of me, I might be more flattered than outraged.

Viacom has had the video pulled from YouTube. Probably on colbertreport.com somewhere, and probably hulu.com. I'm way behind on my Daily Show and Colbert Report fixes.

That figures. Those videos never last long on there anymore.
