Ipifini Choice-Enabled Soda Bottle In the future, you’ll be able to customize more and more products to your own liking, and why should beverages be any different?

This new technology from Ipifini, called “Choice-Enabled Packaging,” provides bottles of soda with multiple flavor “buttons,” which can be pressed to create your own customized soft drink flavors.

A programmable bottle with four flavors and a caffeine button can produce up to 32 unique concoctions. A six-button prototype has been produced which can create 64 combinations. Bring on those cherry lime vanilla sodas!

Why do people insist on correcting others’ spelling and grammar? You didn’t capitalize at all, I guess you’re an idiot too. I hate grammar nazis.

Anyways! Awesome idea. I wish you could put only certain amounts of flavor in rather than the entire button’s worth, though.

The idea was introduced in Jeff Noon’s short story “Solace”. Read it and be scared.

The guy who said “your old news” could have meant one of two things.

I thought he meant that it was the OTHER person’s old news, and therefore said YOUR, because it was only old news for him.

So next time you feel like being a dumbass and trying to correct someone’s grammar who probably doesn’t give a shit… don’t.

Oh Man, this is such a great idea. I hope they add new flavors as the product grows.

I really hope for a “blue” flavor
