If you’ve ever had the urge or desire to spray stuff into your mouth that isn’t fattening or cholesterol-filled, then you might want to give the Turbo Tango aerosol beverages a squeeze.

You might find yourself looking as happy as the guy in the ad above.

The company behind the Tango drinks, Britvic, revealed that they actually teamed up with 40 developers from all over the world to come up with the first ever aerosol fruit drink.

The drinks are actually targeted towards teenagers, who have apparently become bored with what’s available in the beverage industry today. At least, that’s what Britvic’s marketing director, Simon Stewart, said.

Lastly, probably more as a warning than an instruction, the labeling on each canister reads: “Hold upright and squirt in your mouth (and nowhere else).”

These Turbo Tangos are set to be released in the UK initially on August 19. The Turbo Tango is priced at £1.60 (~$2.50 USD) for each 375 mL of pure orange and fizzy goodness.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 6 years, you have probably seen all the videos of people shooting fountains of soda powered by Mentos mints. Now you can get your own kit to make your own spectacular messes called the EepyBird Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Geyser Kit. The kit gives you all you need but the soft drink to get your mess on.

The kit will cost you about $25 and comes with PVC nozzles, goggles, and even a package of Mentos. All you supply is the 2-liter drink and someone willing to look the other way as you make messes outside. The nozzles include an “X”, fan, and a couple small power nozzles. Of course, you could make all of this stuff yourself for a lot less money if you are so inclined.

Friendly Vending was Baggermans’ industrial design graduation project from the Eindhoven Univerisity of Technology. The machine features an electronically-controlled vending system that allows users to interact with their soda of choice by pointing at the drink they’re interested in consuming. Not only does the machine do a little dance with the cans to draw you in, but just whip out your Sylar-esque finger, point it at the can you want, and the machine opens up that door so you can grab your can. Check out some Friendly Vending in the video clip below:

Now we’re not sure how Guus plans on collecting money with this new system. Maybe it’s so friendly that the soda would be free. Or maybe with an RFID remote payment system as you approach the machine. We’re just hypothesizing on that part, but it sounds cool to us. Either way, it’s fun to watch dancing soda cans.

Designed by Daizi Zheng, the cellphone’s fuel cells generate electricity from sugar, which isn’t exactly groundbreaking tech, but it’s not widely used either.

In the end, Zheng’s concept is merely promoting an already existing – albeit relatively new – technology, and what better way to promote an environment-friendly battery than by putting it on a cellphone?

Hundreds of millions of cellphones have been sold, all of them equipped with batteries that are not easy to dispose of. If our phones used these “bio batteries” instead, then it would be a huge step towards a cleaner environment. But I do hope that the future environment-friendly cellphones will look much better than this. Much, much, much better. I mean the only way this thing would look cool is if it was a Coke-powered lightsaber.

The set includes sixteen cans of Final Fantasy XIII “elixir”  – which is some sort of Suntory lemon-flavored concoction with three-times the normal amount of caffeine and royal jelly. Mmm… royal jelly donuts. The boxed set also includes a commemorative metal chalice (I like to call it a Final Fantasy pimp cup). Only 30,000 of this set will ever be made, and each set comes with a serial number plate to prove you’ve got an official one.

While the individual cans can be found in Japan for about $2.50 to $4 (USD) each, the guys over at NCSX are now bringing the full 16-can limited-edition collectible into the U.S. for the whopping price of $165.90. That’s largely thanks to the cost of shipping this heavy mutha’ across the globe.

I’m just gonna order a 6-pack of Chocobos and call it a day – maybe a whole case.

The sodas come in a variety of flavors with geeky names like Eldritch Blast, Illithid Brain Juice, and  - of course – Potion of Healing. But my favorite flavor among has got to be the one that’s zoomed in in the above picture: Sneak Attack. Yes folks, you can drink a freakin’ sneak attack. And apparently it tastes like grapes. The perfect companion to Cheetos has arrived! Order a 6-pack for $11 (USD) or a 12-pack for $19 at Jones Soda’s website.

The soda “potions” are a tie-in for the PlayStation Portable’s Dissidia: Final Fantasy, which is schedule for release in Japan this month. There are two different flavors, with two different designs, for Light and Dark characters.

Unfortunately, Final Fantasy XI’s deliciously insulting Doctor Shantotto is the odd tarutaru out, and gets no potion. You can celebrate the rest of the characters, and relive the franchise’s long history with this ad, though.

For relaxing times… oh, you know the rest.

The miniature soda cans come in a metallic blue or chrome silver finish which does a great job simulating a shiny aluminum can. While the tiny cans don’t feature any drink logos on them, I’m sure you could print out a tiny label for your favorite beverage and tape it on if you want to show your allegiance to Coke or Pepsi.

They’re available in 1GB (appx. $13), 2GB (appx. $19) and 4GB capacities (appx. $37) from gadget importer DealExtreme.

The Koolatron Coin-Op Mini Fridge lets you chill up to ten cans of your favorite 12-oz. canned drinks (up to five cans each of two flavors). Then it requires deposit of money (Quarters only, though) before it dispensing a can. And it even comes with a dozen special tokens that you can keep for yourself, so you won’t have to pony up the dough for your own soda.

The Koolatron comes in both blue and silver versions and is available from Solutions (web only) for $149.99.

The MyFountain computerized beverage machine sits on top of your counter and can automatically crank out booze, mixed drinks, soft drinks, beer and wine with the press of a virtual button.

Just press the appropriate button on the LCD touchscreen, and you’ll have your favorite beverage in just seconds. Their Virtual Bartender software lets you create your own ingredient lists and set all the proportions for your own custom concoctions. If you don’t know what to make, there’s even an online drink recipe generator that’ll help you out.

A small refrigerator sits below your countertop and holds up to a dozen types of alcohol and mixers. There’s also lines for beer, wine, water and carbon-dioxide for cranking out fizzy drinks. When it’s done pouring your drink, it even automatically sanitizes the drink lines with hot water, so your Cosmopolitan doesn’t taste like a Negroni and vice versa. The system also offers password protection to keep those who shouldn’t be pouring drinks from going to town.

Manufacturer Digital Beverages is still wrapping up the final production version of the MyFountain, but expects to have them available for consumers, restaurants and bars by Spring 2008. Prices are expected to start just North of $2500 USD.

Brando’s USB Mini Fridge holds one and only one can of soda, beer or other drink in its tiny confines. The mini refrigerator even has a little blue LED light that turns on when you open the door.

Each fridge will set you back $33, or just under $200 for a six-pack.

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!
