Ask and ye shall receive: when I put a call out for cool hardware start-ups, little did I know that we’d be barraged by some amazing stuff. Case-in-point: the LayerNation El Tirador, a unique drinks maker that automatically creates layered drinks using different liqueurs.
LayerNation is part of the Yes Delft! incubator and is currently being tested in Europe as a fast and easy way to make… → Read More
Friends, we are going to get to the bottom of this Four Loko mess the only way we know how: through journalism! Tomorrow at 10am Eastern/7am Pacific I will drink a full can of Four Loko and report on the results live and in living color. Why am I doing this? Because I support the sale of horrible malt liquor beverages? Because I believe that every producer of sickly green liquids deserves an even… → Read More
The Japanese have created something called Pepsi Mont Blanc, a version of Pepsi delicately scented with French chestnuts (??). Japan is a loose cannon when it comes to drink flavors and PepsiCo clearly lets them get away with murder. After enjoying the Pepsi Strong Shot, however, I’m curious to see what this Japan-only drink tastes like. → Read More
I’ve been led to believe that Club Mate (pronounced: ma-tay) is the drink in the international hacker community.

Novocaine is a relaxation drink made by Malava Beverages that offers a bit of relaxation in a can. Does it work? The first can I drank made me very mellow – my mouth was literally numb – but after four cans of the stuff I’m pretty much used to it. Does it work? Sure. It’s relaxing, doesn’t taste horribly bad, and apparently it goes well with vodka. If you see it in stores, feel free to take a… → Read More
Oh great. Only, like, forever and a day until Christmas. That’s when I’m gonna ask everyone I know for this R2D2 ice bucket and Han Solo ice cube tray set. I’d be a damn fool to ask for anything else. It seems to only be available in the UK at the moment and the fact that Amazon.com’s UK site calls Han Solo “Hans” makes me a little nervous, but you gotta take… → Read More
Just noticed this new blend today in my local convenience store. According to the company, it’s an “amazing mix of the finest espresso coffee, fresh milk and cream packed with the powerful blend of Original Rockstar.” To me, it tasted like cold coffee with milk and now my vision’s kind of blurry and everything’s moving in slow motion. Wheee! Rockstar Roasted… → Read More

It’s the simple pleasures of life that get me through the day. I happen to like hot tea–a lot. When I try to drink my hot tea in the car, it usually becomes lukewarm tea after a little while. Enter the 2007 model of the Chrysler Sebring. The cupholders in this vehicle heat your drinks for you. And with the flip of a switch, you can cool down your drinks, too. It’s an optional… → Read More
