Keyboard mixes drinks

Want to know what the word ‘badger’ tastes like? Obviously you do.

Well, trust those boozy Russians to come up with a way of doing it. One particularly industrious crackpot has created a machine that is capable of making such dreams a reality.

The person, called Morskoiboy, has linked a keyboard to a mess of clear tubes which lead to a series of flavoured syrups. A bottle of booze screws into the top, and away you go – type yourself a cocktail!

“One day I had this funny idea, and I thought, ‘Well, there’s really nothing stopping me...’,” says Morskoiboy. “My machine converts words into cocktails. And, yes, it does work. Now I can literally taste the flavor (sic) of my words.”

Now it’s been invented, it’s hard to know how we’ll continue without one.
