If there has ever been a way to contain awesomeness in a bottle, this would have to be it.

Okay this is how it works. You buy the bottle with carbonated sugar water, and it comes with buttons for additives — flavors, colors, fragrances. For flavors, you can mix up to 32 combinations. You can have up to 2 shots of caffeine, or none at all if you don’t like caffeine (But…why wouldn’t you like caffeine?). Also, there are 20 pigment additives, so they say there are a million color combinations.

It seems like a sure-hit product really. And yet being the person that I am, I must still present to you the pros and cons, which may help you decide whether to get this.

The pros: You will never have to stand in front of the vending machine for 10 minutes trying to decide which flavor you want. With this, you’ll be doing that away from the machine. Genius. Also you’ll finally experience blue, caffeine-free, vanilla-scented cherry soda. Aaah.

The cons: There’s always that risk that your friend will pull a funny and press everything. End result? A mix that looks oddly similar to (but is slightly more nutritious than) dirty toilet water.

Okay so I lied, they don’t help.

Edit: Hi. I just realized something. After you pick your choice of drink, how will you mix everything?

…exactly. Hahahaha.
