Frozen beer foam

Weekend is upon us, and for most of you this means getting a beer after work, getting one extra for the other leg and possibly a lot of rejections from other patrons, due to the amounts of saliva that you've just formed in your mouth after the 6th beer in half an hour. You will probably wake up saturday and think "what the hell did I do last night?", then log on to facebook and relive the moments. If you think this will never apply to you, open this blog tomorrow and read this: "I told you so!".
If it still doesn't apply, fool's on me.

But I digress, let's take a look at that ice cold beer you're going to enjoy tonight:
Imagine the cool beer standing there in front of you. The foam is just about the right size, the temperature is chilling, without being too cold. You grab the beer, take a sip, talk to your friends.. and then everything goes wrong; the beer is tepid and the foam is all gone. The rest of the beer is just not that interesting.

Kirin, the japanese beer brewery, heard that their customers had the exact same problem as us, so they made a machine that freezes beer in its foamy form and then added it to the chilled beer, like softice into a cone. The result was consistent foam and chilled beer for a longer time without having to dillute the beer with ice cubes.

Genius in its purest form. A big pint raised to you Kirin, from beer-lovers around the world!

Pizza Panic Button

So, it is sunday! Sunday indeed!
It is notoriously known for being the day of  hangovers and regrets, such as; "Why did I drink this many tequilas?", "Why did I follow that guy home?" or "White russians? What was I thinking of? I'm lactose intolerant!".
Sundays are perhaps one of the best days for you to burn off a little extra cash and let the local pizza place do the cooking. But how to order a pizza, when you can't concentrate on a simple task for more than few seconds and you just want pizza without the complications of ordering the damn thing?



Red Tomato Pizza has the solution!
Dubai-based Red Tomato Pizza has developed a bluetooth-enabled refrigerator magnet, which enables the customer to order their favourite pizza by the press of a simple button!
By connecting to the customer's smartphone via bluetooth, the button ensures that your favourite order is issued through the internet and a few moments later you get a confirmation text message, that tells you when your pizza is delivered, which pizza you ordered and all other relevant details.

Question Time:
Would you have one on your fridge?


Probably a good idea to leave it out of children's reach though. Noone can eat 152,321 pizzas at once.
