Programmable Soda Bottle

One of my favorite Jeff Noon short stories is "Solace," about children addicted to a programmable soda that allows you to chose your flavor or combination of flavors by dialing the cap. Well, once again the future has caught up with the fiction. A company called Ipfini now offers a programmable soda bottle with the ability to program your soda with up to 32 different flavor combinations. The bottle is filled with corbonated high-fructose water and the bottle itself has buttons on the side for flavor, color, and aroma.

It's getting harder and harder to keep pace with reality...

Does this mean I can finally have soda with vanilla-lemon taste?

Okay, that's pretty hot. Between this and smart fasteners, I think we can pretty much call it The Future and go back to writing about unicorns and shit.
