Keeping It Awesome: Hackerspace Modifies Water Fountain

Look what MakerBot Operator Craig Berscheidt and others at Kansas City’s Hammerspace made: a water fountain that switches between regular cold water and Idiocracy-inspired Brawndo, The Thirst Mutilator!

 

Since Brawndo isn’t a real drink, “MIO energy drops were selected to provide Brawndo-esque flavor, but the flavor tank can hold whatever we choose.”

Apparently the first test subject chose to drink the flavored water over the regular water. Hmm, I wonder why…

 

That’s some really nice laser cutting/etching and vinyl work. Read about the whole project here.

    Brawndo was totally real, back in 2007.

    I still have a can of it in my fridge. :)

    Wired did a review: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2007/12/brawndo-mutilat/

    This made my day :)

    It has electrolytes!! A friend and I actually bought some online a few years back. My tongue might still be tainted green…
