Asahi’s Beer Pouring Robots
01.26.06 @ 1:55 am
Here’s a match made in heaven: beer and robots. For most of the world, it’s a match we are left to simply dream of (you know, slave bots bringing you a cold one, instead of the usual “Get it yourself!”) If you live in Japan however, you should know that Asahi is running a promotion where they’ll be giving away 5,000 fully stocked refrigerator robots. What do these lovely creatures do?
Well, aside from stocking and cooling up to six cans of beer and two mugs, upon the press of a button, the machine will open up a can, and pour it into the mug with a perfect head every time.
To win one, contestants must collect 36 seals found on specially marked Asahi beers. Of course, you don’t have to drink the beer… but then you’d probably be missing the point.

I'm thinking the "Will Robinson" type robot. Metal, boxy, not hot.

ok - so then we've got a robot for our house, and cute bartender girls when we go out.
i don't see the problem here.
unless some guys have cute bartender girls working out of their homes - at which point i've been missing out.
