The USB Absinthe Spoon

We're not sure if this is an elaborate prank or the coolest advancement in drinking technology since lips, but either way, ladies and gentlemen, we present to you The Absinthe Spoon. Details are sketchy, including why you might need to plug your absinthe spoon into your computer, but apparently they're looking to give them away for free so people can test them out.

See below for the actual text on the site, which is cryptic as hell, and head on over there to peruse the comments that have been left - some of them are actually pretty damned funny. Our favorite was "How else could I wean my PC off the methadone?"

We found out about this thing over at The Real Absinthe Blog, and they pointed out it might just be a spoof to collect email addresses. Either way, and even without knowing what it actually does or if it works, we think it's a pretty sweet gizmo.

They Said We Couldn’t Do It
But we didn’t listen… We never do.

Finally, after months of work we’ve succeeded in building a prototype of world’s first USB Absinthe Spoon.

We’d like to share this formidable instrument with a few select testers, but we can’t hand these babies out to just anyone.

You’ll have to tell us why you deserve one of the first USB Absinthe Spoons
