Fox News reports that Budweiser has unveiled a beer glass that connects to Facebook. All you have to do is get a special cup with a chip in it, called the “Buddy Cup” and then whenever you clink cups with anyone else in the bar, they become your Facebook Friends!
And the entire friendship via Buddy Cup gets recorded on your Facebook Timeline, if we’re understanding the video correctly! You can watch the video explanation here.
Yes, so next time you get drunk in a bar, you can give out all of your personal information to that stranger you will regret talking to the next morning. And all of your friends, grade-school paper-route co-workers, and current co-workers can find out just how many new friends you made last night, when you should have been working on the month-end report!
3 Questions You May Have For Buddy Cup
1. “If you’re so into technology, why didn’t you partner up with Google glasses first to prevent Beer-Goggle-induced friendships?”
2. Does Buddy Cup also have a chip to cut you off? Especially when you start slurring things like, “Hey, Buddy Cup, you’re my only really friend, right. You’re an alright Guy, Buddy Cup. Don’t let anyone ever tell you different. Even a blog that thinks you’re a really bad marketing idea!”
3. “Why do I have 200 new Facebook Friends? What the hell happened last night? (shaking fist at air) Buddy Cup!”
