It’s the smoothie with shockingly high levels of sugar. The beer with the stumble-inducing alcohol content. The ‘healthy’ water that’s worse for you than a pint of cream.
We might not always know what we’re pouring into our mouths. But Vessyl, an ordinary-seeming cup with extraordinary powers, certainly does. (Raise your glass to DJ.)
Using sensors built into its inner walls, Vessyl automatically analyses the molecules of whatever liquid you pour in. It works with all sorts of drinks – from coffee to juice, wine to water – and instantly displays a breakdown of things like calories, sugar, protein, and caffeine.

Clik here to view.
It also tracks how hydrated you are, by linking to an app and calculating exactly what you’ve drunk over the course of 24 hours.
Admittedly, it does mean you have to use the same cup throughout the day (washing up, anyone?). But it opens up all sorts of possibilities for super-clever, smart technology in the future. See it in all its glory here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu4ukHmXKFU
