paging Dr. Feelgood, Dr. Feelgood to the rec room














Ever been to a party and set your glass down for a minute only to later realize that you can't distinguish between a sea of similar drinks? Did you set yours down on the coffee table or is that yours over on the bookshelf?

Sure, it's happened to all of us. That's why things like wine charms are handy. But what about for your canned beverages? What if you had something that could, oh, say, belch at you to let you know which beer is yours?

Meet the Beer Pager.

If you're willing to carry around a little fob to activate the beer pager (and spend 20 bucks) then you can locate your beer by clicking the button and listening for the belch. Yes, the belch. No simple beeps or whistles for you. If you're gonna drink beer you're gonna have some belching to go with it.

Now, if the 4 AA batteries happen to die, you could always just look for the drink encased in the holder with the really revolting graphic of a man so fat his belly is in a wheelbarrow. That, I guess, is the backup feature.


Some, I suppose, would find the beer pager amusing. I think it's existence is somewhat amusing but I think that they chose to photograph it for marketing purposes using what is quite obviously a can of Coka-Cola.
