Vessyl – The calorie-counting cup of the future

It tracks your calorie intake, it syncs with your smart phone, it helps you make healthy decisions and it knows EXACTLY what you’re drinking, but why would anyone possibly want to buy an expensive, battery powered super cup?  

Well the Vessyl has been seven years in the making, and for good reason, this seemly simple appliance could really make an impact on your life. If you’re one of those health nuts or you just get excited about owning the latest futuristic gadgets, the Vessyl could be perfect for you.

Let’s have a look at the Vessyl’s revolutionary characteristics: 

Pour your beverage into the cup and be amazed, the Vessyl can identify anything; coffee, alcohol, fruit juice and even smoothies, not only that but it automatically calculates the sugar, calories and caffeine. This awesome cup is full of sensors and a motion sensor that activates the display on the side of the cup when you tilt it away from you as well as a battery life that can last up to seven days.  

Like all new, over-the-top products the Vessyl have some baffling features that are hard to understand:

First of all most people already know exactly what they’re drinking, why would you need to use a fancy cup to identify all your beverages when you can just read the label? The Vessyl also promises to keep track of how many calories you’re drinking and help you lose weight, but we don’t live on a liquid diet, what about all the calories we eat every day?

So just think about it, using a Vessyl may seem pointless, unless you always struggle to remember what you’re drinking, but then again it would be pretty cool to own a smart cup, this is the future people!
