Gizmodo
You know companies are always trying to wine-and-dine tech reporters, but this has to be the weirdest example. Tonight I received a package containing this bottle and nothing else.
Clearly, the message on the label is the important thing: there's a Sony VAIO event in New York City next week that I should attend. But the label says nothing about the contents of the bottle. Nothing. Is it alcoholic or non? Is it real or is it a prop? What would the VAIO division of Sony Electronics be putting in a bottle? And, finally, should I drink it or pour it down the drain?
Comments
Maybe give it away?...
Open it, smell it, if you are still unsure find little annoying neighbor boy and tell him its juice
drink it! drink it! drink it!
Pants it!
drink!
I see this blowing up in Sony's face when they accidentally send this to a journalist who is younger than 21 and they get sued for supplying alcohol to minors.
it's probly just apple cider or something. I'd drink it. OR maybe some fanboy would pay a ton of money for it on eBay. lol
Use it as the prize for a contest. Maybe, the best photoshopped version of the picture wins the item in the picture.
Silly silly man! This is gizmodo!
SET IT ON FIRE!
And if that doesn't work you folks should still have that inflatable beer bong around somewhere.
It's (fake?) champagne... you can tell by the twisty tie holding the cork in under the foil that implies the content are under pressure...
It's the Vaio's 10th anniversary, according to akihabara.
yeah sell it on ebay for sure. even if its not wine or anything, people will pay big bucks for it. im sure itt'l sell fast.
it contains sony kool-aid. not as potent as apple kool-aid but still delicious.
U need a guinea pig for the first taste.
Chen!
@ceilingFANBOY: if by journalist you mean blogger... i dont know any real world journos
drink it or throw it down the drain?
why not just put it with the other lamer schwag you guys get and forget about it...
"It's (fake?) champagne... you can tell by the twisty tie holding the cork in under the foil that implies the content are under pressure..."
yea, I think that part was established... jesus.
or maybe it contains the blood of sheep slaughtered at a past sony event. i wouldn't put it past them...
actually that was a goat if my memory is correct...
does it have nothing about alcohol content on the bottle? if so, it's sparkling cider or something.
I hope for your sake its a bottle of Blane de Noir tho.
It's the VaioPhone. Don't expect long lines outside SonyStyle boutiques.
drink it, but take pictures and post them on gizmodo if you get wasted and do something stupid!
IF you drink it, you must only use Sony Vaio compatible champagne glasses.
It's probably straight poison for all of the iphone coverage
If I bend over a little can you vaio my butt?
Only one question matters here:
Will it blend?
It's Steve Jobs' blood.
Fucking PANTS THAT SHIT Vato! And I agree with JCraig: It's JESUS-BLOOD. Or a FAX of it.
Is there a champagne versin of the beer vomiting godzilla?
Sony Vaio! It'll get you drunk! You'll be f***in fat chicks in no time!
Jesus Juice!
if you open it, at least point it away from your eyes. i have a feeling its going to shoot blurays in yo fayce.
Maybe the party is BYOB and you are to bring the alcohol with you.
best guess- Cook's Champagne bottled in Madera, CA. The bell logo on the foil should give everything away, but I can't quite pin it down.
@rbf2000:
I bet I can guess what 99% of the photoshop entries will have the hand holding! XD
The woman of questionable morals will be coming up your hotel room tonight at 11:00 pm courtesy of Sony. You lucky dog!
probably filled with dog sperm since gizmodo has downplayed their hardware...
Forward the package back to Sony... How about Sony BMG music -- radical overly-oppressive technologies keeping innocents troubled (R.O.O.T.K.I.T.) department.
It's poison, you know it, we know it. If you don't drink it and come to the event it's a death trap. But it could be the best stuff out there if you choose not to drink it. Or the even is actually worthwhile if you decide not to go. You lose in every situation.
perhaps you should enjoy a DRaM.
I am voting for a combo of the suggestions here. Pour it down your pants.
Hm... I suggest test it on someone unsuspecting and if he doesn't die in the next 48 hours you should be pretty safe drinking the rest of the bottle with Gizmodo staff. Or yourself
ITS SONY GAY JUICE, IT SSKWIRTS ON YOUR COMPUTER AND MAKE IT GAY
VAI-O
my suggestions:
a) pour it on your keyboard with the hopes of being sucked into the internet.
b)pour it into your AIBO's water dish and hope for something wonderful to happen.
c)make otter pops out of it and sell them to the neighborhood kids. (drunkard dan might make a good otter pop name.)
I know what to do with it.
Drink it
If you get drunk, sue the pants off Sony.
No mention of alcohol content is illegal (at least in my state)
Of course I would have a hard time suing someone that sent me some free booze.
But then again fuck Sony they are evil bastards and all their electronics are over priced.
@Mless:
Well then he would be pulling a Micheal Jackson.
Guess they figured you guys drink enough Apple juice that Sony would send some of their own.
Rootkit.
I liked Crucifix99 comment about Apple Juice...
However, based on the available logo... what you are holding is a bottle of Muricata Champagne.
Two words.
Sony Enema.
dude.... keep it for 46 years.... then sell it...
Soylent Green....IS PEOPLE!!!
Spakling water is a common gift in those type of bottles.
Either that or they stopped my "Will It Blend" and really bottled a vaio laptop in the thing.
Be like Alice and drink it. I mean the worse that can happen is that you shrink, right?
It's the blood of PS3 engineers. Combined with the katra of the ones who developed that copy-protected CD bullshit.
Drink the stuff, the worst that could happen is that you come up with stupid ideas.
The best that could happen is that you could come up with enough awesome ideas to make up for the stupid ones.
Maybe Sony should drink some of their own wine.
It will only work with a proprietary bottle opener produced by Sony.
I bet you tried to drink it after suffering through the Halo xbox 360 announcement.
you know, it'd be nice if they used their documentation team.
my money's on leftover goat's blood.
