So to encourage Japanese people to actually spend 120 yen
(about $1.09) on a single can of soda, Coca-Cola today announced the
"Cmode 2" vending machine, which allows customers with cellular phones
to purchase drinks "cashlessly" one of three ways - two-dimensional
barcodes, infrared, and the FeliCa contactless IC system. Though
cashless "Cmode" vending machines have been in various places
throughout Japan since April of 2002, these are the first vending
machines to support contactless IC as a method of transfer.
With drink names like "Qoo," "SCORPION," and "Lovebody," who could
resist?

Update:: Reader Chris Vincent says,
Just thought I'd point out that most of the content on those sites
(including the Coke machine article) is verbatim from the
Anarchist's Cookbook, a legendary collaborative document that
can be found all over the internet. Everything from social
engineering to fun explosives to (obviously) Coke machine hacks can be
found there.
Another interesting bit of information, this time about Pepsi machines
(not from the cookbook, just something I found out about last week):
New Pepsi machines have a "code", a special sequence in which you
can push the buttons on the face of the machine, which causes the LED
screen to report the number of cans sold and the total cash value.
I'm not sure what that code is, and it may be configurable on a
per-machine basis. I'm sure somebody out there can shed more light on
it than me.

Vishal points us to a spectacularly
cheesy Indian TV ad starring yet another one of my
fut
ure husbands (look, any fella who eschews SMS for pigeon as
preferred love-note carrier is alright by me).
Vishal says, "This Ad is really popular in India, and I was surprised
to find that the good people at Coke have it online too (RealPlayer).
It features one of the hottest young actors in Bollywood, Vivek Oberoi, and features
many in-jokes to '70s Bollywood films (note, especially, the lightbulb
dress in the 3rd segment, a direct lift from a classic 70's movie)."
Footnote to menswear trendwatchers: take a tip from Vivek, at left --
pink vomit prints are the new black.
Update: BoingBoing reader Berklee totally
harshes my mellow by saying, "Excellent choice for a future husband,
but you'll have to wait until he's done with Aishwarya Rai, I'm afraid.
Meanwhile, I recommend [a 2002 film starring Oberoi titled] Company. Go rent it
(or download it) and enjoy this un-Bollywood-like gangster-movie!"

Mid-calorie sodas coming from Coke and
Pepsi
Mid-calorie sodas coming from Coke and
Pepsi
05/05/2004 04:10 AMCoke and Pepsi are debuting "mid-calorie" drinks that contain a mix of
high-fructose corn-syrup and Splenda. These are meant to sit between
the hyper-sugared normal stuff and the diet stuff with the funky
aftertaste.
The new drinks contain the standard high-fructose corn syrup that
sweetens regular soda but in smaller amounts. The corn syrup is
supplemented with Splenda, a no-calorie, no-carbohydrate sweetener
made from sugar.
The result is a soda with fewer calories than regular but more than
no-cal. For instance, Pepsi says a 12-ounce can of Edge has 20 grams
each of sugar and carbohydrates, and 70 calories, compared with
regular's 41 grams each of sugar and carbohydrates, and 150 calories.

Low-carb potato
Low-carb potato
06/07/2004 03:51 PMI've been on the Atkins diet for two months and my potato jones just
won't go away. That's why I was thrilled to read that a new "low-carb"
potato will be available come January. Developed by a seed company in
the Netherlands, it's not genetically modified either. The bummer
though is that this variety of spud is in reality just
lower
carb. According to potato expert Chad Hutchinson of the University of
Florida, 3.5 ounces of the new potato contains 13 grams of
carbohydrates, compared to 19 grams in a comparable chunk of Russet
Burbank potato.
Hutchinson said it is due in part to the lower specific
gravity, which relates to the amount of starch in the potato, compared
to the more widely recognized Russet Burbank baking potato. "The
smooth, buff-colored skin and light yellow flesh will make this potato
an attractive and tasty alternative in many traditional potato
recipes," he said.

"Surprisingly, not only did we observe rescue of flower abortion but
the kernels produced from pairs of flowers fused into a single
normal-sized kernel that contained two embryos and a smaller
endosperm," said Gallie. "Because it is the embryo that contains the
majority of protein and oil, the presence of two embryos doubles their
content in corn grain. The reduction in the size of the endosperm in
the kernel, the tissue that contains most of the carbohydrate, means
that the nutritional value of the grain has been improved
considerably."

same purpose in many menus. And canola oil has the same healthy fat
benefits as olive oil for less than half the price.
