Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser

The Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser is one of many products made by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, from the fictional Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy series of novels by Douglas Adams. When a person asks for a drink, the dispenser probes the customer's taste sensors and pleasure receptors of the brain. Despite its sophisticated artificial intelligence, it always dispenses the same drink: a concoction that tastes almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
