What book was that in where they had a fizzy drink and you had to twist the cap in different ways to get the different drink flavours and people worked out you could do amazing twists like a combination lock and get it to produce a mixture of more than one flavour like AppleColaLime?

I've remembered it now, it was a book of short stories by Jeff Noon.
Fantastic book. Almost identical concept (although in the story the cap provides the flavours).

I'd have a drink called Rusky Roulette where one of the six capsules is filled with cyanide.

Interesting, literally destroying your consumer base. Well done, that's a great niche. Will we be seeing you on The Apprentice any time soon? :)

I was going well on The Dragons' Den, till two out of the three venture capitalists died whilst trying out the invention.

What are the chances, eh? ;)
