The findings may help scientists better understand how animals like us evolved to detect bitterness, among other u

If you only pretend to know what you're doing when you taste a newly opened bottle of wine in front of a date or a gaggle of friends, you aren't the only one. The server, accommodating as they may be, isn't actually concerned with what you think of the wine's flavor; they're giving you a chance to check whether the bottle is "corked," sour or spoiled.

Imagine slipping on a VR headset and finding yourself sitting in front of a gorgeous ice cream sundae. Using your motion controllers, you eat a large spoonful of this virtual vanilla ice cream—and while you can’t feel the coldness in your mouth, you can taste its familiar sweetness thanks to a remote tasting device on your lower teeth.

This is the silliest piece of content we’ve ever done and when I proposed it, my boss asked me “How can we relate this to our product? How will this get us leads?” And I said “Well the concept is compelling enough and we can just mention it in the beginning”. So please help me justify having done this by booking a demo (or deploying open source) if you’re in the market for a billing system.
