You pour cans and bottles into it just so you can pour them again?

Maybe that should be "Bad review"? I'll save everyone a boring read and post the end review.

"For $130, the Fizzics system will take up countertop space, drain a ton of batteries, and solve no problem whatsoever. In the process, it'll most likely do the opposite of what it promises to do—it will leave you with nothing more than a flat, aggressively-foamy beer and a mess to clean up."

I've been looking at it over the last few weeks and there does seem to be a lot of positive reviews for it also.

Company has had a bit of a mixed history financially wise.. declaring bankruptcy etc. So I'd say their future is a bit unclear.

Also curious if, outside of the visual of the pouring, you'd get similar from slapping a NitroSurge device on any old can.

Electric toothbrush would probably be the low tech version.

It'll probably make a huge mess on a normal (carbonated, not nitro) beer

Years ago I found my one of dad's old Guinness Draught syringes in a kitchen drawer, and thought it'd be cool to try it in a pint glass of Bulmers (which of course doesn't hold a head and doesn't look too fizzy, so I thought it would be OK)

It went everywhere and there was less than half a pint left when the tide went out 😯
