WTF! Japanese firm builds a machine That makes you find out what your favorite song taste like

A company in Japan has designed a piece of tech that lets you taste songs you like.
It's called Squeeze Music which, far from being an audio retrospective of jools Holland's old band, analyses the emotional content of any track and turns it into liquid form. Imagine a jukebox/juice bar hybrid and you're almost there.
So, happy is signified by sweetness, excitement by sourness, sadness by bitterness and saltiness for sentimentality

Therefore, something like Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry (Be Happy) would taste like the kind of sugar rush that might give your dentist a coronary, while Dancing with Tears in My Eyes by Ultravox would be like sucking on a case of lemon.

And, while it's still only in the prototype stage, its makers - The Nomura Open Innovation Lab - are hoping it'll become a favourite at music festivals where punters can drink the songs as they watch them being played.

Turning them into alcoholic cocktails is also on the cards. If that happens, just don't pick any of Shane MacGowan and The Pogues' back catalogue. The consequences could be messy
