Fancy tasting the weather on your toothpaste? I wouldn’t, only fresh mint flavor for me and definitely nothing sweet and tasty. Fortunately for those who enjoy different toothpaste flavors, the folks at MIT have recently created the toothpaste that changes its flavor according to the weather. That’s right, if you think that weighing machines that comes with Wi-Fi connectivity or gadgets that can send Twitter updates on your kid’s or pet’s behalf is cool, this toothpaste is cooler. It will connect to the internet to check for the weather forecast and once that’s done, it will mix different flavors together to form not only different tasting toothpaste, the color will even change.
If the weather is going to be warmer than yesterday, it’ll taste like cinnamon (cinnamon toothpaste?!) and if it’s going to be cooler, it’ll be minty. Blue stripe on the toothpaste indicates that it’s going to rain. Still, no thanks for me but this is not just about having toothpaste that can change its flavor, the project was done to show how a simple object can communicate simple and relevant information when given dynamic properties. Still, cinnamon doesn’t sound like a very pleasant toothpaste flavor if you ask me.
