Somebody invented an electric drink-stirring device and everybody made the same joke
According to estimates, just one famous coffee chain sells around four billion coffees each year, worldwide, which is almost enough caffeine to make Prime Minister’s Questions bearable. Even if half of those are stirred with a disposable stick, that’s a lot of plastic clogging the oceans or trees giving up their lives so you can stay awake through your afternoon meeting.
With that in mind, an engineer named Scott Amron set his mind to creating en eco-friendly alternative, and this is his innovative invention.
Mashable shared the clip of Scott’s “Stircle” on Twitter.
