146: Distress call

Hello.


One of my (many) old, ugly and abandoned pages for which I bear responsibility is fizzkeeper.org, (“More information on fizzkeepers than you could possibly need or want”). It’s a rather old site now, and was hand cranked using vi over a decade ago. Owning the fizzmaster@fizzkeeper.org email address means I regularly get complaints from angry owners of broken fizzkeeping devices, and from desperate PR emails from companies wanting to promote their wares. The latter are usually more interesting. One this week came through from My Soda Saver, which is a... unique creation
“No lifting. No mess.”
