  • No more peeking into the small dark hole of a dark bottle to see how much is left....Bailey's Irish Cream has the high-tech answer.  Here's what we know:
  • An online tool has been developed by Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur to calculate the bottle's remaining amount
  • No need to shake it, guess the weight, or peer into it ...just blow on the top
  • Called "Sound Scales" - here's how the digital app works:
  1. Blow on top of the bottle and record on your phone
  2. Tell Bailey's the size of bottle and send recording of blowing on bottle
  3. Bailey's will calculate approximate volume remaining for you
  • Sound Scales can be used for other drinks in 700 ml or one-liter containers
  • The science behind this is similar to how pan pipes work
  • Deeper note indicates more air inside the bottle; thus the bottle is more empty
  • The more air in the bottle the slower the air makes it move
  • Upshot:  Either an age-old problem has been solved or untold numbers of tipsy people will be blowing aimlessly on the necks of their bottles
  • New tech that could change your life!.
