Schrödinger's thermos

Schrödinger's thermos

This steel thermos was once owned by the renowned theoretical bartender Marvin Schrödinger, who illustrated the problems of quantum alcoholism by training his cat to knock random drink ingredients into a thermos while he wasn't looking. The result is a situation wherein you can't determine what you're about to drink until you've already drunk it, thus collapsing the probability waveform of the cocktail into a single discrete eigenstate.

Notes

• Consuming Schrödinger's thermos drinks a random drink. Consumption messages, stats, adventures, drunkness, and effects are given as though the booze was consumed normally.
• The drink selected is still subject to level restrictions. If you are too low of a level to drink it, the thermos will not be consumed. Similarly, if a N. O. Beer or Otorian Battle Scar is selected, you will receive the "consumption" message and keep the thermos.
• Drinks that cannot be obtained are:
  • Tiny plastic sword drinks: bodyslam, cherry bomb, dirty martini, grogtini, sangria del diablo, vesper
  • Drinks consumed upon purchase: Antarctic Ice Tea, Black and Tan and Red All Over, braincracker sweet, candycaine, cyder, fermented honey, gin, Gin and Herring, grimacider, Hi-Octane Peppermint Jet Fuel, hot choculate, hot toady, Infinitesimal IPA, Isotope Nog, Mutagin 'n' Tonic, Oil Nog, Petite Porter, Scrawny Stout
  • Drinks that no longer exist in the game: supermartini, untainted eggnog
  • steel margarita
• The random drink is added to your consumption history; Schrödinger's thermos is not.

References

• The premise of this item refers to Schrödinger's Cat, a hypothetical quantum physics problem with macroscopic results set inside a sealed box. At the end of the time period, the odds for the cat in the box to be alive or dead are exactly equal, and the cat is therefore simultaneously alive and dead. The state of the cat inside the box is only resolved when it is opened (the box, not the cat), just as you can't know what's in the thermos until you drink it.
