I wonder what's going to happen if you stuff all the dry beer ingredients in your mouth? Would you turn into a foam spitting monster, a rabid-looking human? Read along, and you'll know what I'm talking about:

Tomas Saraceno's Solar Bell Floating Sculpture Takes Flight

Packets of Instant Beer Are Now a Thing
