New Weapon Against Champagne Blindness
Dramatic statistics reveal that champagne is a dangerous weapon.
Each year, 3,000 people in France are the victim of passive popping: injuries caused by champagne corks travelling at the speed of 13 meters per second. Opticians report multiple eye injuries, and some people have even become blind after a cork blew their eye out.
But fear no more and drink no less. A French inventor has developed the world’s first stop-bouchon. One part is screwed into the cork, the other attached to the bottle neck — and everybody is safe, because the cork can’t go anywhere.
“In ten years from now there will be a stop-bouchon in every house“, he claims.
