Soda Powered Phone… Seriously

Running out of power on your phone and no charger nearby? Well, so long as you can get to a vending machine or convenience store, not a problem.

Not sure how practical a sugar powered phone might be, BUT I do see a use for this as a charging station that multiple phones can connect to…
