Arthur Dent Vindicated

Scientists have scientifically proven with science that a cuppa relieves stress. They did this by serving one group a cup of tea and another a cup of liquid that was almost, but not quite, totally unlike tea.

Expect sales of nutrimatic drink dispensers* to plummet.

*The Guide has this to say on the Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser:

When the 'Drink' button is pressed it makes an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism, and then sends tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centres of the subject's brain to see what is likely to be well received. However, no-one knows quite why it does this because it then invariably delivers a cupful of liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
