00:00 Scruffy Murphy's is offering something a little different in their pint of the black stuff.
00:07 Thanks to a fancy bit of kit, customers can have an image printed onto their foam topped beverage.
00:13 We actually got it delivered the day Klopp announced he was leaving.
00:20 So it was really popular that day.
00:23 So we downloaded a lot of the Liverpool logos and different Klopp pictures and every pint basically had Klopp on it.
00:31 If you've ever fancied yourself so much that you think your face should be on everything, take for example your pint.
00:41 Well, all you have to do is scan this QR code.
00:46 Let's start.
00:49 Now you don't actually have to use your own picture, your own selfie.
00:55 You can add something from your camera roll, maybe your dog, maybe your car, maybe your mum, whoever would like it.
01:02 And that gets added in here.
01:06 So I've just selected a screenshot of me because, well, data protection.
01:12 There's all these options as well for the filters to make it, I suppose, more defined, less defined, depending on how clearly you want to see yourself.
01:25 This looks nice and clear, this one logo.
01:28 So now that I've done that, all I have to do is show my number, which is very easy to remember right now, number one,
01:37 to a member of staff after your pint has been poured and you'll see the results.
01:45 The selfie in foam is made with a natural malt extract that's added to the top.
01:52 The visage is drinkable and undetectable to the palate.
01:56 The gimmick's made possible by Ripple's technology, which uses 3D printer mechanics with inkjet printing.
02:03 It was something we wanted to do anyway and thought, well, you know, it's nice to give to the customer if they want it free of charge.
02:10 So, yeah, and it's really took off a lot on social media as well.
02:15 And people have seen it on social media and come in, buying Guinness and they don't even drink it, just put a picture on it.
02:22 We asked if they've had any unusual requests since offering the service.
02:28 Basically bodily parts. We've had one of our first customers, he was with his wife and he said, can I send a picture?
02:37 Yeah, of course. But he'd filtered it, give her a big nose, a big chin, everything.
02:44 And we would have said it was hilarious. She found it funny as well.
02:48 You don't have to drink alcohol to enjoy this, but if you do, please drink responsibly.
02:54 Now, all that's left for me to do is enjoy a pint of my own face. Cheers!
