Very clever use of QR codes from the chaps at Guinness

A clever bit of advertising gimmickry from Guinness: these pint glasses bear QR codes than can’t be read when the glass is empty, nor when it is filled with amber-colored beers.

But when filled with black, murky Guinness, the revealed can finally be scanned: “it tweets about your pint, updates your facebook status, checks you in via 4 square, downloads coupons and promotions, invites your friends to join, and even launches exclusive Guiness content.”
