A random break from electronic stuff. The very complex and ingenious gadget found in some drink cartons.
Here's the manufacturer's official video with a good animation of the operation:-

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

….I love serendipity! I recently bought some off-brand protein shakes to try out and they use this exact same mechanism 😁
This is EXACTLY why I subscribe to this channel ❗❗❗👉💎👈
This video satisfied a curiosity I've had for ages so thank you very much. I drink out of one of these cartons every workday and I've looked down the spout many a time and wondered.
thought it said Soviet
Very clever design, but I wonder if it or similar was made for the V8 vegetable juice drink that goes into the Tetrapak design? As for that mug I'd really love to have it! Anyway, I love these interesting videos, Clive – thank you so much for it!
Most people haven't got a clue how things work or indeed how clever and complex many everyday items are. As an engineer, I pride myself in understanding how most things work but I must admit this mechanism came as a complete surprise to me. Well done to Clive for investigating this and bringing it to our attention.
TIL Coop (or as we pronounced it, Co-Op)is still a thing outside Germany. I remember seeing it in Switzerland like 20 years ago…. but that's interesting.
YouTube is for learning, not necessarily for cutting open drink boxes.
In response to Traumas' reply, the serrated toothed ring is a barrier holding back the last of the drink.
Looks like a Tetra Pak ( Patented ). I never thought of cutting one open to discover what wizardry makes them work. Always had to carefully shake the last of the drink out.
In spite of not cutting one open, we all now know how it works. And that really is what YouTube is for.
It is another useless invention to solve a problem that never existed, therefore creating one.
And the container is made out of paper, plastic and metal. Let’s see you recycle that.
A Well Put Together Video All The Best To You.
If We can get a kickstarter on that mug I’d buy the first case full 😂🤘
I feel like someone lost their mind making this, but it's for the good of humanity
