So apparently Lexus made a hoverboard.

I seen this from multiple companies. I believe its just magnetic with some and that if you take it off the magnetic platform it will not work.

In the case o this one I believe it was being held up by some clear string like fishing line and that is when when he stepped on it that end went down and it was immediately cut out.

The Back to the future hoverboard technology just does not exist yet, and if it does it is not public yet and is still being tested and worked on.

Everyone is worried about hoverboards, but I'm also concerned whether or not this is going to happen:

Well, I'm sold. I'd sell my car for one of those if they work; too bad they don't come with roofs

Pepsi perfect?, Pepsi is awful now, Awful tomorrow, Awful next year and awful in 20 years. But hey that is just my probably near accurate opinion.

Coca'Cola for the win.

The bottles though are pretty cool looking I must admit. But I am actually shocked you payed the close attention to the movie to remember a Pepsi lmao.

Lexus says the hoverboard uses liquid nitrogen cooled superconductors and permanent magnets to stay about an inch off the ground, meaning it will only work on a metal surface. It's a similar story to Hendo's board, announced last year.

So this is still not a real hover board just a magnet woopdie doo.

Sensationalism ftw!!!

They've been made before but they require a complete metal flooring for it to even lift, so this one seems interesting because it is hovering on wood. And I don't think they can advertise it using string if it uses magnetism, because then it would just be false advertising and they'd get sued up the ass.

I'd say most sodas are pretty bad. I don't like Coca Cola anymore, really. In Brazil it's really bad. Most soda manufacturers have picked cheaper ingredients to increase their profit margins. As a result, a lot of sodas are much crappier now. This is especially the case in the United States. Try a glass bottled coke (which is similar to how it was) and you'll see the difference.

I drink the glass bottled Mexican coke all of the time, its made with sugar cane. Coca'Cola in the can/plastic bottle have been High Fructose Corn Syrup since the late 80s.

Yep. In the United States, I love to purchase the glass bottle coke here. Sugar cane makes it much much better.

it's not actually wood (it doesn't look like wood but the same goes for pure concrete). Its a special surface with a thin concrete toplayer and a magnetic metal underlayer, which isn't visible.
