Tequila & Diamantes!

Isso já sabíamos. Mas agora há mais: a Tequila também pode servir para fabricar diamantes. Talvez em breve o Sir Humphrey venha a sonhar com chocolates cobertos de uma fina camada de diamantes feitos com Tequila. Ou, num futuro mais distante, com um colar de diamantes feitos de champanhe.

"A method of producing synthetic diamonds using tequila - Mexico's favourite alcoholic drink - has been discovered, scientists there say.... Although they cannot be used for jewellery, there are plenty of practical applications for them. They can be used as an alternative to silicone in computer chips or as ultra fine cutting instruments in medical procedures. One advantage of making diamond film from tequila is that it is extremely cheap. The scientists found that even the cheapest of tequila brands, averaging at $3 a bottle, are good enough to make diamonds."
