MOTIVATION
Often, we hear children getting sick from consuming expired drinks. This can be due to the fact that children are not fully aware of the early signs of expired drinks. Although this could be more prevalent in children, adults come across such problems as well. As a result of food poisoning, they experience a variety of problems such as stomach cramp, fever, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. In the case of juice, except the expiring date, taste and smell, there is no other way to discriminate a spoiled one. Also, people have problem with milk. In order to find out if the milk is gone bad, boiling is an option which takes time and consumes energy. Finally, some people do not trust the expiration date and throw out the drink which is a wasting of food.

OBJECTIVE
With new advancements in technology, a device should be developed in order to detect expired drinks and display the results fast. With this, not only a multitude of problems associated with drinking expired beverages can be avoided, but also it can prevent discarding of the drinks that were presumed to be expired.
