Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Science, as we know, involves lots of interesting glassware filled with bubbling fluids, condensing, percolating, spinning and being pushed through tubes. A pan across such equipment establishes that we're in a laboratory. When the pan ends with a scientist pouring the final product into a martini glass, adding an olive and drinking it, that's this trope. The drink doesn't have to be alcoholic. There is a magical version of this trope, replacing the scientist with a wizard or witch. The Technicolor Science becomes Technicolor Magic, but looks remarkably similar. In essence, extensive arcane equipment is used to make an unexpectedly mundane drink. Often a subtrope of Mundane Utility. |

Star Trek: Enterprise. Captain Archer gets caught out on a covert mission to a pre-warp drive civilisation this way. He watches a woman create a liquid from her equipment, and asks in a hushed voice what it is. She gives him a funny look as it's their version of tea. | |

In Back to the Future Part III, Doc Brown has this elaborate machine in his Old West blacksmith shop. Takes up most of the room it's in. When he activates it, the thing huffs and puffs and shakes and finally, after all this ostentatious display, spits out two ice cubes. Effective for the implied humor, but also fairly realistic as creating a refrigeration unit in that time with limited materials and technology would result in a large machine. | |
