Esplicito

What if you could print the ingredients of an entire drink onto the inside of a cup — and all you had to do was add water? Chris Kanik did exactly that.

In this episode, Oliver and Brayden sit down with the inventor of Smart Cups, the world’s first printed beverage technology, to talk about how a lifelong comedian built one of the most sustainable innovations in the world. From stand-up stages to science labs, Chris shares how his obsession with ideas, humor, and impact led to a technology that could reshape not just the beverage industry — but global access to nutrition.

They dive into his wild origin story, the science behind the cup, his passion for comedy, and why being underestimated might be the ultimate superpower.
