"A short while before this, Arthur Dent had set out from his cabin in
search of a cup of tea. It was not a quest he embarked upon with a
great deal of optimism, because he knew that the only source of hot
drinks on the entire ship was a benighted piece of equipment produced
by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. It was called a Nutri-Matic
Drinks Synthesizer, and he had encountered it before.

"It claimed to produced the widest possible range of drinks personally
matched to the tastes and metabolism of whoever cared to use it. When
put to the test, however, it invariably produced a plastic cup filled
with a liquid which was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea."
