Former UW-Madison Student Invents 'Turbo Tap'
Tap Used At U.S. Cellular, Wrigley Fields

POSTED: 11:08 am CDT July 15, 2005

Bars all over the nation may never be the same thanks to the innovation of a Wisconsin man.

Ashwaubenon native Matt Younkle has invented a device called "turbo tap."

The turbo tap can pour draft beer in about two to three seconds. That is four times faster than a conventional tap.

Younkle said his invention has been several years in the making, and it all started back in his college days.

"As a student at the University of Wisconsin, I was waiting in a beer line that was moving way too slowly. I got to thinking about ways that I could make beer pour faster and move the line more quickly," Younkle said.

4. I'm not impressed.
Now, if someone would come up with something that would open the bag of Doritos for you, **that** would be an invention.
