We regret we weren't able to deliver this valuable information last month, but apparently a "hangover taxi" stocked with orange juice, sunglasses, and Tylenol has been offering free rides to stricken Londoners.
"A hangover taxi is weaving through the streets of London, helping hung-over professionals get to work the night after a few too many tequila shots. It's called the Kab-u-to work, started by the Kabuto Noodle company, and it's brilliant," writes Jenn Harris. "Sounds too good to be true, but an instant noodle company is offering the hangover taxi service to its customers, free of charge."
"We often get told that a steaming pot of Kabuto Noodles has rescued a fuzzy head, so we’ve decided to go an extra step further and create the ultimate hangover cure," writes Kabutonoodles on its website. "This season we’re going to be trialling a bespoke taxi service to get you from your house to your office the night after your Christmas party - including a ‘hangover cure’ pack."
