**Item #**: SCP-8893
**Object Class**: Safe
**Special Containment Procedures**:
SCP-8893 is to be stored in a standard secure locker at Site-██. Access requires Level 3 security clearance after Incident 8893-Θ. Testing involving volunteers must be approved by at least one Level 3 researcher and conducted under video surveillance.
Following multiple security breaches, all Level 1 and 2 personnel are prohibited from handling SCP-8893 without direct supervision. The object is to be relocated to High-Value Anomalous Items Wing after the installation of biometric locks
**Description**:
SCP-8893 is a single 500 mL plastic bottle made of opaque white plastic with a white screw cap. The phrase "Good Taste" is printed on its surface in black, simple-font lettering. The bottle is resistant to physical and chemical damage, and the inscription cannot be removed, faded, or altered in any way.
SCP-8893 was recovered from a vending machine in ████████, USA, following reports of a "drink that tastes different to everyone." No other instances were found despite extensive searches. The vending machine showed no signs of tampering, and no manufacturer records of the product exist.
**Anomalous Properties**:
Upon first physical contact with a human, SCP-8893 changes color to one of seven hues corresponding to the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, or violet). This color becomes permanently associated with the subject and does not change upon subsequent interactions. Prior to contact, SCP-8893 remains white.
The liquid inside SCP-8893 is clear, odorless, and tasteless until consumed. Each individual perceives its taste differently, with the following flavor associations being most commonly reported for each color (though not universally consistent in all test cases):
# Red: Berries, sweet pepper
# Orange: Orange, mango
# Yellow: Lemon, pineapple
# Green: Mint, green apple
# Blue: Bubblegum, "chemically pure" taste
# Indigo: Blueberry, plum
# Violet: Grape, lavender
The liquid is calorie-free yet highly effective at quenching thirst. If emptied, the bottle refills automatically:
* If recapped immediately: Refills within 5 seconds
* If left open: Refills in ~2 hours
Extracted liquid retains its properties for 17 minutes before becoming distilled water. Chemical analysis has been inconclusive due to unstable molecular structure.
The phrase "Good Taste" does not match any registered trademark. The pigment used in the printing defies classification and degrades upon structural analysis. Hypotheses suggest SCP-8893 may be a product of an anomalous manufacturer, akin to SCP-294 or SCP-261.
**Addendum 8893-1**: Testing Logs
> Test 8893-17
> Subject: D-9839
> Results: Bottle turned blood-red. Subject reported taste as "burnt wood and something floral."
> Notes: Subject became agitated and requested termination of test.
>
> Test 8893-19
> Subject: D-9135
> Results: Bottle displayed text in unknown language during contact. Subject accurately described childhood memory they had previously forgotten.
> Notes: Text returned to normal after test. Subject showed no residual effects.
**Addendum 8893-2**: Incident Log
> Incident 8893-Δ
> Date: 20/04/2025
> Subject: D-8820
> Details: During standard testing, bottle temporarily turned gold and displayed text matching subject's native dialect they hadn't spoken since childhood.
> Aftermath: Subject recovered previously suppressed memories. No other anomalies detected.
**Addendum 8893-3**: Research Notes
Monitoring of vending machines in ████████ and adjacent regions continues. No additional instances of SCP-8893 have been found as of 24/06/2025.
The phrase on SCP-8893 has been observed to temporarily change post-consumption in 78% of tests, most commonly to "Good Enough" or "Goodbye Taste." These changes appear related to subject satisfaction levels.
**Addendum 8893-4**: Administrative Note
Following numerous formal requests (and several documented attempts at unauthorized access), all personnel are reminded that SCP-8893 is not not available for general use. The object's anomalous properties do not constitute "a fun team-building opportunity." Any further attempts to bypass security protocols will result in disciplinary action.
Storage relocation pending following Incident 8893-Θ (involving three researchers, a fake fire alarm, and an ill-advised bet regarding whether the bottle could produce alcoholic variants). Current proposals include installing additional security measures.
Memorandum now explicitly prohibits:
* Taste-test ranking charts
* "Flavor lottery" pools
* Using SCP-8893 as a conflict resolution tool
Cross-testing with mnestic agents proposed to investigate memory-related effects. Awaiting approval. Reclassification to Euclid under consideration following recent incidents.
