A urine-based soft drink?
Permalink  

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 22, 2009

LEAD STORY

Though India is recognized as a world leader in promoting the health benefits of urine, its dominance will be assured by the end of the year when a cow-urine-based soft drink comes to market. Om Prakash, chief of the Cow Protection Department of the RSS organization (India's largest Hindu nationalist group), trying to reassure a Times of London reporter in February, promised, "It won't smell like urine and will be tasty, too," noting that medicinal herbs would be added and toxins removed. In addition to improved health, he said, India needs a domestic (and especially Hindu) beverage to compete with the foreign influence of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. [The Times, 2-11-09]

Do you think YOU would drink this?

Uh... no, I would not drink that.
It's not really that appalling though; there are religions around the world that believe you should drink your pee after you do your business.
It's only appalling because society says it is
...Well that and the fact that it smells gross, and it's just disgusting in many ways.

Lets get real... If you were in 711 looking for something cool and refreshing to drink, would you get MD, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, 7up, or someone's donated PEE???

This is one of those things where you just scratch your head and think: 'Who on earth thought this would be a good idea?!'

But this reminds me of a Doritos commercial I saw recently I thought was funny(even though it's a Superbowl commercial, I never saw it?):
