Bizaare Drinks... Thirsty?

 So are you Thirsty?  May be we have something here for you... a346_Cucumber.jpgIn 2007, Pepsi released this special Ice Cucumber-flavored drink in Japan. While the bottle clearly describes it as "combination" of cucumber and cola, there just isn’t much cola flavor to it. The drink takes on a somewhat sweet and fruity flavor, but the artificial cucumber flavor is noticeable.  a346_salad.jpgIn 2004 by Coca-Cola, the Salad Water comes in 6 different flavors. It tastes like a lite fruit punch; as PeeWee would say "It's Salady"!   a346_mothersmilk.jpgMeet Mother's Milk, the breast-tasting drink ever. Is there anything in the world more wholesome, more natural, more life-giving than mother's milk? Is there anything in the world that would make you drink it from a store bought carton? a346_melonmilk.jpgIt's made from melon juice and milk. OK, that plus water, sugar, and some very long chemical names. But yeah, it's basically Japanese melon-flavored milk.  a346_dietwater.jpgMeet the Diet Water: all the flavor of regular water, only half the calories.  a346_bilk.jpgMILK + BEER = BILK. A brewery in Hokkaido, Japan, recently released a low-malt beer using milk. The idea came from the son of a liquor store who is in the dairy farm industry. After having a problem of discarding milk, he proposed the local brewery to produce the milk beer. As one-third of beer is milk, it is the good way to help local farmers. The taste of beer is like a taste of fruits and it goes well with sweets. a346_cheesedrink.jpgCare for a glass of cheese? This new cheese drink comes in 3 different flavors; plain, blueberry, and yuzu citrus. They use a special process to cut down on the sweet taste of the flavored drinks. It is said to have a taste similar to yogurt, but with a cheesy aftertaste.  a346_cowurine.jpgIndia's Hindu nationalist movement recently said it is in the final stages of developing a new soft drink made from cow urine. Department head Om Prakash said the drink - called "gau jal" or "cow water" - was undergoing lab tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year". "Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too," he said. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins." He insisted, however, that it would be able to compete with the likes of Coca Cola and Pepsi !!

 a346_placenta.jpgA jelly drink. With placenta. Pig placenta. 10,000 mg worth! Placenta is said to have regenerative properties, especially concerning beauty, and can help with dieting as well. At about $8 per drink, it's expensive, but Japanese aren't exactly known for sacrificing their health and looks for a couple of bucks either. If 10,000 mg/serving just doesn't cut it for your placenta-loving pallet, they have a Placenta 400,000 concentrate as well.  a346_kidsbeer.jpgA nonalcoholic "beer" for kids that's selling like crazy. The beverage, whose main ingredient is the Latin American plant Guarana, sells for around 380 yen per 330-milliliter bottle. The bottles themselves are colored brown to make the drink look even more like its more potent counterpart. The drink started out as Guarana, a cola beverage that used to be sold at the Shitamachi-ya restaurant in Fukuoka, run by 39-year-old Yuichi Asaba. Asaba renamed the sweet carbonated drink Kidsbeer, a move that made it an instant hit.--------------------------------------   Side Note:    The battle of 7 feet tall women...    ANTM Cycle 12 starts now !   http://www.buddytv.com/usrimages/usr3504559/3504559_b108f315-597d-4d67-83f2-feab2e6c3061-tm12-group.jpg

Happy Barbie's 50th Birthday!!!

Barbie's 50th Birthday

Barbie may be turning 50 this year, but middle-aged, she is not. Of course, she's kept busy during the years, with 108 careers & and counting. She's been an Olympic athlete, a Marine Corps sergeant, a dentist, an aerobics instructor, an astronaut and a rock star. Barbie had a show during New York Fashion Week and her 50th birthday will be officially celebrated March 9, 2009.

interesting... thank you for sharing

somehow i would rather think why they launched that product...for example; a nonalcoholic "beer" for kids etc.

it's something new. it's innovation. it's stimulation. it can broaden the market...or whatever... anyway, i think it's just seasonal.

Bilk sounds disgusting but I love cucumber so maybe that would be good for a hangover like the one I have now. They never release these types of drinks in the UK maybe they don't think our pallets are adventurous enough.
