Drinks.......That Make Ya Think!

Ok.....so I'm passing by a bunch of cool stuff on the internet and list about drinks catches my eye.

Check this out.....

Pepsi Ice Cucumber

Yes, you read the headline correctly: on 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.

Salad Flavored Water

Released way back in 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"!

Kidsbeer

Now here's a marketing hit: a 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 carbonateddrink Kidsbeer, a move that made it an instant hit.

Mother's Milk

And now, for something close to the heart... meet 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 youdrink it from a store bought carton? NO on both counts!

"People might reassure you that no, this is not, we repeat, not actual breastmilk. But who would believe it when the beverage in question is not only called “Mother’s Milk,”

World's Strongest Beer: 25% Alchohol and $110 Per Bottle

A brewery in the States has launched the world's strongest beer. The drink - at 25% alcohol - is six times more powerful than a normal beer and twice the strength of a bottle of wine. And at £56 a bottle, Samuel Adams Utopias is also among the world's most expensive. Just 8,000 of the limited edition 24 oz tipple, sold in a copper kettle, have been brewed by the Boston Beer Company. Brewery founder Jim Koch said the beer was designed to be enjoyed slowly as an after dinner tipple.








Beer for Dogs

For beer lovers and thirsty dogs, there is now an option for hanging out together and sharing a brew. Let the party begin. According to newsbbc, "A small brewery in the Netherlands has launched a new beer designed to bring cool relief to thirsty dogs.

Kwispelbier, marketed as "a beer for your best friend", is made from a special brew of beef extract and malt. The beverage is a creation of pet shop owner Gerrie Berendsen, who wanted her dogs to share light refreshments with her after a day's hunting.

The beer is non-alcoholic and fit for human consumption, but costs four times as much as a Heineken. "Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail. You can see Benito here, a 5-year-old Chihuahua who lives with the inventor of thebeer.






Duff Beer: Homer Simpson's Beer comes true!

Remember Duff Beer? The official sponsor of Homer Simpson drinking sessions is now available thanks to a mexican guy, Rodrigo Contreras Díaz. Produced in Jalisco and distributed only via internet, this limited edition lager beer has been a success, selling over 200 boxes (12 bottles) in 2 weeks. Each box costs around US$ 20 plus shipping.


Crazy right?! The one trips me up most...... I mean COME ON! Beer for kids?!? WTH?
