They call it Mellow Yellow
« on: February 17, 2009, 09:00:53 PM »
NEW DELHI (Reuters) – A hardline Hindu organization, known for its opposition to "corrupting" Western food imports, is planning to launch a new soft drink made from cow's urine, often seen as sacred in parts of India.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), or National Volunteer Corps, said the bovine beverage is undergoing laboratory tests for the next 2 to 3 months but did not give a specific date for its commercial release.

The flavor is not yet known, but the RSS said the liquid produced by Hinduism's revered holy cows is being mixed with products such as aloe vera and gooseberry to fight diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Many Hindus consider cow urine to have medicinal properties and it is often drunk in religious festivals.

All I can say is........................HOLY COW!

I thought it sounded pretty bad until I saw the part about it "being mixed with products such as aloe vera and gooseberry."

Yum.

Smooth gooseberry cowpiss.

"Then I dreamed that one day there was nothing but milk for them, and the jailor said as he put down the pipkin:

'Our relations with the cow are not delicate - as you can easily see if you imagine eating any of her other secretions.'

Now John had been in the pit a shorter time than any of the others: and at these words something seemed to snap in his head and he gave a great sigh and suddenly spoke out in a loud, clear voice:

'Thank heaven!  Now at last I know that you are talking nonsense.....You are trying to pretend that unlike things are like.  You are trying to make us think that milk is the same sort of thing as sweat or dung.'

'And pray, what difference is there except by custom?'

'Are you a liar or only a fool, that you see no difference between that which nature casts out as refuse and that which she stores up as food?'  'Milk does feed calves and dung does not.'"

If they can make money selling cow pee as a drink why couldn't I make money selling shock collars as automatic baby sitters?

I seem to recall as a child that there was an African beer called Panther Piss...

Maybe there is a way to market this whole "green'' thing by using animal urine flavors...

Uhmmm...nummies...a return to nature :laugh:

Fresh urine is actually sterile, assuming the animal is healthy.

There are people who drink their own urine for health reasons. No idea if it works.
