New Soda Beverage Made of Chili is Hot
I'm sorry but have you guys tried these "Prometheus Springs" semi-soda things? They are "the world's first capsaicin spiced elixir." I tried the "lychee-wasabi" one and the "pomegranate-black pepper" one, because I am gay and therefore drawn to new product rollouts. Guess what? IT BURNS. Is this the future of beverages? The burning? The burning becomes somewhat pleasurable after a bit. In other news, capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide!) either causes or prevents tumors or does neither of those. PLEASE REPORT BACK.
Um, Choire? This stuff is a topical ointment, like DMSO.
Isn't that the anti-foaming agent they put in chicken mcnuggetes?
*side note – Anti-Foaming Agent was my third spoken word album with Joan Baez.
I really like that album. Your combined voices are like velvety – like two fat chicken thighs rubbing against one another on a long march to freedom.
I can confirm that capsaicin has both caused and prevented most of my tumors.
I can also assert that capsaicin is not the active ingredient in either wasabi or black pepper. (Try Mustard Gas! Now With More Mace!)
ARE YOU A SCIENTIST? LIKE BATMAN?
Choire, "either causes or prevents tumors or does neither of those" is pro-level science writing.
Okay, so who's gonna pour some of this on their junk and report back first?
Yeah, just a quick dip? Maybe a synesthete? We want answers.
Well if it's in the name of science….
either causes or prevents 4 hour erections.
I await an essay/rant on the hidden Illuminati symbolism present in that (awful) label design.
They're going full "vintage Rolling Rock on a novelty t-shirt that frats can replace the '33' with their Greek letters on for a small fee" on this one, it's true.
The label screams, ok mumbles: "drink me, I taste like royal, masonic snake-ass."
I used to have a friend who went to this falafel place where the falafel guy tried to come on to him using the line, "ah…hot sauce…it burns your asshole!"
It's all in how you say it.
I dunno, I tried the ginger flavor and really liked it. But that might just be my GIANT BRAIN TUMOR talking, right?
THIS SEEMS LIKE A RIDICULOUS BEVERAGE
Capsaicin triggers pain receptors yet causes no tissue damage. I was told this by a doctor at a research hospital studying the effects of various ENT surgeries on the sense of taste. I think she said that it was the only or primary naturally occurring compound that does this.
I think the dragon logo is indicating that in due time, you will be biting your asshole in pain.
"It tastes like burning."
