India: Cow Urine Soft Drink, Gau Jal, To Be Launched As Coke Alternative

India's Hindu nationalist movement is working on creating a new soft drink to rival Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The main ingredient? Cow urine.

The Times Online explains the development of the beverage by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS):

Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink - called "gau jal", or "cow water" - in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory 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 told The Times from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. "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."

Maybe it would sell better if they called it "Kitten Urine."

I've thought from the very beginning that this - or more specifically the general outpouring of material support these things tend to bring, along with the possibility of a Crazy Mom and Seven Kids + Eight tv deal was likely the entire point of all this.

And if you ignore the human cost, in 2009 for a single mom with seven kids and no prospects, it ain't the worst business plan you could, um, conceive.

I saw part of an interview with Octomom. Perhaps it was shallow of me, but I found it difficult to follow because her lips were very distracting.

TJ fans, someone made a video about the store.

Many years ago, I posted in Natter on how we had a box of 500 plastic spoons, and how nice it was to have so many spoons.

At this moment there are only two spoons left.

I am working very hard every time I see a news story on her to not hate her with every ounce of my being. I wish well for her children, that is where I am right now.

I continue to be amazed at how bold some people are, given this job market. Some people here are really pretty horrible about even appearing to do their work, not to mention the arguing with the boss. just dumb.

tommy reminds me I need to bring in a washable fork/spoon to work soon.

At this moment there are only two spoons left.

Next time you get a new box you need to grab about a hundred spoons to hoard.

That's me. I think she's beyond irresponsible, possibly into the category of child endangerment, and mentally ill. I don't think that *she* deserves one single donated diaper or offers of nanny help, and certainly not monetary dontions (or book deals, etc.).

However, those things (donations, etc.) are going to help those 8 babies, and they SO need the help, considering they have only one parent, who is mentally ill and unemployed.

Honestly? I think CPS should step in and take those poor octuplets and place them in homes with mentally healthy parents who can afford to raise them.

I know that's WAY Judgey McJudgerson of me, but for fuck's sake. The mother's selfishness is going to screw with 8 lives (not to mention the 6 kids she already has) -- when it comes to harming innocent lives, you damn bet I'm going to judge.
