When my sister and I were little, we made up this word "Boobyteen." At some point we decided it was something we would "cook" and made up a recipe for it. The recipe was (brace yourselves) poop, pee, milk, orange juice and sugar (I am simultaneously cracking up and throwing up in my mouth a little right now). One night, when a nearly immobile old lady was babysitting us, Jo and I decided we would make Boobyteen. There was no actual cooking involved, but we put it in a stockpot and left it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator (a few years later I pierced my own ears when that same sitter was watching us). We never, ever intended to consume it, in any way, and obviously our mom was really, really mad. But apparently, it turns out we might have been onto something...
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....
"Cow urine offers a cure for around 70 to 80 incurable diseases like diabetes. All are curable by cow urine," Om Prakash, the head of the RSS Cow Protection Department, told Reuters by phone.
Boobyteen!
