85% of readers preferred this* soft drink to this one. Just sayin'. YMMV but with all due respect, I do not want to know. Oh so very not. Oh, Great Ghu not.
PS: It cures what? No it doesn't.

Years ago I was editing a TV show for chemistry instruction at the university level. The instructor was describing a lab procedure in which a chemist needed a particularly expensive organic chemistry compound for an experiment. He found that if he fed horses a particular diet, he could collect their urine and extract this chemical from their urine for next to nothing. At that, our instructor turned to the close-up camera and chuckled, "Boy, talk about an envivo synthesis methodology!"
ReplyDeleteMaybe you had to be there.
I'd rather have one of our local brews, thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhich simply verifies why beer is nature's most nearly perfect food. Made from purest water and natural whole grains, it is preferable to either Brand X or Brand Cow in your examples.
ReplyDeleteSam Adams for me, thanks.
Chemist was working a theory a while back that the secret to Stradivari's fiddle finish was a varnish heavy with ammonia or summat, which in 1660 was only available from one source. He set up a 'science donation' bucket in a men's room, and proceeded thence. Obviously a methodological error, as he didn't pay attention to what the guys were drinking. And so his researches came to nought.
