Eel Energy Drink Anyone?
|
|
"A canned drink called `Unagi Nobori,` or `Surging Eel,` made by Japan Tobacco Inc., hit the nation`s stores this month just ahead of Japan`s annual eel-eating season, company spokesman Kazunori Hayashi said Monday."  Quotation from the Associated Press When I`m in Rome I might do as the Romans do, but when I`m in Tokyo there`s no way in hell I will do as the natives of that city and imbibe eel juice. Eel juice is marketed as an energy drink, but when it comes to energy drinks I draw the line at Pimp Juice. I might guzzle Pimp Juice from a Pimp Cup, but I ain`t gonna drink eel juice not even from the most expensive crystal glass in the world. Japan Tobacco Inc isn`t going to have any success if they export their eel juice to the United States. Even if they had commercials featuring a naked Jessica Alba holding a bottle of eel juice, it`s not going to sell. Thank the stars I live in America where we don`t have a freakin` eel season, and we don`t chug eel energy drink.
