    There’s an urban legend about animators at Pixar pranking Listerine executives while making a commercial. They filled one of the bottles with apple juice and made $20 bets to drink it. Supposedly one of the reps watching it being chugged went running for the bathroom to throw up.

          Yeah apparently used to be golden colored. Which I’m surprised by because I was always under the impression that companies were required by law to make non-edible liquids, such as disinfectants, look unpalatable. Perhaps that’s just an EU thing.

          (seems weird to say edible liquid but I don’t know how else to articulate it)

              They played a commercial the other day (first time I’ve seen one for this brand actually) and the way the guy held it up in the shot where they do that I was 90% expecting him to take a swig cuz that’s the energy the ad had

    A drink company in Japan came out with a drink called ‘nanchatte orenji’ which looked a lot like soy sauce.

    I brought a used bottle of vegetable oil as my drinking bottle to an event. What I didn’t consider was that the bottle resembled a vodka bottle, so while I was taking sips of it and thought it was funny, people just thought I was a raging alcoholic.

    This will make you look weird at most

    Sterilize a bleach bottle or some other very unsafe to drink container and use that as your water bottle instead for the real chaos
