Two Great Tastes that Don’t Go Together

Admit it. Back in college there was at least one morning after a drunken kegger when you ignored your vicious hangover and tried to down a glass of milk. Just for a moment, you thought, “I wonder if this is what beer and milk would taste like mixed together?” and then you headed for the bathroom and had a long, serious talk with Mr. Toilet. Well, thanks to the country that brought you the talking toilet (shown here in an animated version that must be seen to be believed), you needn’t wonder any longer. Bilk is now available—just in a limited area, but any day now it will be lurking next to the Zima in the Poison Beverage aisle of your local supermarket. The makers claim this potion has a “fruity” taste that will appeal to the women’s market. Maybe. Just remember, this is the nation that invented frog sushi (not safe for work. Or home. Seriously, just don’t watch it) and thought you could “improve” pizza by topping it off with creamed corn and seaweed. I swear on my mother’s grave, if I ever visit Japan no food or beverage will pass my lips until I’m on the plane outta there.
