The Best Drink Excreted from a Slug You’ll Have This Millennium
Alternate title: Whizzy wham wham wozzle!
Fox has applied for a trademark for Slurm, better known as the carbonated beverage of choice in the year 3000, as per Futurama. It is indeed secreted from a giant space slug’s keister, but it’s highly addictive, so that’s okay. Gizmodo says the trademark covers:
…carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks; fruit drinks; fruit juices; mineral and aerated water; bottled drinking water; energy drinks; syrups and powders for making soft drinks and other beverages, namely soft drinks, fruit drinks and tea; coffee-flavored soft drinks; Ramune (Japanese soda pops); powders used in the preparation of isotonic sports drinks and sports beverages.
I have no doubt this will be less an affront to my tastes buds than a soy sauce-flavored Kit Kat.
