Capturing meat in a bottle?

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Apr 4th 2008 @ 7:05PM

Chewing taking up too much of your time? Wish you could find a way to get that vital, meaty protein in a gem-colored translucent beverage? Sadly, you're going to have to wait a little longer, as the appealingly packaged Meatwater, featured on the aptly named website "Dinner in a Bottle" is nothing more than a glossy prank. It rides the coattails of VitaminWater and does a masterful job of populating the website with near-convincing copy.

If you saw Meatwater before this post, were you momentarily convinced that it was a real product (I realize the severed arm on the front page is sort of a giveaway)?
