Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
How about this for an oddity! If you can get through the bad, advert-strewn, design read all about Asian Snake Wine.
The website expalins that this Vietnamesse product contains rice wine, ginseng root, seed pods (ummm, which seeds exacatly?), red pepper ellets (for medicinal purposes) and a real green tree snake. In fact there are two snakes "artisically arranged" to show a cora with fully displayed hood snaking on the green tree snake. Delightful.
The snakes are left to ferment in the wine for "some weeks". It is no doubt this period when the "mystical sexual stimulative properties" are created. Of course this statement would make this product immediatly illegal in most Western countries. The product is also "believed to boost longevity, have high therapeutic properties, rheumatism, lumbago, back and muscle pain". Cost is 30 euros plus 15 euros shipping.
Oh yes, a delightful bottle of wine with more than a little dash of partialy fermented snake. Certainly a talking point at parties.
