Is it a soda or shampoo? Well, in this case it's the latter, now that you mention it. Available from Digital Soaps' online store in Mountain Dew, Pepsi and 7-Up flavors.
Continuing with the "soda that's not really soda" theme, here are some spy cams cleverly disguised as "pop" cans. More from the Chip Chick site. Who knew?
Water from fruit. Really. What will they think of next?
The makers of Karpati bottled water, who are based in Australia, have devised a method they call "pressure chilling" to make their product. As they put it, "Every drop is filtered through fruit - making it the most naturally purified water on earth, using nature's living filters."
For more on this process, refer to the Karpati Web site.

Makes sense, I guess, that Andrew Zimmern should be chosen as a spokesperson for Cherry Pepto. It would be tough to come up with a better match, aside from the likes of something like Imodium. If you can't get enough of Andrew on Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern then have a look at the Taste Adventure Guides listed here.
Speaking of Bizarre Foods, the current season is still underway, with Andrew slated to visit Maine next. Along for the ride this time - the elder Zimmern, Andrew's father. Highlights to include beaver chili and stinging nettles soup.

Would you pay someone to freeze your bottled water? If you live in a blistering hot climate, the kind of place where a bottle of water becomes downright tepid in no time at all, you just might. Which is what the makers of Fria Frozen Water are betting on. Read more about it in the Arizona Daily Star.
Have you indulged in a bit too much Red Bull, perhaps? Or Meth Coffee? It might just be time for an extreme relaxation beverage. No, it's apparently not anything with cyanide in it, though I guess that would fit the bill. What it is is Drank, a product which promises to "Slow Your Roll" and which contains such extremely relaxing ingredients as valerian root and melatonin. Don't take two of those.
It's time for another new episode of Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern. This time around he's headed to Sicily to dig into the likes of sardine meatballs, cow spleen and artichoke ice cream, among other things.
The new episode airs tonight on The Travel Channel. If you're reading this after the fact don't despair - Bizarre Foods episodes seem to be rerun quite frequently.
Here's the transcript of a recent chat with Andrew.

TrekMovie.com recently took a look at Star Trek-themed eateries past and present. Included, the Enterprise Family Restaurant, located in the appropriately named town of Vulcan in Alberta, Canada. More here.
If it's Star Trek-themed recipes you seek, you're in luck. A number of Star Trek-related cookbooks have been published over the years. The most readily available these days seems to be The Star Trek Cookbook, by Ethan Phillips and William J. Birnes. Phillips, of course, portrayed Neelix - who served more or less as the ship's cook - on the Star Trek Voyager series. Here's a review of the book.
