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.

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.
With all the zillions of energy drinks flooding the market these days, it was probably a foregone conclusion that someone would come out with an organic variety. That someone is the Organic Beverage Company. They make Syzmo, which is available in Original and Prickly Pear flavors. Check their Web site here and a review from BevNET here.
A little while back, Chow featured an article called Art of the Shock-tail. It deals with what you might call - for lack of better terminology - meat cocktails. Oh dear.
If you're looking for a beverage without so much meat in it, perhaps cucumber Pepsi will do the trick. Actually, you may have already missed Pepsi Ice Cucumber, which was a limited edition flavor that was apparently only available in Japan this summer. But if you really need to get your hands on some I'm sure there must be a way. More at CBS News.
If you've been keeping track of Jimi Hendrix's "career" since 1970, you'll know that he's put out quite a few albums, even though this was the year he left us for rock and roll heaven.
Now, some 37 years after his passing, the influential guitarist has lent his name to an energy drink, of all things. Voodoo Vibe is the first in a planned line of beverages known as the Jimi Hendrix Liquid Experience. Clever. According to the Web site, "This new energy drink is a tribute to Jimi's legacy." Umm...
Those tireless tasters at BevNET recently reviewed Voodoo Vibe. For more on their verdict, look here.
Speaking of lending, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. is now lending his name to a line of candy bars. They're called Dale Jr.'s Big Mo' and are available in creamy caramel and peanut butter flavors. More at the Web site, including a sweepstakes.
If beverages with a futuristic bent are your kind of thing, then Microgravity Enterprises has just the ticket. Antimatter Energy Drink is said to have been "produced from ingredients that have been flown in space." From snooping around at their Web site I wasn't able to discern exactly what this means, but you can have a look for yourself, right here.
Microgravity Enterprises also offers Space2O purified water, which is billed as "the world's first Space Water." What this all means is that it "is produced from a rigorous multi-step purification process that adds spaceflown electrolytes to enhance flavor and taste." So there. More info here.
It's downright trendy these days to wax rhapsodic and self-righteous about the joys of tap water while bashing the evil minions of the bottled water industry - or something like that.
Yeah, whatever. I've never been a big fan of the bottled stuff. But I'm also not ready to guzzle straight from the tap. I use a Brita filter in hopes of filtering out whatever nasties might be present. If there are none then there's nothing lost or gained.
If you're also into a filtration type of solution, but you find plain old water a little bland, you might want to go with PuR Flavored Options, which allow you to filter and flavor your tap water at the same time. None for me, thanks. I'll stick to flavoring my water with tea.
If, on the other hand, you're hankering for a big box of "pure Norwegian arctic spring water," check out the Glacia IceBox. Whatever else you might say about these guys, you've gotta admit that they know how to churn out the purple prose on their Web site.
Pizza beer? Well, maybe. Cheese perfume? Hmmm.
Mamma Mia Pizzabeer is the creation of Chicago-area brewers, Tom and Athena Seefurth. It's not quite as weird as it sounds, but is merely a beer that's brewed with tomato, oregano, basil, garlic and whatnot. For more information, check out the Web site or this profile from the Courier News.
