Watch out, Snapple!

The other day I was visiting one of the GLOM (Gorgeous Ladies of Marketing). I noticed on her desk a glass filled with this murky, thick, dark green liquid. "Ack, what is that?" "Oh, it's liquid chlorophyll," she said. "Okay, but - you're not drinking it, are you?" "Oh yes, it's good for you."

Allegedly, it "builds blood, improves blood oxygenation & helps cleanse the body" according to one health food web site. I don't care what it does, it looks far worse than the cleansing waters of Lake Erie in the 1970s ever did. The closest I want to be involved with photosynthesis is eating a big salad.

Ewwwwwww! That's gross. Since you're allergic to the outside, wouldn't you just give yourself interior hives by drinking that?

I would think there'd be pollen in that stuff, yeah. Even if I wasn't Miss Hayfever 2003, I still wouldn't drink it on a dare.

I think the only person who should really be drinking that stuff is Ficus Pandurata.

If I drink maple syrup, is that close enough? It comes from trees, which are much stronger and live much longer than grass.

Isn't that funny, maple syrup and chlorophyl, so close and yet so far. I try not to think about where honey comes from, nothing personal against bees of course.

I would only drink it if it was an Art/Sci entry.

Audrey Hepburn tried eating tulip bulbs and baking grass into bread during the German occupation in WWII. It didn't seem to do her any harm.
