DISPENSARY CORNER 21 Jan 16
January 21, 2016
HERE’S a new one - North Korea
is claiming to have invented a
hangover free alcohol.
Scientists in the communist state
say they have created a liquor
between 30 to 40% alcohol that
you can consume all night long
without the fear of a pounding
head in the morning.
So how is this possible? They
put it down to the use of a six year
old indigenous ginseng called
insam which is combined with
scorched, glutinous rice.
The science behind it exactly?
Mmmm, we’re not sure either.
It’s not the first time North
Korean media has made
extraordinary claims about
national achievements.
Last year, the country’s official
KCNA news agency said scientists
had developed a drug, with
ginseng again a major component,
that could cure AIDS and Ebola.
LABELLING issues here? Cheeky
hand sanitisers that say aloud
what we were secretly thinking?
There’s ‘Bitch Slap those Germs’
for all occasions and ‘Maybe You
Touched Your Genitals’ for when
you have to shake hands with a
shady looking character.
‘Cleaner Than Sh*t’ is pretty
self explanatory, along with ‘I
Just Sh*t in the Woods’ for those
hiking and camping adventures.
Great advice, shame about the
wording choices.
