Put down your boring can of Pepsi and check out what people around the world are drinking!

This is made using the nests of cave dwelling birds. The birds basically vomit a sticky goo into their nests, and the goo firmly attaches the nest to the cave wall. This is considered a delicacy in China, even though the bird spit reportedly tastes musty and has the consistency of snot.

They call this a “synthetic blood substitute” – complete with iron, protein, and electrolytes. It has the look and consistency of real blood, and it comes in a blood pouch. Available for sale here.

Warning: there are some gross photos ahead!

Yes, this is actual human breast milk in a carton. Thankfully, they put a suckling baby on the side so people will be less likely to accidentally use it in their coffee.

In Alaska, the Eskimos collect dead seagulls and put them in glass bottles filled with water. Oh, it gets worse. They then cork the bottle and let it ferment in the sun for weeks. It supposedly tastes like carburetor fluid, and gives you a nasty hangover. The real question is, has Sarah Palin tried it?

In Japan, you can buy a beverage made with placenta (pig, not human). Women think it makes them look youthful. You can get it diluted in 10000mg, and it’s also available in 400000mg for the placenta diehards. Zero calories, ladies! Take that, Vitamin Water!

This item is currently in its final testing phase in India, and is expected to be released later this year. The urine will reportedly be mixed with flavors like aloe vera and gooseberry, and will compete in the soda market against Pepsi and Coke. Video here.

This is actually considered a “health tonic” across Asia, where they drown 2 day old baby mice in bottles of rice wine and leave them there to ferment. They believe that the mice must be bottled before they open their eyes, or the wine will be poisoned. And you thought swallowing a tequila worm was bad?

Yes, it’s as bad as it sounds. Street vendors pluck frogs from their aquariums, kill them, skin them, and drop them into a blender. The “juice” is supposed to cure bronchitis, asthma, lethargy, and various other ills. Read all about it at MSNBC.

This is simply snake blood, mixed with snake bile. They cut off the snake’s head, drain the blood into glasses, and drink it. It supposedly enhances male potency. So much for Viagra.

This was from the memorable Jones Soda holiday pack in 2006. Other flavors included sweet potato soda, dinner roll soda, and pea/antacid flavored soda. In 2009, they released the even more disgusting sounding Tofurky and Gravy Soda. Thanks, but I’ll pass.

Yet another drink for male potency! It’s basically white wine, with a gigantic deer penis flopping around in it. The drink was actually banned from the Olympics in China in 2008.
