Google Video

Google Gulp
In 2005, Google unveiled their drink, Google Gulp. According to Google, the beverage will optimize one's use of the Google search engine by increasing the drinker's intelligence. The drink was said to come in "4 great flavors": Glutamate Grape (glutamic acid), Sugar-Free Radical (free radicals), Beta Carroty (beta carotene), and Sero-Tonic Water (serotonin). However, this drink has yet to be seen in stores.
