OCP: What Would YOU Like To Drink?

We’ve set up an interview with OCP at PAX for next week. These folks have made it their duty to bring fictional products to life for consumption by geeks and nerds like us throughout America. If you’ve seen the movie Idiocracy in which Mike Judge (Beavis & Butt-Head) foretells a horrific future where idiots have taken over the Earth, you’ll remember that they like to water their crops with a Gatorade-like drink named Brawndo. It was the stuff of dreams until OCP made it real. Fans of Anchorman (Dodgeball is better) will remember his cologne: Sex Panther. OCP make that too. Most recently they started making the synthetic drinkable blood from True Blood out of tasty blood oranges.
So we’re going to ask them about some products we’d like to see them make. Most likely they’ve thought of them already and there will be reasons (licensing, sanity) why they haven’t been produced yet, but we want to gauge their reactions and hey, some of them they might not have thought of. We need your help dear readers to give us a sizable list. I’d suggest something you can eat, drink or spray on yourself as that seems to be their MO right now.
I’d like to see them do that baby-food stuff Robocop eats (they take their name Omni-Consumer Products from that movie incidentally) I’m sure my daughter would love it. Duff Beer obviously. Pawtucket Ale from Family Guy. Butterbeer from Harry Potter almost seems likely. But most of all, I want to taste Slurm from Futurama.
A Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster:
Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol’ Janx Spirit.
Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V
Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it (in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia).
Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones.
Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian suns deep into the heart of the drink.
Sprinkle Zamphour.
Add an olive.
Drink…but very carefully.
I imagine that would be difficult to produce…but still, it would be LEGENDARY.
Slurm from futurama is already available – They stock it at cybercandy if you’re of a mind.
And despite not being able to think of any products off hand, i feel i must chastise you, sir, for your dispersions on Anchorman – Dodgeball, whilst genius (You’re about as useful as a cock flavoured lollipop), loses something to Anchorman, the clearly superior movie.
Good day sir!
ok.
Star Wars- Bacta
sold as an energy drink with reviving qualities.
-Blue Milk (as served in A New Hope).
milk thats blue
Dharma Initiative beer from Lost.
nuka-cola -fallout 3
herbal spray- resident evil
a bottle of star power -guitar hero (ok, maybe not)
Saurian Brandy and Romulan Ale – blue/green, exotic packaging easily reproduced with 1960s Earth technology, either will get you so drunk you think you *are* James T. Kirk.
