The Strangest Soft Drink

Cow Urine Soft Drink, “Gau Jal”.

This drink made from cow urine. The Hindu Nationalist movement, said that the drink is currently in the process of the end of development. A drink made from cow urine is planned to be launched in 2009. According to the Chief developer of this drink, “Minuman finally will not smell like urine, and it will also favour”. “Gau Jal”, the name of which is planned this will mean cows water. According to the author, this drink will be able to compete with Pepsi and Coca Cola.

Ooww,,, does the flavor and color of the drink is almost the same as other carbonated beverage? 😕  May you not imagine this drink when you’re drinking Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Hhahhaahaa… 😀 .The most peculiar soft drink in the world. Uppsss,,,,, sorry,,, 😉

Placenta Beverages

Drink this one is absolutely not lawful. Jelly drink drink is made with the main ingredient placenta (ari-ari), with each bottle reaches the weight of 10,000 mg! Placenta regenerative ability is believed to have, especially to do with beauty and will be able to help your diet! The drink is also available in the size of the 400,000 mg also.

Jelly drink of placenta beverages pigs 😯 .In my opinion this nerd soft drink in the world. Create the Muslims who want to perform is always beautiful, ageless and don’t try to drink 👿 .Try drinking, sins are borne by themselves 😆 .Let alone want to diet, there are still many other ways are more healthy, true isn’t it? 💡

Pepsi Ice Cucumber.

Right, ice cucumber! in 2007, Pepsi launched a drink taste of cucumber in Japan. Indeed in the bottle is a combination cola and cucumber, but in reality, almost ga there is a sense in the cola drink, so it’s between sweet and fresh flavor fruit. But clearly, the cucumber is very dominate this drink.

Light refreshments strange , pepsi the sense of a cucumber 😕

Milk Mixed Beer (Beer Milk)

Hokkaido, Japan, one of the producers of drinks is just releasing low-malt beer with lizard mixed milk. This strange idea came from the son of a dairy industry owners. This product is two-thirds milk and one low-malt beer. The “new taste” of beer this similar fruit juice and very fitting with sugary foods. Hopefully this will be soft drink popular among women.

The odd drink mixed with milk. If usually soft drink we drink tea or coffee plus milk plus milk, there is now a beer plus milk. Maybe sort of beer which is healthy. 😆

Needs Made Of Cheeses

Drink this one made of cheese! In fact there are three flavors: blueberry, orange and yuzu. This drink maker using a special process to reduce the sweetness of this drink. Perhaps it could be compared with yogurt, sour special taste without Yogurt.

This seems like a great idea for those of you who don’t like the yogurt. 💡

Water Flavor Salad

Ideas from Coca-Cola. This “salad water” had six flavors. So it’s not just a joke, although until now has not been entered into our country Indonesia to substantiate it.

A great idea for those of you who are less consuming fruit and vegetables, let alone who don’t like vegetables. Drinks taste varied salad was great. Salubrious and worth a try. 🙂

Water Flavored Milk (BREAST MILK)

Instead of right BREAST MILK (breast milk), only drink with the taste of breast milk. It remains unclear, for whom the drink this one created.

Drink breast milk that strange and healthy all at once can be nostalgia for those of us who’ve grown up just being a baby. 🙂

Water Diet

With a taste like water! and half the calories of regular water.

Drinking water, soft drinks in claimed to have half of the usual calories calories. Where there is drinking water containing calories. 😕 According to sources obtained drinking water is much more expensive, but are in demand.

Pokka Melon Milk

Drinks are mixed between melon milk and sugar.

It seems the giving of names of liqueurs this makes people feel strange compared with just giving the name just juice cantaloupes usual . If this seems like a strange made. :-X

 

I apologize if my comment above, less fun.. 😆 😳 🙄

Research: Brushing My Teeth With Your Right Hand Is Dangerous!

Our brain is divided into two parts (hemisphere), i.e. right brain and left brain with different functions 🙄

Right Brain

Right brain function in the development of eq (emotional quotient), such as the terms of the equation, the delusion (imagination), creativity, shape or space, emotion, music and color, lateral thinking (parallel), intuitive thinking and feeling, unstructured, and tend not to think of things that are too detailed.

Right-brain memory is long term (long term memory). If there is a right-brain damage such as stroke or a brain tumor, brain function is impaired visual abilities and emotions are for example.

 

Left Brain

Left brain function as controllers iq (intelligence quotient) as difference, numbers, sequences, writing, language, count, analytical, mathematical, systematic, linear, neat, stage by stage, and logic.

The left brain is memory short term (short term memory). If there is damage to the left brain then there will be disruption in terms of functions of speech, language and mathematics.

Simply put, the right brain is Keflavík creativity and spontaneity. While the left brain is brain who likes to analyze and much consideration 😛

 

Then what to do with brushing my teeth with your right hand? 😕

According to experts, most of the people in the world living with brain rely more on his left. Why? 😕 From our little school taught arithmetic, think with logic, language. A little bit once music lessons, painting etc. This causes imbalance, that is more dominant than left brain right brain. When we live it took both to function optimally.

If so, the potential of the right brain will be weak and getting weaker. To that end, all teachers, professors, mentors, trainers when teaching must use strategy of involvement of the left and right brain to their students. One simple activity for those of us who have grown up to train right brain is to rub the teeth with your left hand.

 

Why is the left hand? 😕

The left hand is controlled by the right brain, while the right hand is controlled by the left brain. If you rub the teeth with your right hand, that’s tantamount to adding unnecessary domination on the left brain. The danger isn’t it? 😳

Another simple way is to take the goods, write, open the door, hold the remote, moves the mouse, typing in hp, turned on the tv button and other activities with your left hand.

A Collection Of Watches Of The Most Difficult-To-Read

During these hours we see the usual to indicate local time generally takes the form of an analog or digital, that is very easy to use in knowing time. However, it turns out there are a few hours have a way and a unique design in that show the local time. Want to know what sort of shape, model, design a unique clock? Let’s take a look together 😆

Equalizer High Frequency 2

High frequency is 2, this clock uses the theme of the Equalizer. agan must be quick to read time: screen push to line up the lights, which then floats back like the graphic equaliser to show the time only 5 seconds. Technically, High Frequency 2 is actually quite sophisticated Watch: this is an advanced LCD which uses only 1 LED lights to watch a whole, so power consumption is very low.

It seems very troublesome for users, unfamiliar 😕 .but the clock is suitable for style.

e35 JLr7

Look at it carefully, and agan what happens with this clock. created by Eri & amp; Eiichi or e35, called JLr7 (just look at the top row of the hour. When agan wanted to find time now, simply press a button to watch the L-shaped notches grid flame. Hours, minutes, and seconds are encoded in geometric patterns. The first two lines are blazing, consisting of 12 lights, in use to determine ‘ the clock ‘. The next three lines specify the flame of multiples of 15 minutes, and 14th minutes, the next line of flame 1 minute each. Who was second last three.

Here’s how to read the time with e35 JLr7:

It took quick to read the clock. So, find fast guys 😉

Oberon

Watches using concentric rings to Oberon tells time. Each LED outside the ring indicate 1 hour. The LED on the second ring is 1 minute each, and those in the ring (or third) in, 10 minutes each.

This clock is very stylish. Fortunately, the LEDS are positioned exactly like the numbers on the face of the watch, so it’s really very easy to tell the time 😎

 e35 Geomesh

Let us read this hour guys: see time with e35 where agan have to calculate vertical lights to find out hours and horizontal lights to minutes (either 5 minutes or 1 minute hike, depending on where the lights). Here’s how:

There are 9 horizontal (green) is lit, so 9: 00. Lamp 5 x 5 minutes every 4 x 1 minute every light bulb = 29.

Eleeno Kion Elite

If you look closer, you’ll reply nemuin that only this sole watches showing time minutes. So how do we know the hour? Turns out, it’s a way to see it: the pattern will be ‘ shows ‘ what time today (07: 50 am in picture above).

Tokyoflash 1000100101

If this is probably about the same hour in the sci-fi film from 1960 about the future. In addition to cool (LED blinking with lots of colors), this clock will make you learn math 😳

Whenever you want to find out what time is it now, you’ll have to do mental arithmetic 🙄 .the LED first is 10 hours, then the next 9 is 1 hour each. Next 5 is 10 minutes, then to 9 is 1 minute. So, 11: 35 am is 1000 100 30 5.

And don’t say that you will not use math in real life! 😆

Radioactive Active Reactor

By now, you’ve had to take a pattern: these watches require a mathematical formula to figure out the time. Not fancy, just a little extra. Active Radioactive Reactor adds a little humor to mathematics: hours marked on bar ‘ Danger ‘ (with a warning sign indicates the button 6 hours).

Kyokusen

In Japan, the curved line, kyokusen means that a big part of the clock. The line tells the hours of time: every segment lit from the curve shows an hour. Circular Array light minutes. But here’s the twist: every point on the outer ring is 5 minutes, and 4 points in 1 minute each. So, look to the left shows 10: 24.

Twelve 5-9 Q version

This hour plasticity cool with “biomechanical” the form of hours has the effect of surging contoured. Peering through the small strip of five is a 26 LED multi-color very bright light. As the name suggests, this clock uses the method 12-5-9 (12 hours, 5 minutes, 10 minutes single) to tell the time. Moving clockwise, the first two lines of the LEDS indicate hours. The next line is up to 50 minutes, with each lit LED display 10 minutes. The last two lines is one minute, with one LED for every minute.

So how does guys, do you want to own and collect various clocks with unique design? It is quite difficult to read, but this is a very classy watch for those of you who want to appear different 😆
