Soon India will get a brand new soft drink made from cow urine. What? Did I said cow urine? Yes, it is cow urine and in fact the product is in it's final stage of development. Thanks to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group of India, who is behind this initiative.
According to the head of Cow Protection Department of RSS, Om Prakash, the drink - called "gau jal" or "cow water" - was undergoing lab tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year". The drink won't smell like urine and will be tasty too. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins," Mr Prakash added.
Cow and bull worship was a common practice among Hindus and slaughtering them is illegal in most parts of India. The cow urine drink is the latest attempt by the RSS to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its Hindu ideology. RSS claims that cow urine can cure ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer.
So, what you think about this exotic soft drink? It really sounds weird, but I am sure that many people will actually drink it. Many people will drink it, as it will be branded as a "Hindu" product.

I know this is very ethnocentric for me to say but...um, yuck.
Say whaaattt??? Wow! I'd have never thought of that! LOL!
I tell you, though, that's one drink that won't take off here in the US where I live. Where we come from, pee is PEE.... and you don't ever think of it as a soft drink! ;)
Its not okay to eat beef, but its okay to drink cow pee?
Now I'm confused....
it is not matter of religion cow milk is life giving
cow urine is life giver use it and try it.
Too bad Mello Yellow was already taken for a product name.
What people don't realize is urine is sterile; and since "real" cows graze grass, cow urine should be healthy. Just as we drink cow's milk, why not drink cow urine? I heard cow urine has medicinal properties and kills cancer cells. Where can I get some of this cow water? I know a couple of people who need to get rid of their cancer cells.
