FANCY A DRINK OF MEAT?

Thirsty? How about a nice cool drink of MeatWater™?

Doesn't sound appetising? Perhaps you haven't checked out some of the flavours - Wiener Schnitzel, Hot Dog, Hungarian Gulash and Escargot.

It may sound yucky, but MeatWater looks set to be the latest must-have style beverage launched to a world that demands drinks become ever more exciting.

Described by its American makers as a 'High Efficiency Survival Beverage', the drink is aimed at those who would ordinarily quaff protein shakes, energy drinks, or chomp powerbars, which are, as the firm notes, "all ways people seek to get nutrients without spending all the time that eating requires".

The company does describe the idea of a meaty-dinner-in-a-bottle as "pretty gross by most objective standards of taste", no surprise when the label lists the quantity of blood, cartilage and fat in each serving.

It also looks as if the makers will have to overcome a few obstacles before you'll find a healthy glug of 'Italian Sausage' or 'Beef Stroganof' on the shelves.

"So far we can only offer our beverage at special events where a company representative has to be present," says company spokesman Till Krautkrämer.

As for the price? Till says it will be "overpriced as it should be".
