The Top Ten Weird and Bizarre Chinese Soft Drinks

[Electric Monk]

Though Japan is infamous (and rightly so) for its weird and bizarre soft drinks, China is quickly narrowing the gag gap with its own unique canned & bottled horrors. These ten terrifying tipples may not be available in your local supermarket unless you've been Shanghai'd, so to speak, but that's a GOOD thing. Just consider yourself lucky China doesn't export everything they make.

Bizarre Drink #4) Baby Mice Wine: Slip Me a Mickey!


Hey bartender, can I have another glass of that delicious Ice Wine, but without the tequila worm this ti... what? WHAT??? After they had cleared the bar and hosed down the walls (and patrons), I paid a small fine and took a closer look at Baby Mice Wine, the drink that comes in on tiny little feet and leaves you feeling not quite all rat.

Supposedly, newborn mice are dropped into a bottle of wine where they quickly drown – actually, I can think of a few worse ways to go. The drink is made and sold in China and Korea where it's said to be a miraculous cure-all for all sorts of ailments. Try selling it here and you'll have Bob & Doug McKenzie wannabes taking bottles back to the LCBO in an attempt to score a whole non-mouse-infused case. Take off, eh!

2. This DOES, however, make me wonder about the first person to eat an oyster.

3. The one with the mice is definitely the drink winner!

The rest of them are pretty odd, as well, though. "Jew's Ear" drink? Asparagus juice?

I'll have a glass of water.

4. I will pass...

Just give me a bottle of SAKE to make me forget about looking at this!
