A few weeks ago I was buying a six-pack of Red Bull for my aunt, and since I'm not a huge soda fan, I was taking a minute to peruse the beverage aisle of my local grocery store to see what newcomers have arrived in the world of pop. My former favorites were there, such as Pepsi, Coke, Barq's, and 7-Up. But the selection of new sodas on the market was staggering.
Did you know that Mountain Dew is now making a breakfast soda? That Pepsi has created "Pepsi Max," which contains ginseng and even more caffeine that a regular cola? And that there's a new brand of soda called Pussy Pop?
Wait, what? Yes, you heard me. Pussy Pop.
I stopped to look again, and sure enough, the can said exactly what I thought it did. The name was followed by a catchy subtitle, describing the beverage as "a refreshing delicious drink for your cat." A quick flip of the can revealed a frightening list of ingredients that includes carbonated water, coconut extract, whey protein, caramel coloring, sugar, and three different kinds of meat-based flavorings.
So, I bought a can. What else was I supposed to do? Then, like a good little blogger, I came home and started to research my bizarre find. Pussy Pop is indeed meant for cats, but I discovered that there is an actual human market for this stuff. Meaning, people drink it.
