What wrong could happen?

@freemo

They got their senses mixed up. It should come with nanobots in the fluid that have tiny built-in iPods that constantly play the jingle for the company's product.

@Pat

You are thinking of Apple brand ear drops. They cost $1000 but its a bargain considering how user friendly they are.

@freemo

Well, they can't get a patent on it now... the idea is in the public domain now!

How about a genetically engineered virus that goes into the infected person's brain and attaches to the cochlear nerve and constantly plays commercials. The company that engineers the virus sells ad space to the highest bidder.

Capitalism at it's best!

@freemo My guess is that they make it taste *bad* so that if a little kid gets a hold of the bottle and starts trying to drink from it, they'll get disgusted and stop, saving them from getting an upset tummy or worse.

@bii perhaps, though that is usually labeled differently. I've seen ingredients on denatured products but never seen it labeled as flavor. But you could be right.

@freemo Just a thought because I remembered learning about how antifreeze normally tastes sweet, so makers have to add a bittering agent to it.

@bii Yea, though in this case it wouldnt even be poisonous if you did drink it. Would make you puke though.
