CULTURE: Bartender give me another one of those green drinks

During a routine health inspection of a restraunt in Lima, Peru officals there found that the owners were taking the long held pasttime of inventing new drinks to a new level

When the fridge of the establishment was opened and its occupants began hopping about Peruvian officials stepped in and saved some 4,000 endangered frogs from being whizzed into popular drinks

Frog cocktails are popular in the Andes because of their supposed aphrodisiac qualities. Shops in central Lima selling the drinks have tanks where customers can choose their frogs.

I guess it isn't that much different than selecting your Lobster at the store or restraunt. Except for the whole frog blended into a drink thing.

Um....


Ew.

Hey, why not? Except for the endangered part, that is.

Being endangered just makes them taste better.

Hm.

I picked up a frog once. It pissed all over the front of my pants and it STUNK. I don't know what that sucker was eating...

Think I'll keep my blender froggy free regardless of whether or not it gets women hot. That's what gerbil soup is for, no?

Hey, these aren't those hallucinogenic-type frogs are they? That would actually make sense. Still disgusting, though.

They should stick to throwing a few 'shrooms into a smoothie like my friend Alan.

I've heard of licking a frog before to get some type of buzz, but I don't think I'd want him blended up into my drink. Especially since they're really cute.

Toads, and only specific sorts, crushed up and stewed into a sort of tea if I remember correctly. You're just as likely to poison yourself, or just get a mouth full of frog slime if you do it wrong. Remember, kids. Before you go licking toads, ask Uncle Internet for the proper species and preparation procedure. And then go get a damned smoothy and forget the whole thing.

where the hell do you source 5,000 tropical frogs to blend into drinks anyway?

bet they make a crunchy drink too.

I'd take my chances with viagra before I'd try pureed Kermit.

And yes, I am a girl.

mmm....frogbombs

I repeat: People are FUCKING (soulless, hedonistic) idiots...

FROG SMOOTHIE!!!

Hey, let's go to a rave and snort whitening toothpaste just to see what that does to us! (It's too bad that this pointless experimentation with random chemicals doesn't wander into more lethal territory, it would make thinning the herd much easier...)

Did anyone see the Family Guy episode, when a Colombian drug cartel's plane crashes, releases all these frogs with hallucinogenic properties, and the kids at highschool all start licking them? Hillarious!

man, why do the french always have to fuck up our alcoholic beverages...okay, I guess they didn't fuck up wine...but damn them and their frogs...

Why does this remind me of the crunchy frog sketch from Monty Python? What else do they serve, Ram's Bladder Schnapps? Cockroach Cocktails?

I'm willing to bet the drink is garnished with lark's vomit too.
