    Let's just hope they don't release a version that's colored brown.

    Does anyone remember that cheesy infomercial from maybe ten years ago, where you would shoot Oxygen from a can into your drink, and it was supposed to help you exercise better?

    @GitEmSteveDave_Doesn'tAddFees: A failed early prototype of this—a combination carbonator and butt plug—was to have been marketed as "The OxiColonClean".

    @nbolmer: From [www.tnellen.com] "Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy.
    Thus an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning."
    This is clearly a representation of man's ongoing struggle against flat, boring drinks. As if to say that the "soul" of any drink is its ability to bring a refreshing tingle to mouth of the consumer. There is, of course, the opposite dogmatic belief held by purists that carbonation is the work of evil "spirits" that detract from the nature of water in its original state, and any added color, flavor or effervescence is an affront to God.


    ...or Jesus misused the word Allegorical.

    @DeusExMach will still be strong after the boys...: The latter inspired my response, but the former made my day. Even my cat laughed, and she is difficult to amuse.
    @Gann: that would merely make it a visual metaphor, not really an allegory. Editor was overzealous with his word of the day calendar.

    I learnt that Russians drink carbonated water instead of regular water during soccer games. They would love this.

    @valkilmerisawful: We drink carbonated water... any time we want to drink. Personally, it takes me 3 glasses of regular water to relieve thirst, whereas only 1.5 glasses of "mit gasse" to quench the thirst. Save the planet's fresh water resources - give russians some C0 cartridges.

    This reminds me of a homeless lady I recently saw smoking and blowing bubbles. She was hopelessly trying to get the smoke into the bubbles but as entertained as she was I was just as interested in watching her succeed. In the end it was just another failure for her.

    @The Analrapist: No.. I guess I should have elaborated.. The fun of bubble blowing transcends class bringing out the kid in you. That's why I was entertained. I wanted her to be able to do it. But in the end harsh reality set back in and I saw the sad adult again. It wasn't funny.
