Unique, say, like the Sourtoe Cocktail of Dawson, Canada



Here’s how it’s made: Choose a drink, any drink, and the bartender at this establishment will add one severed toe to your drink. Yes, that’s right, I said severed toe. A severed human toe will be added to your drink. They keep said toes stored in salt when they aren’t being used to garnish drinks. In order to gain acceptance into the Sourtoe Cocktail Club, you must drink your drink, and your lips must touch the toe.

Those crazy canucks.

I've actually heard about this--apparently people actually swish the toe around in their mouths to prove themselves. The toe, btw, was lost due to frostbite. So not only is it a severed toe, it's a gangrenous severed toe that is weeell past it's best before date.

Thanks but no thanks!

I've only had two of the substances on the list: Kava, and Grappa. Kava (now prohibited in Canada) is pretty cool--Grappa tastes like turpentine.

Also on the subject of drinks.

Here's a CNN video on the beers that people are drinking in New Hampshire. No wonder so many of them are going to vote for Romney when you hear what they are supping.
