India's Hindu nationalist movement is launching a new soft drink made from cow urine.

The bovine brew is in the final stages of development by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), India's biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, according to the man who makes it.

Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink — called "gau jal," or "cow water" — in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year."

"Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too," he told the Times of London from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins."

The drink is the latest attempt by the RSS – which was founded in 1925 and now claims 8 million members – to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its ideology of Hindutva, or Hindu-ness.

Its all just culture man, and when you compare two that have evolved as far apart as ours and theirs... shits gonna seam weird some times.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'd better keep an eye on the ingredients at my favorite Indian joints...

"Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins."
Well.....if you say so

Also, wasn't there something about Red Bull and how they had piss or something like that in it, or was that just an urban legend

I suppose that would be like a lot of God/Jesus followers wanting to drink their piss. ?. Dont they consider the cow sacred or is that another country?

also, I think the Red Bull one is an urban legend. Still not sure what Taurine is though

Nah after some reading on wiki, Taurine is something that can be extracted from the Bile of Bulls, hence why they call the drink Red Bull. But, the one that's used in RB is synthesised, so no Bulls are used whatsoever.

Taurine is a naturally occurring organic acid in the human body and is also present in foods like poultry, fish, and scallops. In addition to being an antioxidant, it is mainly used by the body during physical exertion and stress.[2] In its natural form, taurine is derived from animal tissue, having been first isolated from bull (Bos taurus) bile, hence the name "Red Bull"; however, the taurine used in the Red Bull drink is produced synthetically.
