Anyone Thirsty?

in short-a man was drinking a bottle of Ora Fruit Punch-0ne of those "Herbal" supplement type health drinks-he found part of a human penis in his bottle of juice-

this isn't a joke, it isn't an urban legend-my husband is one of the people who covered the story-they've talked to the coroner and it's very real-

I'm not hot on a lot of those so called "Supplement" style drinks and things. I think there is a lot of possiblity for contamination, I remember the Odwalla fruit juice thing a few years back where a child died from Ecoli-

It seems to me that these so called "Natural" style food and drink products don't seem to be staying up to FDA standards-

I don't know-do you feel comfortable drinking/eating/taking things that you may not know are sanitary or whatever?

That's why you should buy a juicer and make your own if you want fresh juices. Be sure to read some juicer reviews before buying one though.

Just kidding.

I've heard of powdered rhino horn, tiger livers and bull penii in herbal stuff, but never part of a human penis. How in the world did that happen?

I don't feel "safe" eating some stuff in restaurants since I'm sure I am taking my health in my hands in some places. I try not to think about it, honestly. Yesterday I was at the park with my 2 year old and I had bought her some chicken nuggets and a carton of milk from Wendy's; deep fried, processed chicken full of trans-fatty acids and possibly worse, milk which is probably from hormone and antibiotic treated cows oozing pus from their udders. But what made it worse was someone let their dog poop next to the picnic table and covered it up with sand from the play area. My little one stepped in it and got poopy sand all over her feet. Then she tried to get it off her foot with one of her hands. I wiped her hand off with a napkin, then ran to get the diaper bag so I could use diaper wipes and hand sanitizer. There were no bathrooms at this park. When I was ready to wipe off her hand, I noticed she was holding her nugget with the napkin wiped dog poop hand. Ugh! Oh well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

New slogan:

"Ora Potency Fruit Punch - with extra Penis, for Potency (wink)!"

or

"Don't have a punch in your penis, have a penis in your punch!"

In many of these cases, odd things find their way into the drink AFTER it has been opened. Even if the man is a credible witness, he may have left the thing alone at some point.

Aside from that, he wanted a "natural" drink. Can it not be argued that a penis is quite natural?

Yep - so the drink still contains all natural ingredients.

I am just trying to figure out what it would feel like to find a penis in a drink. I cant imagine it. It just seems like it would be so obvious it was there. The article says it was 3" long - wouldnt you be aware of something that large floating around your drink? JP may have a point that someone added it after it was opened.

All I know, is no matter what I decide I am going to drink, I am thoroughly checking the bottles before I take a sip - and certainly will never leave it unattended.......LOL.

My husband actually talked to the poor guy who drank the drink-this guy is concidered a reliable guy-he didn't do it himself. they don't think that someone on his work site did it either-but they are not sure if it got in the drink in the factory or somewhere between the factory and when it was bought!

I have to wonder-where is the rest of this guy????

and I'm double checking all the seals on EVERY can/jar ect that I've got!

Forget the "natural." Just make sure you drink translucent stuff in clear containers.

Bleh.

an update-it wasn't a human penis-it was MOLD-which honestly-makes me more ILL-ick!

Apparently they found another bottle of this stuff with a cylinder object inside-so they sent it off for more indepth testing-and it's mold or bacteria-EWWWW

**hadassahchana**[$] · #8 10-04-2001, 06:59 PM

Uh, if I get to vote, I think I'll choose mold over a severed penis any day.

Of course, I plan on listening to Sara nag us about drinking water from now on!

**mtomm**[$] · #9 10-04-2001, 07:01 PM

So the mold was probably growing on something... please keep us updated on what that something turns out to be. Like you said I am not sure which is worse. But my husband claims his privates are VERY clean if that is any consolation. Personally, it doesn't do much for me, I'm not convinced.

Am I the only person who's wondering whether it might not be a bad idea to do some spot checks of the death certificates issued in that county (and by that coroner)?

Well, it sure looked like a dead body!

Maybe Scully and Mulder can hop over there and do some (figurative) digging?

I'd like to know whether that coroner was, as is fairly common in small towns, simply a politically appointed coroner rather than a medical examiner. Difference? A coroner may have NO medical training at all. When an actual autopsy is required in his jurisdiction he calls in a pathologist who does the autopsy. I'd bet that's what happened here -- he failed to make the phone call. He probably doesn't issue death certificates at all. He probably depends on physicians to do that. In other words, he's probably just a very embarrassed bureaucrat.

I hate to admit it, but I was reading another website that had a link to the object and it sure as heck looked like a shriveled, severed male member. Or at least what I would expect one to look like

**drmomentum**[$] · #13 10-04-2001, 10:30 PM

I saw the picture, and it could have easily been some kind of mold (or mushroom-like thing).

No matter what it looked like on the outside, it should have become obvious as soon as it was cut into. Sounds like the papers got hold of the story before someone with a clue had a chance to examine the thing.

JP-don't blame the press-they just reported exactly what the police and the coroner told them it was-so far as the press was concerened it was without a doubt a human penis.

okay, now where is the link to the picture or am I missing something?

I don't think I was blaming the press in my post just for getting there before anyone with a clue bothered to examine the item in more than a cursory fashion. They did their jobs.

JP-Sorry if I sounded rude!--one of the side effects of being married to someone who works in the press is that I am a bit sensitive about his job-he just does what he's told to do-like most of us-but in his line of work that opens up the floodgates occasionally for critisim and sheer weirdness. He has been chased, yelled at, threatened, flashed, followed and more-just because of what he does-

but it brings up an interesting point, the coroner SAID it was a Human Penis-now, should anything have been reported untils further tests were done? should the original reports have read "suspected human organ"

I'm wondering if this so called coroner will lose his/her job over this-that was a pretty big mistake-the fallout from this should be fairly interesting
