I don't expect this to last long, it'll probably just be a 404 by the end of the day. It's nice to see that Google has a sense of humour, displayed in all it's glory here:

Heh heh heh. I expect they'll have more than a few confused users, lol!

2. Wait – you're saying Auto-Drink™ changes my brain chemistry?

Um, yeah – but for the better.


Maybe I should force feed this stuff to my school. xD Too bad it is only a dream that won't be realized.

The molecular compound that fuels Google Gulp speeds up this process by, among various startling feats of neurochemical legerdemain, limiting the activity of the enzyme monoamine oxidase.

You just *might* want to be careful what you consume after downing a bottle of an MAOI.

Excellent april fool's joke, the FAQ page was especially funny. I'd probably be either excited or terrified (or both) if it were real though.

Google: This drink could either exponentially increase your thinking power, or it could kill you.
Me: Increase my killing power eh? Let's do it.


Yeah oracleguy, some of those are pretty funny.

I found the Skeptic's Dictionary front page (http://www.skepdic.com/) hilarious, I've actually saved it to my computer before it gets taken down.

What was also funny was the April Fool's GMail site. Not sure where/if they still have it up though.
