    There’s an urban legend about animators at Pixar pranking Listerine executives while making a commercial. They filled one of the bottles with apple juice and made $20 bets to drink it. Supposedly one of the reps watching it being chugged went running for the bathroom to throw up.

        The original version is amber colored like urine apple juice.

          Oh I’ve never seen that. Wonder if they changed it to make it look less palatable.

            No, I think it’s because blue is associated with cooling. The blue is mint flavored, the yellow very much isnt

          If your pee is this color, drink more water. This is not a good color.

          I didn’t even know this existed until a few years ago. The original version isn’t sold in my country, even though there are like 10 different varieties of Listerine available in stores.

          Yeah apparently used to be golden colored. Which I’m surprised by because I was always under the impression that companies were required by law to make non-edible liquids, such as disinfectants, look unpalatable. Perhaps that’s just an EU thing.

          (seems weird to say edible liquid but I don’t know how else to articulate it)

      Listerine execs were two steps ahead and replaced the apple juice with urine.
