The Japanese liquor, Mam, uses venomous snakes as one of its main ingredients.

Funny, in the US we use mj for medicinal purposes. Yet in Nepal, cow dung is used for medicinal purposes. Go figure.

Did you know that liquid Tide laundry detergent glows under a blacklight?

Not so! Mythbusters confirmed it with a gigantic sheet of paper in an airplane hangar. Can't be done. They even used heavy machinery and still, no dice.
