Italy.
The place of love and beauty and all things absolutely wonderful...ahhh Italy.
You're forgetting one thing you're also responsible for Italy...
BEVERLY.
That's right. The Italian soda pop that you can try at Club Cool in Epcot that in a single shot can ruin your day and quite possibly permanently damage your taste buds.
We've all had that unsuspecting first taste test of all the different sodas from around the world, but once you get a swig of Beverly? It's Game Over from there.
Beverly, is described on the soda fountain as:
"Beverly, with it's bitter flavor is a popular non alcoholic apertif that stimulates the appetite before dinner."
The only thing I've ever seen Beverly stimulate, is someone's need to throw up. And bitter flavor is putting it delicately, it has been described as being comparable to battery acid.
But still...there is no greater feeling in the world than walking into Club Cool with a first timer, or in your eyes, an Unsuspecting Victim. You've gotta play it cool, or they're going to know something is up. Entice them to try Mexico or Japan (my personal favorite), and then tell them that Italy's Beverly? Is to die for.
And in retrospect...you're not entirely lying...you may die from it.
Once you watch a close friend of yours gag and choke and try to upchuck the shot they just consumed, now it's time for the real games to begin. Now it's time to make victims of perfect strangers.
I aim for kids with cool looking parents. Those are the best. Once parents catch you wink as you fill the cup up for their kids, they usually think it's hysterical.
So make a game of it. See how many strangers you can convince to try it, and then, see how many of them want to seek revenge on someone else as they go lurking around for a victim of their own. Beverly should really have a different description entirely:
Beverly: It's the worst liquid you could ever put in your body...but it's been bringing friends, families and perfect strangers together for years.
Cheers!
AWESOME!
