The Cosmic Bubble Bath or what we call the Universe is frothing over with thrilling, mind-altering drink concoctions, many with potentially hazardous side-effects. Here is a sample of what can be found at a bar near you:
Oogablaster, a frothy glass full of orange bubbles and no liquid. The overpowering sweetness renders the drinker dizzy like on a ship in stormy seas. A well-made Oogablaster is stirred for 11 hours, the same amount of time it takes for an Ooga female to give birth. Her mate prepares drinks, stirring them until the babies are born. Being that the women are 10 times the size of men, this tradition was begun by a man who didn't want to die during childbirth as was the ancient custom.
Hot Spiked Antifreeze Cider, a cocktail of ingredients for enduring cold beyond what a robot was designed to endure. The spiced cider gives it that festive taste to liven spirits, antifreeze helps prevent slow thinking and joint freezing, the strong alcohol content helps numb any cramping that may occur in spite of the antifreeze. Dex drinks one of these in anticipation of a cold reception on Yeggerwold to ease his nerves.
Ground Pounder, an energy drink used by biological lifeforms and robots alike. This drink results in a surge of aggressive tendencies augmented by heightened levels of adrenaline resulting in euphoric beatings. This is the ultrabot drink of choice when preparing to deal an ultra beatdown of lesser lifeforms and early-model robots.
Galactic Supernova, this drink will blow your mind, literally. Siff orders one of these for Collin at the Thraxvue Cafe. Watching a Galactic Supernova is almost as interesting as drinking it, as a ball is dropped in water, there is a blinding flash followed by thick fog as it makes contact. Upon drinking, your mind turns instantly to
mush. You won't remember a thing for 24 hours and will have thoroughly soaked your clothes with drool.
Three-pump Twirfl syrup, blended ice, Blygian frosty with whip cream, a
special request by Siff after Dex is repaired. Like bubble tea or gourmet
coffee, Blygian frosties have endless variations to fit all tastes.
Coffee, the genetically engineered product of the Coffee Confederation.
This mild stimulant has spread throughout the CBB and is the largest
and most profitable venture in existance. Today, the Coffee Confederation
owns the most beautiful planet in the galaxy, full of the most expensive
and rare vegetation. You won't find a single coffee bean on the planet,
Kufu, corporate headquarters. It is a long held tradition that one doesn't
consume one's own merchandise.
Buda-Bomb, it puts you in total restful bliss for a short period of time.
Pooiefruit Smoothie, beware of this purple liquid. You'll remember where you were the day you tried it. The smallest sip of this drink sets off a violent chain reaction resulting in considerably lousy toilet time.
Googooberry Smoothie, a sweet and tart drink that can be highly addictive.
Cosmic Bubble Blast, this drink causes uncontrollable fits of laughter and lightens the spirits. It's the best possible cure for depression. Side effect, pink bubbles froth out from mouth and nose. Can be quite annoying for others in the room trying to avoid the bubbles and the bouncing-with-joy drinker.
Iced Coolant, the robot equivalent of iced tea. Consumed in generous
portions by robots on hot planets. Also is useful for calm in stressful
situations where the circuits are overheating due to stress. On Dex's world, robots preferred to laze around drinking this instead of actually working.
Oil-ade
