When I was 3 years old my best friend and I would sit in the grass behind his house, overlooking a pasture with grazing cows, and drink from our juice bottles. He told me that the foam resulting from our shaking the bottles was cow dung that somehow magically transported itself into the bottle. I don't know about him but I believed it. Oddly enough, it didn't discourage me from drinking it. On the contrary, we both thought it was really cool!
