Muggle Juice?
I sure hope that's not like Soylent Green.
I was just listening to the podcast, X Minus One, Episode 96, when one of the story characters orders Muggle Juice. He also ordered a Sloofa sirloin steak. Go figure.
X Minus One is a great podcast of old radio episodes from an NBC show of the same name that aired in th3 1950's. There are some real jewels in there from classic authors. There are some episodes that are, well, pulp, too. Ep. 96 is corny, with a "truth in advertising and love wins out" message about mail order brides, "The Girls From Earth." But in other episodes, you get clear glimpses of things that influenced later TV and movies in science fiction. (I'd need to re-listen, but a couple had me thinking of Firefly, Star Trek, and so on.) Overall, this is great listening for any sci-fi fan.
I had to share the laugh when I heard the Muggle Juice line, though.
