So have you heard the latest? Google introduced a new product today - the GoogleGulp. It's a drink that quenches your thirst for knowledge.
If you want to try the beverage you have to hurry because there are only a limited number of bottles available. You can pick up your own supply of the new Gulp drink simply by turning in a used Gulp Cap at your local grocery. Now, the question is how to come by a Gulp Cap. Here is the answer: You have to know somebody who's already been gulped, that means, somebody who has already managed to get hold of a Gulp drink. But what if you don't know anybody who has been gulped? Well, this simply means you aren't cool. If you like, we can provide you with names of people who have been gulped and are willing to share their used Gulp Caps. Just let us know...

Hmm, here in Switzerland you can buy all kinds of fancy drinks such as RedBull, FlyingHorse, Monster Assault, Full Throttle and many more. However, I have never seen a can labeled Google Gulp which makes me wonder if this is a real brand or just a gimmick. Also, this method of distribution you are mentioning sounds rather strange to me. Why would anybody take a cap of a used a can or bottle to their local supermarket? Have you ever seen something like this? But you may very well give us the names of people who have already purchased this suspicious Google Gulp and we will see what's behind this story!

Torsten, that was a good joke! I fell for it headfirst (or should I say 'I swallowed it'?). I was wondering what on earth all that was about until I read FrankU's hint. It's a pity you haven't been at it this year. Now we'll have to wait for the next April Fool's Day.

Did anyone see Google's other April Fool's joke, "Google Romance"? It was hilarious. The catch phrase was, "Finding a mate is really just a search problem..."
