Eff that pansy Taurine and Caffiene nonsense. Here in California, we expect something a bit stronger to get us through the daily grind:

Rocket fuel found in milk in California

A toxic chemical in rocket fuel has been detected in California’s milk supply, although environmentalists and toxicologists disagree over whether the levels are high enough to pose a health threat to infants and young children.

Tests by the California Department of Food and Agriculture found perchlorate, a rocket fuel component widely used by the defense industry, in 32 samples of milk taken from Alameda, San Joaquin and Sacramento counties, according to a report released today by an environmental watchdog group.

California: so hard that our milk comes with octane ratings.

    Heh, yeah, I read that a few days ago and went apeshit. My favorite quotes are the scientists who say “well, the levels of rocket fuel in the milk are so low as to be insignificant” or some such nonsense. Like I want any rocket fuel in my goddamn milk.

    Assholes.
