Can anyone do any better?

1/4 pint of vimto added to 3/4 pint of vodka

I do enjoy a Cheeky Vimto, but as that doesn't actually contain any Vimto I don't think it counts.

I was put off Vimto when someone pointed out it was an anagram of vomit.

Would you still eat cold pies if you knew they were made out of Oldspice?

I don't really eat pies - especially not cold ones. I hate pork pies espcially. Years and years ago, the company I worked for sold what was called Tongue Sausage. It used to be sold in slices from the deli counter. One day I noticed the contents stamped on the outside wrapper: Contains: blood, fat, tongue.

YUk. I don't like pies.
