i wonder who put that there...
Funny story: I came home from primary school one day, and I was so thirsty I just grabbed a bottle of what I thought was diluted cordial* and chugged it straight from the bottle. A lot of it had made it into my mouth before I realised it was something else entirely, and I immediately spat it all out. Turns out I had just chugged a bottle of cooking oil. Bleh!

Not sure what this would be called in other countries. I suppose it's like Tang in the US but in liquid form, which you then have to dilute with water before drinking.
