Slangder #7: What is Petrohol?

This disgusting shit is petrohol.

We have no idea who came up with the clumsily named petrohol so we’ll just blame Cassidy for it. Apparently it’s a cross between fermented petrol which is scientifically impossible and anhydrous ethanol which would kill a dinosaur. There is also some fictitious mutant insect that’s added during the brewing process. This insect provides two necessary cmponents:

  • It tastes sour thus making petrohol palatable
  • It adds a wonky stimulant effect which tends to make the drinker paranoid

The notes we’ve found state that petrohol is widely popular throughout the Cyberia Universe; especially in the Boondocks where everyone is financially ruined. But it’s also popular across Cyberia as one glass gets you wired for 12 hours. A second glass promises several nights of chaos with no guarantee that you’ll wakeup.

So that’s petrohol covered. I wonder what the preferred tipple is for those ridiculous metropunks

A nice glass of Neon Cock Tail. How predictable.

We also found this image in the same file. On the back somebody has listed the ingredients:

  • A worm [that supposedly looks like some kind of tail]
  • Baby cockroaches
  • Wild nettles harvested at the Boondocks
  • Synthetic turnip
  • Synthetic roast beef
  • Synthetic umami injection
  • Mature dog urine
  • Multivitamin shot
  • Ethanol

As with pretty much everything to do with Cyberia, we don’t know if the author is trying to be funny or deadly serious. Either way I don’t think the Give Me Head team would’ve been able to tell.
