I thought TikTok was Chiinese?

In response to one 2015 article in The New York Times, third-party commenters compared baijiu's aroma and taste profile to "jet fuel, kerosene, poison, nail polish remover, drain cleaner, Burgundy cheeses, and salty garbage water"

Let's keep these Darwin Awards coming, shall we?

This is one way to deal with planetary overpopulation.

When we're talking in terms of the self-selecting group, it's essentially the only positive feature of social media.

Kind of reminds me of the kid who licked the toilet bowl then got Covid.

This stuff sounds awful, anyone actually know from experience drinking it? It sounds like something concocted to treat an infected wound or kill bacteria vs actually consuming.

R5 / R8 You're a bit off in the Darwin knowledge

But yes, if we could increase the amount of 'influencers' taking this same path, it would be nice.

^ then he was an old dumb ass. Milennials are old now and one would expect they'd have outgrown extreme dumb shit. This guy's just too stupid to live.

It's Darwinian in that traits (lack of judgment, suicidal and/or narcissistic tendencies) from whatever sources that self-select themselves out of progenitive continuance tend toward lower or no representation in a population over time.

Unfortunately he is not the first idiot to die from alcohol poisoning.

R12 I have. Baiju smells like paint thinner and tastes like vodka that's been flavored with rusty nails.

R23 Thank you. Ringing endorsement if I've ever heard one. Thanks! Still thinking it wasn't designed to be an antiseptic vs a drinking it. Unless the idea was to make someone purge.

^was designed as an antiseptic vs drink.

Sounds like it's China's version of Takaa vodka. Talk about lighter fluid.

I actually drank this shit for a time when I was living in my car because it was cheap as hell and got the job done.

You lost me at social media influencer

It’s like overproofed vodka flavored with dirty socks and the aroma of paint thinner. It’s meant to be drunk by the thimbleful, not bottles of it.

Is that like reading from the book of the dead?

Let's make this a trend among influences. We can thin the herd.

Did he win his category in this year's televised Darwin Awards ceremony?
