FAQ
Is this real?
Yes. I am, in earnest, trying to industrially produce urine-flavored mouthwash.
What the hell is wrong with you?
I’m not sure. I’ve always had a penchant for parodying the commercial in a unique way. See some previous works at www.andyzou.com.
What is in it?
The recipe I prototyped is 2% urea by mass, 1% Hydrogen Peroxide, some salt, and distilled water. Carbamide Peroxide is an adduct of Urea and Hydrogen Peroxide, and approximately matches those ratios, so I looked into a recipe of approximately 3% Carbamide Peroxide.
How did you come up with this?
Well, I was joking around with a girl I liked about drinking piss, and came upon the not-so-new joke about PISSTERINE™. Fortunately, she dared me to buy the URL, and it all snowballed from there. Once I saw that a handful had made the joke, but none had even mocked up an image of the product, I knew I had something I could make. The LLC and the trademark application followed soon after.
How far are you going to go with this?
I’m not sure! I have ideas about alternate flavors, products, or just branching off into other novelty items. I’d love to retire and send my kids to college on Pissterine™
Are you afraid of getting sued?
Kind of! I think it might be exciting to square up against Johnson & Johnson. I’ve consulted with some lawyer friends on how to dot my i’s and cross my t’s in terms of protecting my personal liability.
