There is Healthcare
marketing and then there’s Alcohol marketing. Conventionally, you would thing
the two would never meet, right? Well, apparently not so…
I’m still reeling from
having stumbled upon this product. Welcome to the bizarre world of Anti-AGin –
a young in spirit Gin that is touted to reverse the aging process even as you
enjoy your tipple! The strap-line for the product actually says, “Rejuvenates
your skin, while you drink.”
The primary ingredient is
collagen and this gin happens to be distilled with it. That’s not all though!
The Anti-AGin also contains Chamomile, Tea Tree and other such ingredients
which are usually used to preserve younger-looking skin. The product is
available here, but always seem to be out
of stock. However, for the relatively moderate price of 35 Pounds, you can
preserve your youthful-looking skin. Or enjoy an interesting botanicals-flavored
Gin in the bargain!
If that wasn’t weird enough
for you this next item will surely tipple your fancy. The Clermont-Ferrand
University hospital – a hospital about 290 miles south of Paris – opened a wine
bar for terminally-ill patients in its palliative care division. (Where else
but in France, right?)
The reason wasn’t
difficult to fathom. Terminally-ill patients tend to get depressed, and what better
way to help them deal with their depression than by allowing them to enjoy a
glass of wine in the otherwise sterile surroundings of a hospital! I’ll raise
three cheers to that!
