So, take a quick hop to the website printed on the edge of the twist-off cap:

Sounds like an Orbital CD.

Well, this looks promising. Netscape=FoRKed, Explorer=Screwed. Since I have
no intention of trying to make I.E. run on my Alpha, I'll have to take the
FoRK-fork, and miss out on all the lovely ActiveVirus-qua-bell&whistle junk.
Alas, the site is a bizarre wasteland. Almost as bad as something I would come
up with. A bunch of stream-of-consciousness blather. "Colander of Events" was
a mildly amusing bit-twiddle, but the rest is fairly boring. And not a single
picture of the product anywhere. Well, there are a few well-hidden ones, but
nothing eye-catching like an animation of the globules floating in the bottle.
They at least had a page of negative mail, including one from "Fawn":

Not our Fawn, who lacks the 3 mothers required to make one of them dearest.
