Step 7Tastes like DNA!
MMMM - Can you taste the DNA ?
I decided to drink my DNA shot. I thought my body might resent the fact I had taken some of its DNA - the blueprint and program that defined how it grew into what it is today - and not shared any with it. Also, I wanted to see if my DNA had a particular taste.
Results: the DNA shot tastes like very potent, cheap rum. But it was one of the best drinks I can remember making.
Safety Note: be sure you are using consumable alcohol bought from a liquor store - anything else will poison you. Be safe, and think twice before you mindlessly follow directions.
