Quench your thirst for knowledge.

At Google our mission is to organize the world's information and make it useful
and accessible to our users. But any piece of information's usefulness
derives, to a depressing degree, from the cognitive ability of the user who's
using it. That's why we're pleased to announce Google Gulp (BETA)™ with
Auto-Drink™ (LIMITED RELEASE), a line of "smart drinks" designed to maximize
your surfing efficiency by making you more intelligent, and less thirsty.

How to get Gulped?

You can pick up your own supply of this "limited release" product simply by
turning in a used Gulp Cap at your local grocery store. How to get a Gulp
Cap? Well, if you know someone who's already been "gulped," they can give
you one. And if you don't know anyone who can give you one, don't worry –
that just means you aren't cool. But very, very (very!) soon, you will be.

-{ Quote: "11. When will you take Google Gulp out of beta?

Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? Besides, what's so great about taking things out of beta? It ruins all the romance, the challenge, the possibilities, the right to explore. Carpe diem, ya know? Maybe we're jaded, but we've seen all these other companies leap headlong into 1.0, thinking their product is exactly what they've been dreaming of all their lives, that everything is perfect and hunky-dory – and the next thing you know some vanilla copycat release from Redmond is kicking their butt, the Board is holding emergency meetings and the CEO is on CNBC blathering sweatily about "a new direction" and "getting back to basics." No thanks, man. We like our freedom. " }-
