Mr. Sluggo is actually a chunk of mold I discovered floating in
the bottom of a Snapple bottle.
Apparently, when the bottle was filled at the factory, the cap
wasn't screwed on correctly. This allowed air to seep in
promoting mold growth.
A Snapple rep. assured me the soft drink was completely safe
and that this "Happens all the time." But I chose to keep it as a
pet rather than enjoying it as a slimy, yet refreshing drink.
I bought Mr. Sluggo at a Houston area RaceTrac convenience
store 80 months ago.
UPDATE - 5-11-2005 Mr. Sluggo still sits in our bedroom window,
but the web cam hasn't worked in years. If you have a sluggo, send me a link to the picture
and story and I'll post it!
