Weeding out the squeamish
Not me but a friend of mine had a great way of weeding out squeamish types in his chosen profession (hospital biochemist). If he was conducting a lab tour of studenty types he'd take some cloudy lemonade and a microwaved mars bar and blend them together in a beaker beforehand. As this was a hospital biochemistry lab there were many types of tests done on all sorts of human excretions, jars of piss, blood, shit etc.

SO! when the studenty types came round he'd announce that he was going to test the contents of aforementioned beaker for PKU (phenylketonuria, no I don't know what it is either). The contents looked just like frothy shit.

He drank it.



Anyone who barfed was not considered good biochemist material.

He's claiming to test for ketones in the 'urine'.
A sign of diabetes.

A fine prank on the pranker for actual cases of this urban legend
would be to swap his beaker of lemonade and mars bar with an ACTUAL beaker of piss and shit.

How we would larf.

PKU
People with this disorder cannot digest phenylalanine. If this amino acid builds up in the body, it causes mental retardation. Which is why you will see "contains a sauce of phenylalanine" on food wrappers.
