On first read, I thought it said "Metawater," and I assumed it was what one was left with after straining regular water through MetaFilter. posted by Kibbutz at 1:38 PM on May 8, 2008 [8 favorites]

To be truly high efficiency, you would need to add some carbs; perhaps a little flour or corn starch. Also some fat, for a lot of calories in just a little space. Butter, bacon fat or just the drippings off of that roast you cooked last night would work. Voila! Anything else is just broth. posted by TedW at 1:41 PM on May 8, 2008
I, too, read that as "Metawater."
High efficiency survival, indeed! posted by owtytrof at 1:42 PM on May 8, 2008
Who the hell wastes bacon (or bacon flavor) on pets? That's just shameful. posted by Pollomacho at 1:43 PM on May 8, 2008
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not consuming anything called "meatwater". posted by psmealey at 1:45 PM on May 8, 2008
I'm torn here. Bacon water? Yes. Yes, oh yes. Bottled water for pets who will happily drink from toilets, puddles, and swimming pools? This is why I hate the world. posted by uncleozzy at 1:46 PM on May 8, 2008
Who was it that said they used to get out of chores as a kid (picking up dog poop) by dabbing bacon grease on it? Just a joke I'm sure but still...ew. posted by crapmatic at 1:47 PM on May 8, 2008

I like meat. I also like consuming lots of liquid. That said, I think I'd prefer them to remain separate. posted by Inspector.Gadget at 2:02 PM on May 8, 2008

That's not vomit; it's MEATWATER posted by psmealey at 2:20 PM on May 8, 2008

It says right on the first link that it's a photographer's marketing "leave behind". Yes, it's a joke.
That said, I too read it as "metawater", but my first question was "it's what water drinks?" posted by rokusan at 3:38 PM on May 8, 2008

Speaking of meatwater, I just filtered my first batch of bacon-vodka last night.
I can confirm that is indeed a breakfast of champions. posted by pantsrobot at 3:58 PM on May 8, 2008

I'm concerned with how many of these are blue or green. I'm not OK with hypothetical meat water being blue or green.. or or how the Tandoori Chicken is pink instead of orange or red. posted by Lizc at 5:12 PM on May 8, 2008

It's weird, but I bet it'd make one hell of an interesting and possibly delicious Caesar. Cocktail+meatwater=COKCMEAT! (or, alternately, TAILWATER) posted by stavrosthewonderchicken at 11:11 PM on May 8, 2008
