Liquid Death announced yesterday that they’re selling limited-edition iced tea cans containing Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA… so people can attempt to clone him. And if that didn’t sound crazy enough - the cans have already sold out.
Yep - we may not have GTA 6 yet, but cloning Ozzy Osbourne with iced-tea? We’re pretty much halfway there.
Known for its irreverent marketing and its popular line of canned water, sparkling water, iced teas and drink mixes, Liquid Death offered a truly unique collector’s item: ‘Infinite Ozzy.’
And it truly was limited-edition, with only 10 cans of the DNA-laced iced-tea up for sale. Each can was personally consumed by Ozzy, then resealed to preserve the remaining DNA.
“Clone me, you bastards,” says Ozzy.
To sweeten the deal, each can is autographed by The Prince of Darkness, which is pretty cool. But the price? $450.
The cans were available on Liquid Death’s official website, which states, "Ozzy Osbourne is 1 of 1. But we’re selling his actual DNA so you can recycle him forever."
And the cans didn’t last long, with all ten being snatched up within the day.
"Yes, we really got the Prince of Darkness to drink from 10 cans of our low-calorie Iced Tea. And yes, he actually crushed each can himself," says an official description.
"In the process, he left behind trace DNA from his saliva that you can now own. He even hand-signed each packaging label."
Reactions online about the limited-edition product were predictably unhinged. “Finally, a way to summon Ozzy at home,” one fan joked on Twitter. Another asked the real question: “If I drink this, do I get his accent?
