[QUOTE]It has emerged that Kumbuka, the gorilla that escaped from its enclosure at London Zoo, drank five litres (nine pints) of undiluted blackcurrant squash before being tranquillised. What impact would this have had on his health, asks Harry Low.
The western lowland silverback left his den through an unlocked door and entered the zookeepers' enclosure, where he seized his chance to drink something sweet - lots of it.
He would have been more familiar with the diluted version of the drink, which forms part of the gorillas' daily diet, according to a spokeswoman for the zoo, along with cold fruit tea and leafy greens such as cabbage and kale. They are also fed other fresh vegetables including broccoli, carrots and cucumber.
Gorillas have quite large stomachs so this epic helping of concentrated squash could have caused severe stomach pains and diarrhoea, according to Prof Phyllis Lee, a primatologist at the University of Stirling.
"Five litres is quite a lot for a gorilla to consume in one go but given a gorilla's manual dexterity, I would assume that some would have been spilled," she says.
"He must have found it and taken his opportunity, similar to how a four-year-old child would."
Lee added that she would expect the squash to affect the consistency of Kumbuka's poo rather than its colour - even in the case of blackcurrant - though she added that she had not studied the matter closely.[/QUOTE]
When I was 5 I poured a bottle Ribena and orange juice into one of those small plastic sand buckets you find at a sea-side town like Margate or Blackpool.
My mum said that my last words before drinking it where something like "this is a good idea because I like both!"
Two bottles of undiluted fruit juice one which is basically pure Suger was not my proudest moment.
I still remember it tasting horrible
I'm slightly curious as to who makes 5l bottles of undiluted squash
still props to him
Fucking innit mate, he's a proper leg that one!
He's gonna be off his fuckin' nut.
Sounds like part of a sequel to 'The Tiger Who Came Round For Tea'.
Crikey wat a twat, musta been off his rocker this.

Pretty much any supermarket or bulk retailer sells them, I've seen 5L bottles everywhere before, even Ribena does them.
have mixed undiluted robinsons with vodka before in desperate times and the robinsons becomes worse than the vodka. gorillas a champ
[QUOTE=Clovis;51234281]i actually feel sorry for it, the burning stomach that would ensue after that sugar would fucking suck[/QUOTE]
But imagine the sugar rush.

No need to tranquilize him with the crash he probably had afterwards.
I've drank 1L before as I lost a drinking game before a night out. I never got out the door, just laid in the kitchen holding my stomach

Yeah, as an American this thread confused me. Thought he somehow drank squashes.

You dilute it with water heavily (like 5 to 1?) because its sugary and strong as fuck otherwise[/QUOTE]
