Every so often, we see round-ups of fictional drugs that appear in popular culture, and two amusing round-ups crossed our path recently that are worth noting. Flavorwire presented
"Amazed and Confused: The Best Fictional Drugs on TV," leading off with Teamocil from
Arrested Development (“There’s no ‘I’ in ‘Teamocil’ — at least not where you’d think"). Meanwhile, Unreality (via
Technoccult) presented
"The Most Memorable Fictional Drugs in Movies and Television," leading off with Neuroin ("a gaseous heroin") from
Minority Report. Some of the usual suspects are obviously on display (seems like you can't really have one of these lists without mentioning the spice from
Dune), and Gleemonex from
Brain Candy is curiously missing, but otherwise, these posts are a nice tour of the subject.
Also, cheesing may not be entirely fictional; [link]
But what came first here really, the South Park episode or the recreational use of cat urine, I'm not sure. But it does seem like people are trying it. A lot of the weird stuff on South Park is actually based on current events or recent developments.
