Zok Drink

In an infinite dimension comprised of infinite sub-dimensions of various infinite sizes populated by infinite beings, could any one thing truly be said to be the “most popular”?   According to ZokCo’s marketing department, Zok Drink might just be that thing.   And upon perusing the company’s quarterly reports, proudly displayed in glass cases across one whole wall of the lobby of their DownTown headquarters, this researcher found no reason to doubt their claim.   Zok Drink is purchased as a small brick of compressed powder. One scrapes off as much of the substance as one needs and adds it to a liquid. And there you’ll have it—a tall, fresh glass of Zok Drink.   The bricks come in a variety of flavors: sweet, fruity tones are the most popular all around, but as tastes vary throughout the Gri’x, ZokCo has made an effort to cater to everyone’s preferences. Savory, salty, bitter, earthy, the list goes on—and in a very specific region of the outskirts of the Glokken Fjords where the only living descendants of the Four-Tongued Puff-Dowagers are found, they’ve even introduced a version which, it is said, tastes like old telephone mouthpieces circa ‘Nodian era 1972.   It’s a niche, to be sure, but they’ve practically cornered that particular market.   Zok Drink mixes well with any liquid. Most people prefer to use water (or their metabolic equivalent), but with so many different flavors and so many potential liquids in which to mix them, one can never run out of new combinations to try. Entire periodical journals and cooking shows are devoted to recipes and other innovative ways to use Zok Drink—after all, there’s no rule that says it must go in a liquid, or even that one must create something edible with it.   As if the endless flavor options aren’t enough, Zok Drink can also be purchased in deluxe packages which include carbonation tubes full of freeze-dried bubbles that re-constitute upon exposure to certain chemical ingredients in the powder, Viscos-O pellets which turn the liquid to a thick syrup suitable for treat toppings, an array of non-toxic coloring agents, and a free surprise toy for the kids.
