Update on the "fortified energy drink" story..
Personally, I'm in a quandary as to whether I would have rather had the amputated "member" in my energy drink instead:

'Penis' found floating in bottle was mold, cops say

- An object found in a fruit drink last week is not a human penis, as previously believed, but mold or bacteria, Commerce City, Colo., police now say.
"We worked off the best information we had," said Elaine Rowe, police spokeswoman. "We didn't have any clue that it could be anything else. It's very strange. I've never seen anything like this in law enforcement."
Last Thursday machinist Juan Sanchez-Marchez, 41, found what appeared to be a 3-inch section of a human penis in his 20-ounce Ora Potency Fruit Punch after he had downed two-thirds of the drink.
He turned it over to Commerce City police, who sent it to the Adams County (Colo.) Coroner's Office, which determined it was part of a human penis.
The police issued a press release Friday, and the drink was taken off grocery-store shelves.
Rowe said Wednesday the pathologist from the coroner's office didn't do a tissue sample but only an external examination of the object before identifying it as a penis.
Rowe said she could see how the pathologist could come to that conclusion. "If you saw it, you would have believed it," she said.
