Honest to God "snake oil salesman" charged for selling venomous, vodka-based elixir

By Gritsforbreakfast

ADVERTISEMENTS

Just pointing this story out for its "don't you love this state?" humor value.I'm not surprised someone would make such a concoction, but it cracks me up that the vendor, named "Bayou Bob," no less, developed a significant customer base selling what amounts to rattlesnakes brined in vodka, which sold as a natural medicinal remedy, he (naturally) insists.A true, literal, snake-oil salesman ... who'da thought?Bayou Bob had one bottle of rattlesnake soaking in tequila when his facility was raided, along with 429 containers with rattlers soaking in vodka. One imagines that, for tequila drinkers, this development would significantly add to the dilemma as you near the end of the bottle over whether to "eat the worm."
