Apparently they love that frog juice in Peru.
Less than a dollar a mug ....

Frog juice in high demand in Peru
By LESLIE JOSEPHS, Associated Press WriterThu May 3, 10:55 PM ET


Carmen Gonzalez plucks one of the 50 frogs from the aquarium at her bus stop restaurant, bangs it against tiles to kill it and then makes two incisions along its belly and peels off the skin as if husking corn.
She's preparing frog juice, a beverage revered by some Andean cultures for having the power to cure asthma, bronchitis, sluggishness and a low sex drive. A drink of so-called "Peruvian Viagra" sells for about 90 cents.
Gonzalez adds three ladles of hot, white bean broth, two generous spoonfuls of honey, raw aloe vera plant and several tablespoons of maca ? an Andean root also believed to boost stamina and sex drive ? into a household blender.
Then she drops the frog in.
Once strained, the result is a starchy, milkshake-like liquid that stings the throat.
At least 50 customers a day ask for steaming beer mugs of frog juice at Gonzalez's countertop-only restaurant in eastern Lima, and many treat the concoction as their morning ? and afternoon ? cup of coffee.
Rebeca Borja, a 53-year-old housewife and mother of five, originally from Lima's central highland city of Huancayo, where the beverage is common, said simply: "It gives you power."
Let the blending begin .... :!

Why not Poison Arrow Frogs?
There has been a new discovery involving the Poison arrow frog, Epipedrobates tricolor from Equidor. Researchers from Abbott Labs in Chicago have developed a new pain killer called ABT-594. John Daly from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases found that an extract from the frog's skin could block pain 200 times more effectively than morphine. Mr. Daly calls the compound "epibatidine" in honor of the frog. Further studies have been done and this drug appears to have none of the serious side effects which are associated with morphine. Morphine can also suppress breathing and stop the digestive movement in the intestines and the bowel. Current tests show that ABT-594 does not hinder respiration, diminish digestive movement or show signs of addiction.

Apparently she either doesnt imbibe herself or it isn't that powerful or she wouldn't be selling frog juice. She would be living in a mansion and being waited on hand and foot.

She only sells it for 90 cents a glass; however, if it really is that good you would think she could franchise it and have "McFrogs Power Juice Drink Stands" all over South America.:biggrin:
