A true tale of phrase horror

Warning: the following linguistic trainwreck is not for the squeamish.

"Draining the lizard" is vulgar slang for urination. A new ad campaign for SoBe beverages misappropriates the phrase and now many will associate the lizard emblazoned bottles with urine. Ugh!

I can't understand why they would name a beverage something that makes people think of drinking pee. But do you recall the chewing gum ad slogan, "Chew on this"? I don't remember the product but I remember the stupid ad.
