A wise man say: If we drink the juice, are we not ourselves changed?

ok but how does this works? if i pour it on the ground and lick it, do i turn into a puddle? or it stops working because technically it’s no longer a “bottle of juice”?
It just turns you into the same bottle. The juice is what transforms you; the bottle is just a convenient inbuilt warning.
Makes sense. I feel there should be law mandating the juice be sold in the original bottle so the consumer can be well informed what they are transforming into.
Me trying to socialize in Caves of Qud
Hypothetically asking, can I get one and serve in a glass to someone else?
Of course
Ok. I’m getting really hypothetical here, but leaving this at party can spread the juice quickly and even wider spread if it gets into water system. Whole life on earth will turn juice soon…
You’re a true villain
so like a Cat’s Cradle kind of situation? 🤔
Is the new bottle identical to the bottle after the sip was taken? That would mean each copy has less juice than the one before it. So although the total amount of juice increases when a copy is made (at least until the sip is larger than the remaining juice), it would still run out eventually.
Bottle prime would still have the same amount though, and infinite copies of that (minus 1 drop) could be made of if
It would have less every time someone drinks from it.
oh… doy. I thought I had this figured out
You could also refill the first bottle after each clone, then all cloned bottles would be full -2 sips.
But only if you could resist sipping it yourself before refilling.
Good point, I hadn’t thought of that.
And even faster if you pour it into a glass like a decent human versus drinking straight from the bottle like my mom would say, “a goddam animal like your father”.
Now these are the real questions
Good question. The same goes for the label. If I rip it away and burn it before drinking, would I then turn into a bottle that also doesn’t have a label, making it even more dangerous to other people.
Once all of the fuller bottles are depleted, we’re gonna see some exponential growth in the bottle population.
But what does it taste like?
It tastes like the other bottles. They’re identical.
It’s impossible to ever know
I know I would become one of those juices

I gotta fuckin’ know…
“Here, drink this”
Ha! Kid and Play for someone of my intelligence! All you have to do is drink an Odd just a sip and the rest of the Juice is yours!
but maybe these were all just originally bottles?
