Not sure which beverage to enjoy at the next same-sex marriage you attend? Try Homo Light:

Quote:

Norwegian homosexuals are set to launch their own soda brand, “Homo light”, at an upcoming gastronomic festival, in the hope that it will help promote tolerance, one of the authors of the project said on Monday.

“The goal is not for us to make money but to make us more visible and accepted,” Oeystein Mauritzen told AFP. Pear-flavoured and pink, “Homo Light” will go on sale as a one-time offer at a stand at a gastronomic festival in the southwestern town of Stavanger between July 27 and 30. Along with the soda, which will be sold in half-litre bottles for 20 kroner, the group will sell rainbow-coloured pasta salads.

Norway, which has allowed homosexuals to form marriage-like partnerships since 1993, is one of the world’s most liberal countries when it comes to gay rights.

Can our own snack food be far off?

I just gotta ask - "Better taste or less filling?"

Here's a Dutch source. The first link was to a Pakistani news source. (?)
As to your question; I'm afraid to guess.

I really don't quite know how to respond to that...so I'll just come back tomorrow when I've had some sleep and compose a well-thought-out reply then...
