Google Gulp - quench your thirst for Knowledge
Hello there,
Google Gulp is a great new service from Google. If you're a scholar like me, this is the ideal way to quench your thirst for knowledge, and it even comes in several flavours!
I have already started using it; it couldn't have come at a better time. Click the following logo to learn more about Google Gulp (tm) technology.

Yes, the Google Gulp is refreshingly cool. It has definitely quenched my thirst for knowledge, no thanks to my Admin. It is so 'nice' of @Seun to post the Google Gulp link. Drink and u will never be thristy for knowledge again.

How to get Gulped?You can pick up your own supply of this "limited release" product simply by turning in a used Gulp Cap at your local grocery store. How to get a Gulp Cap? Well, if you know someone who's already been "gulped," they can give you one. And if you don't know anyone who can give you one, don't worry – that just means you aren't cool. But very, very (very!) soon, you will be.

Willl Google be coming out with more food products?As a rule, Google doesn't comment on future product releases, but...let's just say for now that a cool, refreshing drink isn't complete without, oh, say, chips and dip, is it?

Re: Google Gulp - quench your thirst for Knowledge
Google Gulp is Google's official April Fool Joke.
I went to their website and was confused as well. Not until I researched a little did I find out that it was Google's prank. 
Do you doubt me? See for yourself.

Of course it's an april fool's joke. Google has a tradition of April fool's jokes. Never believe outrageous press releases sent on April 1!

Re: Google Gulp - quench your thirst for Knowledge
After checking out the site, I discovered that it was an April Fool's joke. Because I didn't want to be the only one to be fooled, I decided to play along with Seun, and see what others reactios will be.

Re: Google Gulp - quench your thirst for Knowledge
I was looking for an April fools joke to send to you all, but on April 1 I found myself at Ikeja village trying to buy an inverter. So I thought posting the Google April Fool's joke and putting it on the front page will do. Obviously it wasn't written with Nigerians in mind, and it fell flat
