Diamonds from Tequila

Tequila is one of Mexico's most famous exports
A method of producing synthetic diamonds using tequila - Mexico's favourite alcoholic drink - has been discovered, scientists there say.

"The scientists found that even the cheapest of tequila brands, averaging at $3 a bottle, are good enough to make diamonds."

And if you drink two bottles, the diamonds are twice as big.

Even bad tequilas can be made into good Margaritas. Turning them into teensy little diamonds, instead, should be a felony.

Now if they could turn it into dope, they could eliminate Columbia.:biggrin:

One of my neighbors makes almost $1600 a month from SS. He spends about $800 of that a month on whiskey and prostitutes. The rest he just fritters away.

Where does one find $3 tequila? Even the crap they call Cuervo Gold now sells for $14.

It's good that China and Japan will make tequila. Mexico needs the competition. Tequila prices are outrageous!!!
