If he'd paid proper attention to the results, he would have realized that it doesn't work exclusively on the opposite sex rather than having to figure that out [[IncrediblyLamePun the hard way]].

35	* UnsettlingGenderReveal: In "Funky Cold Medina", Lōc tries the drink on a potential partner named Sheena, but in his words "when she got undressed it was a big ol' mess... Sheena was a MAN!"
