Witch's Brew

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Witches' Brew is a phrase that Homestar Runner happens to say a lot—although technically, it's really Strong Bad who says it first, since he's dressed up as Homestar at the time. Witches' Brew is "cold-hot-fresh", according to Homestar, who has sold jars of this for $10. It may cause the side effects of wine, women, and song, but it is drinkable, at least by the The Cheat. It does not cure hiccups, however.
