s that were already infected with Mydoom.A. Users who have successfully removed Mydoom.A from their computers are not at risk for infection by Doomjuice.
Doomjuice may also refer to any number of variants of a homemade beverage first concocted in 2009 by a Travis Brown and Eric Turnage in Nashville, TN. Its taste is generally considered to be vile by most individuals, and is described as "strong" by less scornful individuals. Its composition is primarily sucrose, or common table sugar, as well as several packages of commonly found soda flavorings, and water. Generally, the ratio of sugar:flavorings:water is 45:30:25, or 9:6:5. Recipes for the concoction are fairly simple, and generally may be surmised as "huge amounts of sugar, huge amounts of koolaid, and just enough water to make it drinkable". Unfortunately, varieties of this version of Doomjuice are not available for retail sales, as the unforeseen aftereffect of the beverage is a state of extreme hyperactivity, followed by a strong sugar crash.
