LIMA, Peru (Reuters) -- Peruvian officials saved some 4,000 endangered frogs from being whizzed into popular drinks after they were found hidden in an abattoir.

"We were checking the fridges when out jumped a frog. It had escaped, they were in big crates," a spokesman for Lima city hall said on Thursday.

Frog cocktails are popular in the Andes because of their supposed aphrodisiac qualities.

Shops in central Lima selling the drinks have tanks where customers can choose their frogs.

LOL! Somebody already beat ya to the ping, just on another thread. I wish I had an aphrodisiac effect on some people, but the sad fact is, I seem to have an anesthetic effect on most. ;o)
