Dozens of the light teal Zoolak bottles, containing a lightly fermented milk drink, were found at the site. It was created by a Dr. Dadirrian (whose name is on the bottle) and produced by Edgar E. Wright of Brooklyn. The recipe, for every 100 parts Zoolak included:

Water 87.69
Proteid substances 3.98
Fat 4.91
Milk-sugar 2.03
Alcohol 0.07
Ash or mineral salts 0.78
Lactic acid 0.50
Carbon dioxide 0.04

Loorya says Zoolak would probably be similar to kafir, based on what she has researched about it, but the team has yet to recreate a sample to date.

You can catch advertisements for Zoolak on New York City billboards in vintage photographs.
