Default google gulp!!!?? this sounds so sweet

I think this is like a RedBull drink? Right? I can't seem to figure it out. I really hope it's not an April Fool's Joke... because I love this idea. It probably is though, because the technology sounds way too complex, even for Google.

No personally identifiable information of any kind related to your consumption of Google Gulp or any other current or future Google Foods product will ever be given, sold, bartered, auctioned off, tossed into a late-night poker pot, or otherwise transferred in any way to any untrustworthy third party, ever, we swear.

I don't know, even the privacy policy (usually something very straight-forward) is fishy...
