“Clone me, you bastards!”: Iced tea with Ozzy Osbourne’s actual DNA now for sale at $450 a pop
The Ozzy Osbourne merch machine has entered a truly bizarre phase. Hot on the heels of his upcoming Where’s Ozzy? seek-and-find book, the Black Sabbath icon is now offering fans the chance to own cans of iced tea infused with his actual DNA.

That’s right. In collaboration with canned water brand Liquid Death, Osbourne has unveiled a limited edition run of ten cans dubbed “Infinite Ozzy”. Each one has reportedly been sipped and lovingly contaminated by the Prince of Darkness, before being lab-sealed and signed for good measure.
The price? A modest $450 per can, because nothing says rock ‘n’ roll like highly collectible, semi-hydrated human essence.
“Clone me, you bastards,” Osbourne commands in a statement. And apparently, that’s more than just a punchline.
“Yes, we really got the Prince of Darkness to drink from 10 cans of our low-calorie Iced Tea,” Liquid Death confirms. “And yes, he actually crushed each can himself. In the process, he left behind trace DNA from his saliva that you can now own. He even hand-signed each packaging label.”
The company also declares that “once technology and federal law permit, fans can use this DNA to try to clone Ozzy in the future and enjoy him for hundreds of years to come.”
The release is, of course, timed perfectly – just ahead of Ozzy’s final show with Black Sabbath, which takes place 5 July in Birmingham, England. Whether you drink it, frame it, or cryogenically store it in your garage lab, one thing’s clear: rock memorabilia may never get weirder than this.
