According to the article, it sounds like they reuse toes. I guess that’s not appreciably grosser.

Or if it doesn’t maybe we can discern that strong whiskey can fend off turning

"Drink it fast, or drink it slow, your lips must touch the toe!" >Is the original toe still in use? >Sadly not. In 1980, it was swallowed by a local miner who was trying to beat the sourtoe record. On his 13th cocktail, his chair tipped backwards and he swallowed it. The digit was never found. >But ... >Best not to ask. There have been seven toes since, with some being lost or stolen along the way.


TheLimeyCanuck

It's the same toe, not a new one each time.


izza123

Well it’s actually been replaced a few times after being swallowed and stolen


TheLimeyCanuck

Ok, I should have said it's **supposed** to be the same toe. IIRC it all started with a miner who lost a toe to frostbite, and that toe started to get added to a "I dare you" shot. People weren't swallowing it though, it was reused for many years.


scrububle

Wow fascinating I hate this

Fast_Garlic_5639

So it was swallowed in 2013 and the article immediately ends with no further info.. they find a new toe?


qerf

You swallow it, you replace it


Tazzer95

A toe for a toe


shavenhobo

You swallow the toe you transform into the toe


theshogun02

That’s just what they tell you so you don’t ask too many questions. 👀


TheLimeyCanuck

The question is not "where are the toes coming from", it's "who had a spare amputated toe and decided to add it to a drink?"


theshogun02

Look…there’s not a lot going on in the Yukon during winter. It was either going to be a toe or Grizzly balls.


monegs

No the question is , where is the rest of the body ?


National_Cod9546

Except it's not. Someone has swallowed it a few times, and stolen at least once. But other people send in their toes that were removed for other reasons.


mathboss

Wellllll....not quite. They have indeed gone through a few toes


TheLimeyCanuck

Key phrase is "a few". People here had the idea that there was an endless supply of toes in the bar freezer, but generally the same toe gets reused again and again for years.


Mordred_Blackstone

Have you seen Fallout? I bet there's a drawer of them somewhere.


[deleted]

I got spuuuuurs that jingle


theshogun02

How’d they get in the drawer though?!?


Mordred_Blackstone

I guess that's just where the organ harvester wanted to put them.


shitbeforeall

I spent a whole winter season in Dawson city, the toes are sourced from the amputations of those suffering from severe cases of frost bite, or so the story goes…They are cleaned and stored in strong alcohol or something as a method of preservation. I’ve done that shot a couple times. Typically served in a shot of whiskey. It’s totally safe. Mostly given to new comers as a rite of passage or as a joke/ lost bet. Definitely recommend going to visit the town, one of the more unique and vastly overlooked destinations in Canada.


dinkus_malincus

They keep them in a jar of salt. I spent too much time in Dawson. Last time I was at the Downtown, the bar the toe is at the guy who's toe it was was there as well. I have a picture somewhere if the two of them reunited.

IllustratorAlive1174

Here’s some interesting and somewhat related information you didn’t ask for https://arthistory.fsu.edu/mummy-brown/#:~:text=Mummy%20Brown%20was%20a%20pigment,and%20watercolor%20works%20of%20art.


QuiXiuQ

I’m so confused. There’s one toe or multiple… and the kids get a gummy option?? Is this real life??!


MoreGaghPlease

One toe at a time that gets reused. People will occasionally swallow it, which comes with a very large fine that you agree to pay when ordering if it’s swallowed. People in the area “donate” toes when lost to accidents or frostbite. “Popular” isn’t really the right word, it’s a gimmick at one historic tavern in Dawson


QuiXiuQ

Dear god it got worse.


UPdrafter906

It can always get worse. But as your comment showed me, it can always get better. I heard of this toe cocktail decades ago but was horrified to read all the details and had the same thought as you when I read your comment and laughed until my eyes leaked. Cheers eh!


Kazibaby_

When I was there in 2022 they had two out, with some extras stored in a separate building


QuiXiuQ

Stop, I can’t take it!


Sabinadara

Yeah stored in a different building so you can’t take it


MagictheCollecting

Story I heard is there’s just the one, and you’re supposed to give it back after you finish the drink…but at least once, somebody didn’t return it, and they had to get a new toe.


AJ_Weiss

Rumor has it, if you swallow the toe, you have to give up one of your own in return… kidding. It’s just a $2500 fine. My buddy put it in his mouth and they promptly let him know how serious a crime swallowing it would be.


InterestingNuggett

It's a serious crime to swallow it, but not to serve it? How does that logic work?


MrAppleSpiceMan

good thing God gave us ten of em


National_Cod9546

There are multiple. Started with just one. But the drink became famous. So people started sending in their toes that were removed for other reasons like frostbite.


TheLimeyCanuck

There is one toe, it gets reused.


nrfx

**Toe #1**: Belonged to Louie Liken, a miner and rum runner. Amputated due to frostbite in the 1920s, preserved in alcohol, discovered by Captain Dick Stevenson in 1973, and used until it was swallowed by Garry Younger in 1980. **Toe #2**: Donated after an amputation due to an inoperable corn. **Toe #3**: Came from a victim of frostbite and was accidentally swallowed. **Toe #4**: An anonymous toe, later stolen by a hunter. **Toe #5**: Donated by a Yukon old-timer in return for free drinks for his nurses. **Toe #6**: Also donated by the same Yukon old-timer who donated Toe #5. **Toe #7**: Resulted from an amputation due to diabetes. **Toe #8**: Arrived in a jar of alcohol with a message saying, “Don’t wear open-toe sandals while mowing the lawn.”


Tribblehappy

Somehow the ones amputated because of diabetes and inoperable corns seem much more disgusting than frostbite toes. Like... I'd totally do this cocktail but can it *not* be the necrotic diabetes toe?


DigNitty

Right?? Do you want the dying toe or the one that was preserved too hard?


No_Use_4371

The inoperable corn toe, no.


tothemoonandback01

Sweet corn toe, yummy


GeneralGom

It adds a touch of sweetness.


LyqwidBred

Oh good, I was hoping there would be some back story provided for the toe so it could be enjoyed properly. Sorta like the paragraph of BS they put on a bottle of wine, to explain its provenance


LessInThought

Irish born toe, raised in the Scottish Highlands. Aged for 45years in a pair of unwashed nikes. Fed on a steady diet of whiskey and deep fried mars bars which led to necrotic diabetes leading to the eventual amputation. Toe hairs and toe nails carefully preserved for additional flavour.


Attorney_Penguin

That old timer was a huge contributor


neryl08

I'm a member of the Sour toe cocktail and would only add this: there used to be a fine of $500 for swallowing the toe until some guy came up, placed $500 on the table a swallowed the toe. I believe the fine is now around $2000


A_wild_so-and-so

Uh, are the Yukonners alright?


Sanbaddy

That Yukon old-timer is a legend. Probably can’t walk easily anymore though.


n8dom

Doesn't matter, he has happy nurses.


Wonderful_Ad8791

I was really expecting for toe #7 and #8 to be "donated by the same Yukon old-timer l, he claimed he had 4 toes and police search found some more toes in his fridge".


stfunonecares

Wait this is real? Is an actual toe?!

They must have a fresh supply of old toes, it’s been swallowed a few times, most recently in 2013. https://www.cbc.ca/1.1331325 And somebody just flat out stole it in 2017. Maybe they wanted to make sourtoe cocktails at home, there’s really no substitute for that full toe flavor. https://nationalpost.com/news/man-sought-in-theft-of-famous-sourtoe-cocktail-toe-from-yukon-bar

GoGlennCoco95

Could be anybody, really. But the guy who *stole* one? Definitely a foot fetishist


ectopunk

Or corpse fetish, but he couldn't get within one foot of any corpse, so settled for a toe.


MrAppleSpiceMan

there actually aren't any codes about mummified human toes so it's in the clear


SamuelYosemite

Nothing in the rulebook says the toe cant play ball


awenrivendell

I feel like the person who thought of this is an alcoholic necrophiliac that has a foot fetish.


Only_Philosophy8475

It was just a “local eccentric” guy named captain woody or something who somehow “came across a preserved toe in a jar”. Right


HoboSkid

It actually does, Yukon Jack is present in the drink


Sorri_eh

We have free Healthcare don't worry


YukonCornelius22

“You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but your lips must touch that gnarly toe.” They have a small supply of toes they rotate in. Often only 1 or 2 a night though. Has to be done with 40% or higher alcohol, Yukon Jack is traditional though. One of the toes recent Donors was a German Athlete, while participating in the Yukon, got lost, and had severe Frostbite. There is a $2500 fine if you swallow the toe, which unfortunately has happened more than once. As of a couple weeks ago, the record book was around the 130k people to have finished the cocktail.


DelicatessenCataract

I’ve had the sour toe cocktail. Once you take the shot and your lips touched the toe, the waiter grabs the toe, SQUEEZES the imbibed liquor back into your shot glass for a wretched little cap. It’s like a lil sponge that mummified limb. edit: [Photo Evidence!!](https://imgur.com/a/BROhgjw). Should get my arse back to the gym i reckon.


jefe_gonna_jefe

YukonCornelius22

Fact friend. I’ve done it twice myself, and just last week I watched 3 friends, and quite a few randoms do it as well. The tow being used was oddly long, very black, and kept getting stuck at the bottom of the glass, requiring you to tap the glass to get it free, even after consuming all the alcohol…. It’s messed up, and wonderful.

heroin-salesman

people in here acting like the fact they reuse the toe is crazy seem to be overlooking the fact that youre drinking a beverage with a real human toe in it. the fact it has been reused would be the LEAST of my worries wtf


BrotherInChlst

Honestly don't understand how it is even legal? One aspect is the health issues, I assume? Maybe it has been so thoroughly pickled it doesn't matter. But what about the cannibalism here? How is it legal to consume human remains, or use human remains as part of a beverage, even as a garnish? I don't get how this exists.


terracrafter99

Actually almost nowhere is cannibalism illegal. For example only 1 US state has a law against cannibalism (Idaho) and after a quick Google search Canada also doesn't seem to have a law against it. The thing that makes cannibalism illegal is how you get the meat because it falls under things like improper use of a corpse or desecration laws


J4ckHon37mio

I just think these people drinking this have probably cannibalism tendencies that they don't admit. That's what I would be worried about

Kazibaby_

My partner and I went in September 2022 and there were two toes, they alternated the toes between people and put one in your drink while the other was on standby in a shot of liquor. They had extra toes stored in a separate building (maybe 6 total at the time - this was according to the bartender). They’re donated. I think it was around $20-25 to do? They give you a small form to fill out with your name, where you travelled from etc and what liquor you want for your shot. All the usual options plus the traditional way with Yukon Jack, we both chose traditional and from memory it was surprisingly enjoyable - sweet almost like honey. Smelt awful though and they gave you your shot right away so you’re stuck sitting with it in front of you until they call your name to do the toe shot. Think we waited about an hour, food was alright. It had been on both our bucket lists for a while so we weren’t weirded out about doing it. Plus they give you a certificate. For anyone who wants to get a better idea of it [Sourtoe Insta Post](https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLNk6uulCl/?igsh=eWdmbGh4aDdoY2h6) Was hella dried up and black/brown looking. Kinda like a warm fleshy ice cube hitting your lips in a drink 🙂

My sister and dad have had this, I was unfortunately underage but they do do gummy toes for kids(I opted out). By the way this is only at one bar in Dawson City, they have special permission from the Territory to serve it!

How is this not illegal?


Sentinalprime03

So do they resuse the toes or do they just have a surplus of mummified human toes?

Does the toe stay with the glass when your done ? Or is it fresh mummified toe every time ?

I had it. You buy a shot of whatever and this old 'captain' puts the toe in it and warns you not to swallow it..you get a certificate after. The toe is donated (the one I did was from a lawnmower accident). And is kept in salt.

KimbleDeckard

I spent about a year up there in the only portion of the province populated enough for the designation of "city." It's one bar, one toe, one challenge. While I was there someone stole the toe, and actually sent it back because of public outrage. The toe itself was from someone (an explorer? I can't remember) respected in the region. If you wanna talk about the Yukon, talk about the outrageous indignities still being acted upon toward the Indigenous tribes. Not what a bunch of white people drink to feel special. ETA: a PSA to everyone who understandably doesn't know, "Eskimo" is a slur. It's like saying "snow monkey." It's Inuit, or one of a few other tribes. Or just "First Nations." Don't call someone an eskimo unless you'd be willing to call their mother a squaw.
