Hibinacho juice

Hibinacho juice was a violet fruit juice potable by Theelins whose high sugar content caused the drinker to become jittery. The juice was of the Katikoot species of the planet Aubadas.^[1] In 382 BBY,^[2] the pilot Dietrix Jago and the Theelin Amos Tillian drank Hibinacho juice, causing the latter to talk quickly and enthusiastically. In response, a friend of his, the Twi'lek Kam, took his glass away from him, which prompted Tillian to notice that he was indeed jittery. After drinking the juice, Jago paced around the room and clacked her tongue, making Tillian wonder if she, too, was being affected by the drink's sugar. Kam later gave Tillian his drink back, with the Theelin drinking the rest of it with appreciation.^[1]

Later, when the Katikoot Mittik expressed wariness of Tillian's problem-solving abilities due to his response to the juice, Jago attributed the reaction to the natural oddity of communications engineers.^[1]
