Product Fails in India

However, when tested in India, the product failed miserably: We used it on a captive crowd consisting of CRPF personnel and general public. But they managed to tolerate the smell without much difficulty. [...] Those who can ignore [the] smell can drink the liquid also.[12]

A quoted passage describes a product being tested on a captive crowd in India, where CRPF personnel and the general public tolerate its smell and can even drink it. The joke is the absurd implication that the product is so unpleasant or bizarre that drinking it becomes a test of ignoring the smell, framed as a disastrous product trial.
