Knoblauchsaft? Is that a thing?
I know duolingo has some silly sentences, and this may be one. But drinking garlicjuice may be popular in Germany. Does anyone know?

Thanks. One can never be quite sure. In Brazil, the butterfly wants me to take him to the theater. ("A borboleta quer que eu a leve ao teatro.") That one was pretty obviously silly. But there was one German sentence wherein a horse was eating the Holy Potato. I learned later that the Holy Potato exists.

Curious: Garlic is a strong stimulant. Adding it to recipes, itself felt wrong, many a times. However drinking it's juice, is it healthy?

This program is not meant to give health or medical advice. It's supposed to teach you how to say things in other languages, and in this case, how to translate a given sentence. If it tells me to translate a sentence that means "is there a restaurant near here?" or say it out loud, it doesn't mean that I'm hungry and need to find a restaurant.
In this case, the ellipsis at the end makes the tone skeptical.
