Anyone ever try yogurt soda?

I was at a fruit stand off of the freeway yesterday that's run by some middle-eastern folks. I picked up a bottle of something called "yogurt soda". It looked like a bottle of water with a layer of white goop at the bottom. You're supposed to shake it gently to mix the yogurt goop with the soda water. The guy at the checkstand told me that it's consumed to replace salt lost in the heat and warned me that this stuff sprays all over. He was right - I ended up with it all over myself by the time I got the cap all the way off.
The stuff was pretty weird. It tasted like salty cold sour milk with fizz. The sour milk aspect was pretty strong - there was a potent odor to it and my wife immediately told me it had obviously gone bad. Anyone else ever have this? Was the sour milk aspect just the result of a particularly fragrant fermentation for the yogurt or was the stuff really bad?
