Okay.
In the final version of the game, Nefertiti's curse is the "Holstein Hex". In the original design, Her curse was "Embarrassing Personal Problem." This would manifest differently based on certain conditions. For instance, you might come away with halitosis or flatulence...or you might be cursed with "Male Lactation Syndrome".
You can guess the rest. I don't really blame Steve Purcell for nixing this.
We initially replaced the puzzle with a much more convoluted one involving spiked milk. Snowcone's reference to "jolly juice" in little arctic circle, and Spot the Snake's appearance on the train, are both vestigial remains of this other cut puzzle. It was nice, but it would have made the sequence a little unwieldy.
Eventually we hit upon the happy compromise of turning Max temporarily into a cow, and the rest is history.
