BRANDS Essence Of Chicken

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Seen the little green boxes in 7-Eleven for years now, thought I'd give one a try. Nice aren't they! Fans of Bovril won't be dissapointed.

I also hear they are very very good for your health.

[JoGeAr]

They do several 'health tonics' including ginseng and bird's nest. Pretty good for you, apparently. Have tried both the ginseng and the bird's nest but could not afford to drink them on a regular basis, with the bird's nest running at around 200 baht a pop.

Isn't birds nest dried bird saliva in saliva?

[Roc]

Also good for those Monday morning blues!!

[Crunchie]

It tastes nothing like bovril

[Little Chuchok]

Isn't birds nest dried bird saliva in saliva?

The real stuff is ment to be hardened saliva of the swiftlet swallow..very expensive and certainly not mass produced like the shite you buy here.

[Hootad Binky]

I wonder what part of the chicken becomes the "essence."

I went through a phase of using these for a while.
Being feeling nackered lately, maybe the result of to much beer, gin and lack of exercise apart the the wife exercising me. May start it up again to see if it helps.

Or you could buy a tin of chicken soup.

Essence of cream of tomato would be better!
At least it wouldn't taste like shite.

I liked those essence zaps, but I thought they were only about Bt30? Easy to drink, good energy after.

i picked up a six pack of Brands berry essence at the supermarket yesterday. imagine my horror when i got home and checked the receipt that i could have bought a six pack of beer for the same amount.

i havent tried any yet but will submit a full report.

[Sir Burr]

I've heard that there isn't actually any chicken in Brands Essence. It's all artificial flavouring.
Tonic drink? You can't beat an M-150.

[The Gentleman Scamp]

^ You sure about that?

M-150 is to Energy drinks what Chang is to beer.

[Sir Burr]

No, not certain, but, I seem to remember reading about it a few years ago. Could be wrong though. Never touch it myself.

My gf has one wee bottle most every morning... i think it's the prune juice one. keeps her regular she claims. i have no problems with that. at least it's not me that's giving her the shits.

[kk boy]

prefer Sponsor or M-Sport for a pick me up (reads hangover)

Sounds about right.

Tho' a gf used to call it Lipo (the M150 that is)

I called it "wake up juice" because she couldn't wake up without one.
