Hey guys,

My roommate received this set of drinks (Well...it's a liquid) that apparently helps reduce stress and increase focus...although...that's what he thinks it is. If anyone recognizes or can figure out what these are, it would be very much appreciated.

Wild guess here but I would say it is similar to Brand's chicken essence. some chicken extract

It looks like 보약 (bo-yak) to me. It's like a health drink more than a "reduce stress and increase focus" drink.

Its just chicken's esscence, very common and harmless, assuming they don't do anything funny.

There's always ads showing an academic achiever holding a bottle of Brand's Chicken Essence in the media. It's given to people who are sitting for their exams since before it was commercialised during my father's time. Of course back then we made our own authentic stuff.

鸡精 is chicken essence in Chinese.

Well, his aunt brought it to him when she visited him on residence. All she said was that it would be good for him. We will try it shortly.

I don't think you should call it a drink. It's more of a supplement. Don't drink more than 1 per day.

It's something like red bull but less emphasis on alertness and rather on memory.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable drinking anything from a jar.

for the sake of humanity, you must drink it. What hope is there if you let go of your curiousity.

So, my roommate smelt the stuff and became quite unwilling to try it. I decided to try and make it a tad funner by pulling out a small shot glass and daring him to drink it. End result? He will probably never drink the stuff again. Me? I took a much smaller amount (half a shot), so it wasn't that bad. We got rid of the aftertaste with good'ol mac and cheese. Now we have 5 bottles of the stuff left and no idea what to do with it. =)

I plan on slyly tricking him into drinking it everyday =), only time will tell how well it'll work.

That's what I always pictured Splooge from Holes to look like. The orange logo looks kinda like a peach, right?
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

it's pretty good stuff actually, i buy it here in Taiwan and drink it from time to time

the taste probably varies on the brand of the chicken essence (and if they add other stuff, like ginseng or other roots), but it tastes like a bitter chicken soup, so not too bad

its also not cheap (~2-3 dollars per "jar"), so at least somewhat appreciate it
too easy

Yeah, so I googled it. Apparently it's all the shit that boils out of a chicken when you pressure cook it? Sounds delightful.
