I think the last ingredient is Chocobo spit...
So, as a kind of promotion for the new Final Fantasy XII they're selling 'potions'. And, being a nerd (but not as much of a nerd as a certain other person I could name), of course I had to get one. I was expecting some kind of nice refreshing yummy drink, you know maybe some lemon-fizzy type thing, but NO! This was thoroughly, thoroughly grosserific. Shoulda read the label before I drank it, the ingredients are "isomerized sugar, sugar, royal jelly, propolis extract, elder, chamomile, sage, thyme, hyssop, fennel, marjoram, rosemary, sweet basil, lemon balm, acidulant, flavoring, CAFFEINE, sodium benzoate, sodium phosphate, vitamin B6, vitamin B1 and blue #1".
I'll have to admit it was quite energizing, and I could feel my hit-points returning as I drank it, but purely as a taste sensation it gets a negative score.
Invigorating but nasty!

Mmm, propolis extract.
It is not sweet, even with two kinds of sugar. It's funk-nasty. Tastes like 3 day old stank herb-tea with battry acid mixed in for good measure.
Back in the insomniac days I remember QVC touting the health benefits of royal jelly. I suppose that might be true IF YOU ARE A BEE!!!! I confess I actually had to look up propolis and I'm not sure even QVC could come up with a health benefit of Bee Mortar. It all sounds fabulous but if I come to visit sometime, I think I will stick with Sweat for my drinking pleasure...
