One Purely Silly One..

Just before I got ill we were shopping in Albuquerque. We were in the checkout line at the Asian market when I spotted this can:




That's right: a soft drink made from the nest of Asian swiftlets.

I don't know if you can read the list of ingredients below:



But they include, in order: "Water, Jelly, Granulated sugar, BIRD'S NEST FLAVOUR [emphasis mine], Ginseng flavouring, Genuine Bird's nest, No preservatives".

It tasted of tart fruit, and was full of a substance like rice noodles (Libby says translucent worms)-- I assume the fragments of bird's nest. It did not taste of ginseng.
