    If it’s at every little shop as a drink, it must be popular though. Even if it does taste like cum.

    Are there some local beliefs of it being medicinal or the like?

      I actually don’t know many people who drink it, and I’ve lived here previously for 3 years. I think there is some superstition around it, it’s supposed to help with digestion and I don’t know how much that is based off fact or not. Some people say it speeds up your metabolism, which is the same thing they say about eating all the chills.
