I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fucking believe it.  Someone is selling a canned beverage that has bird spit in it.  Is demand really that high?  Or was there a choice between a drink based on bird spit or bird balls soup?  I guess the Nice Look Drink is a Chinese energy drink or something like it, judging by its cheesy name and the can is the size of a Red Bull.  The avian saliva comes from the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bird%27s_nest_soup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bird&#8217;s nest soup<\/a> in the beverage, which according to Wikipedia is believed to, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153aid digestion, raise libido, improve the voice, alleviate asthma, improve focus, and boost the immune system.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d  <\/p>\n<p>So basically, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a fuck drink.  Oh, and the ingredient list is mercifully short too: water, white fungus, bird\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nest, rock sugar, and vanilla.  So it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an organic fuck drink, I stand corrected. <\/p>\n<p>I popped the top open to find myself inhaling a rather unusual smell for a beverage.  It smells like a Chinese bakery, a really good one that has fresh baked buns, cakes, and tarts.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually one of my favorite kinds of smells when I was a kid, visiting bakeries in Toronto on the way to see my relatives.  Although, it is a bit strange to smell baked goods just before you fuck; nothing like a freshly baked pie before you get your pie!<\/p>\n<p>It gets worse.  Although, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll admit, how good can a drink based on a soup loaded with bird hock really be?  Especially if it looks like the toilet bowl at my work, loaded with piss and toilet paper?  Nice Look Drink, my ass.  I should have bought the Ass Am Milk Tea instead.  At least you get what you pay for, literally.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left;padding-right:10px;border:none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/nicelookdrink2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It feels thicker than water, like sugar syrup, and the fungus\/bird\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nest feels pretty gelatinous on the tongue.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kind of like a thin egg drop soup, so to speak.  <\/p>\n<p>How does it taste?  It almost tastes like Yeo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s White Gourd drink (similar smell, too), with a sweet bread\/cookie-ish taste to it.  That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not to say it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not.  There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also this floweriness to it that peaks in the aftertaste.  And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never been much of a fan of flowers in food.  I think it feminizes the food somehow.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sort of like dressing Batman up with pink or Scottish plaid external underwear instead of the black underwear.  It just doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I was in California, cause then I could recycle this crap and get 5 cents back, which I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d use for a cheap tranny hooker.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 godawful can &#8211; 72 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 12 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 1 grams of dietary fiber, 17 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 400% DV of bird hawk.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Nice Look Drink<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>$1.29<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 250 ml<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> China Mart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 1 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Chinese bakery smell.
