Similarly, Tom Kha has always been my go to cold/hangover cure. It's immediately refreshing and I always feel physically better after eating/drinking it. The spices, ginger, and coconut do some heavy lifting for sure
Isomalt is a sugar substitute, a mixture of the two disaccharide alcohols 1,6-GPS and 1,1-GPM. It is used primarily for its sugar-like physical properties. It has little to no impact on blood sugar levels, and does not stimulate the release of insulin.
What the hell are soup drops? National Soup month?? Is this a shitpost?
No this is a souppost.
No no, they are real and I actually like them.
Negative. Regret to inform friend that this shit is, in fact, real.
They're basically bouillon but fashioned to be used as suppositories.
SOUP NITE
If there were no abominations such as this, how I ask, would we know paradise?
I... Hmm. What a strange concept. I don't know how to feel about this one...
Savoury, soup flavored hard candy.

It is in fact strange and I can see how it's not for everyone, but I like them.
I would 100% buy these if they came in Thai tom yum soup flavor

That would be amazing.
Are they... sweet? Like... soup candy? Or are they more meaty and salty and savory like... well... soup tends to be?
From what I remember seeing posted before about them, they are salty. And apparently the flavor is rather bad.
NB: I’ve never tried them, and have no experience with soup… candy…
um.
There is a hint of sweetness from the isomalt, but overall they are savory.
I thought this was a meme. TIL
But wouldn't it just taste like cold/lukewarm soup? Sure there are some soups that are served cold or whatever, but it ain't Progresso.
No, not quite. It's the same as if you were eating a hard candy, just savory instead of sweet.
What are the ingredients? I hope it's not too exciting
Just like Mom used to make!
I had no idea what isomalt is :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomalt
The main ingredient is a artificial sugar! Neat.
Yea, it's because it's not nearly as sweet as real sugar but can still act as the proper binder for the "candy"
Just be careful. Sugar alcohols like isomalt can cause stomach issues and diarrhea.
Did you also watch Seth Meyers try them?
I don't know who that is.
