I drink actual stock from boiled bones. So good for you. I get the DDs to drink it too. Grin

Nothing wrong with an oxo cube mixed in boiling water on cold days Grin

I love Oxo drink- especially with dunking crusty bread in. Mmmmm!

A few years ago I suffered horrendously with IBS and went through a bout of really bad D and V. Dr recommended Oxo drinks plus flat coke (not together though) as the sugar and salt combinations replace the electrolytes lost during the illness.

It worked for me!

My DH EATS oxo cubes

When I was at junior school we had a fad for taking an Oxo cube to eat during morning playtime. You had to sort of nibble it a bit at a time.

I cannot believe so many of you people have even considered this weirdness!

Tinuviel · 29/04/2012 22:23

Oxo is great as a hot drink! Can't stand Bovril though.

WorraLiberty · 29/04/2012 22:25

Oh this so reminds me of my Mum Grin

She used to drink a mug of Oxo and dip bits of bread in it.

My Sister was weird though...she used to hide Oxo cubes under her pillow and nibble them at night?!?

muffinflop · 29/04/2012 23:04

JarethTheGoblinKing · 29/04/2012 23:14

It's just bovril though, that's not weird Hmm

I fucking hate it, but it's not like people are drinking out of toilets or something?

I love eating Oxo cubes. So much, that I don't buy them because I'll only eat them.

Can't beat a good suck on an Oxo.

This has just reminded me that the swimming pool I went to as a kid had a hot drink vending machine, which dispensed hot Oxo drink as well as tea and coffee. Those hot Oxo drinks really hit the spot after going swimming.

Recently I have started to have a Knorr veggie cube in hot water as well.
