Oxo.
« on: 30 September 2009, 18:33:04 »
Got back to the yard today, crumbled a beef (red) oxo into a cup, poured hot water in and drank it. Only one person of several said they used to drink hot oxo as a kid, the rest stood gormless & wide eyed.
     Each to thier own but i've drunk it all my life so was surprised so many had'nt!!! :o

Bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. I'm not a big fan, much prefer a nice strong cuppa Yorkshire Tea :y

I used to take the cubes to work -- makes a nice warming drink at lunchtime.  Mind you I haven't had an oxo drink in many a year -- wonder if my taste buds have changed !!!

Loved it as a kid, even more so when the chicken oxo came out, used to demolish half a loaf in the proccess   ( DIP YER BREAD  :P :P)
