Silly me, fancy giving you blokes an opening for revenge. [biggrin]

My Chinese wife isn't sure, but her uncle says it's a medicated ointment. Your rub it on your tummy if got wind, or temples if got headache.

[bob10]

Tiger balm. First catch your tiger. A bit like liniment.

[tact]

This the same stuff in different packaging. (The Chinese characters are the same you'd notice)

Thanks Neil, it only took twenty-two replies to get a sensible answer. [bigrolf]
Basically snake oil, eh?
TMFPP bought a number of sealed removalists' boxes for $5, like a grown-ups (?) lucky dip.
One of the boxes was full of white ties, another brand new giftwares and a couple with personal effects, obviously from a Chinese household. Anybody want to buy a soy milk maker? [biggrin]

My wife's cousin says the text says "Burns Cock Off" but if you like, you can use it as a KY jelly substitute.

I think you should ignore cousin Karen's advice. [biggrin]

You're welcome. (But do ignore Karen's advice! Always one like her in a family). ;)

[bob10]

In a former life as an RAN sailor in the far East, A Chinese girlfriend, as opposed to a Chinese girl who was a friend, introduced me to Tiger Balm, and the ancient art of Chinese massage. After each rugby game, or each punch up in Sambawang , all my aches & pains were massaged away . All you have to do now Ian, is find a Chinese girlfriend, who is a friend, and not a girlfriend.

[tact]

And this just in from an Aunt: It's an embrocation liniment.
(Yeah, I had to google "embrocation")

[bob10]

Tiger balm

[V8Ian]

Confusius say "Girlfriend with Tiger Balm not remain so for long." :firedevil:

You wantee sensible answer, you mustee askee sensible questionee.

Sheesh.

[ramblingboy42]

hmmm, ....22 replies before a sensible would be some sort of record here. usually it would be many more.

[solmanic]

The literal translation in Japanese, character by character is something like "over seal oil". Japanese just uses a lot of Chinese characters which generally mean the same thing although they are said differently.

Soy milk maker?

Tell me more.....I drink soy instead of milk

[V8Ian]

It's very much like a kitchen wizz type thing, stick in some soy beans and drizzle in water.

[ramblingboy42]

Do you know how many soy beans to the litre?

[V8Ian]

No, we were shown by a Japanese girl who was very blase about it, as if she'd been doing it longer than she could talk. That's why we drizzled the water in, stop once you have the desired consistency, then strain.

[Don 130]

This one means oil

油

And this means rubbing oil, but not massage oil (the last two characters match with the lower two on the bottle)
摩擦油

Don

[pop058]

Do you know how many soy beans to the litre?

2135 ? (about 8 kgs) [wink11]

How much kg of soyabean can produce 1 liter of oil? - Quora (https://www.quora.com/How-much-kg-of-soyabean-can-produce-1-liter-of-oil)

[ramblingboy42]

funny how it can make oil or a milk.

[Chops]

funny how it can make oil or a milk.

Get the mixture wrong,,, you'll either be full or clean [bighmmm]

[DiscoMick]

No help to you, but my Korean - fluent friend says it's definitely not Korean and he doesn't recognize any of the characters, which is interesting as there is a lot of crossover between the two languages.
Our best guess is some kind of oil for massage or cooking.

[Tote]

Download the Pleco app and use the camera to take a picture of the characters...
That should tell you

vietnamese......

these are china dolls Bob

[bob10]

They all speak the same language, believe me.

[DiscoMick]

Non-verbal communication?

[bob10]

That would be sexist, or some other ist, in this new World. Suffice to say, my experience is all Women are magical creatures, who hold us men in the palm of their hand. And a young man in Asia , in the 70's, was given an education. One of the few things in Asia in those times, that I can smile about. Anyway, about china dolls.....
