Horny Goat Weed


They look happy, don't they? A friend of mine (thanks Omar!) spotted this wacky poster at a pharmacy at the Crowne Plaza, Dubai. I had to share it with you. Now you know where to go when you run out.

If anyone's in need of a brand naming consultant, Horny Goat Weed would be it. Jokes aside though, I did do some more research on this thing and apparently there's quite an interesting history to Horny Goat Weed.

"Horny Goat Weed is used in traditional Chinese medicine and is native to China. Hundreds of years ago, a goat herder noticed incessant sexual behaviour in his goats. He observed the goats and noticed whenever they ate certain weeds, the goats promiscuous behaviour became even more noticeable - hence Horny Goat Weed...[it] has been used as an aphrodisiac for hundreds of years and research has also proven its effects in improving sexual desire and performance."
