Greetings from Hungary!

It tasted great!

@lovasip Little too sweet for my taste. They need to use dark chocolate as the base for their "remedies"

How was ten23 in Hungary?

@WayneDV We held it in three cities here. We took Gelsemium Sempervirens 15C, a poisonous herbal remedy. :) It was a protest because here homeopathic pills are registered as medical drugs without any evidence for the efficacy and safety of the registered remedy. They are officially accepted solely on the base that they are harmless because "there is nothing in it"

We had considerable media coverage.

And a few beers afterwards.
