Traditionally pho does have anise.
Which is why Pho is literally medicine.
A chemical intermediate does not mean a medicine, just a chemical needed to make one chemical into another that is a medicine... Pho is freaking fantastic though.
It was probably the primary cause of demand by this number
Those poor star anise farmers; the price must have plummeted so hard. I hope Roche used their own exclusive plantations, at least.
Well food is medicine sorta
That stopped being words two thirds of the way through
Fair enough.
And it’s still impossible to get Tamiflu
You don’t use oseltsmivir?
I like your funny words magic man
You could just say "leaves from that one bush"
TIL star anise has exactly 2 acceptable uses.
Pho enough
Sounds like the name of a guy from Belarus
My pharmacy has a generous stock. We got about 3 manufacturers of it. If you’re okay with generic. We also are one of few that have amox 400/5 in stock in the market as well.

It's actually a really good example of a monopsony, where there are many sellers but only one buyer. The only other example that I can come up with off the top of my head is barley in South Africa, where there are hundreds of farmers who grow barley but South African Brewing buys 90% of all the barley grown in the country.
Hmm, there was a couple of years where it was fucking impossible to find Star Anise, I wonder if this had to do with it.
That's good. Its also just you have to have it Rx'd very early on in flu symptoms, when most people think its just a cold or haven't got to the doctor yet
In what way?
Now they ferment e coli instead. That's crazy.
That's a tight anise threshold.
Pho sho
