Tiger Bone Powder

In 2011, Charlie Sheen famously declared that he had tiger blood, with nobody quite sure if this claim was metaphorical or if he’d been phlebotomising large predators in his time off. As it turns out, “tiger blood” might’ve been a euphemism for full-blown AIDS, which he later revealed he had. AIDS is but one of the many conditions that tiger bone powder will not cure, along with literally every other disease known to man. A placebo ingredient taken by intelligence-averse individuals, tiger bone powder is prohibited and highly prized, yet is often substituted with cow or pig bones by unscrupulous sellers. Nonetheless, harbingers of this macabre tradition insist that swallowing calcium dust scraped from a dead predator makes them strong. In reality it works about as well as snorting the leftovers of a KFC bargain bucket.
