A staple Chinese pharmacy / supermarket format: a small glass vial with a foil cap, containing 10 ml of bitter-sweet syrup. Iconic brands include 念慈菴枇杷膏 (Pei Pa Koa cough syrup), 太太口服液 (women's tonic), and 脑白金 (the late-night-TV-ad brain supplement, basically melatonin). Often given as gifts to elderly relatives during holidays.
