I really like gravy, and I enjoy more salt then the average human. Thus I like bouillon cubes. It's that handy dandy snack that says "I'm a successful young man who has not time to carry around a bowl full of gravy." One handy dandy cube could last me an hour of pure meaty delight. All it takes is a little nibble, and my mouth explodes into a flavorful celebration complete with mountains of gravy and thousands of dancing leprechauns!
(they're magical and can live in my mouth.)
Chicken or beef? That is the question.

REALLY?!? You EAT bouillon cubes?? ... DRY?!?!
You are so weird. But as your sister-in-law, I'll continue to love you. (but maybe I'll hide my cubes of flavor when you come over...) ;)
Love, have you been raiding the bouillon cube jar again? I thought I told you to stay out of that! Onion bouillon cubes only.
wow! Thats so intersting!!! I do the same thing!!
I get like.. these salt rushes. As we speak, I have beef bouillon flavoring next to me!!
I love gravy, broth, bouillon, salt, and accent!
I don't know why that is... at least I know there another out there, just like me! =D
I'm not sure if its unhealthy.. I have a high metabolism and don't gain weight, so maybe I'm safe!
If you know any reasons for this, please do e-mail me at, remirem300@ymail.com!
I absolutely love beef boullion cubes. I nibble on them. It takes me about a half an hour to eat one. I like to curl up with a good book and cherish one. I have loved them since I was little. I am 28 now. LOL.
thought i was alone too... i've loved these cubes since i was little, am 28 now too, just ate one 5 minutes ago (love to nibble or place a little bit on the roof of the mouth so my saliva is always tasty) and got curious... are they harmful or not really?
---ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS---
Trust me. I'm a Professional.
The dentist also couldn't find a single cavity yesterday, after what could only be described as a witch hunt.
Me, too! The only problem I have is moderation so sometimes I get puffy eyes. One day I'll keel over with atherosclerosis, I am sure. My arteries will probably just crystalize.
ccUUBES
YUMM
i just ate one yesterday. yum yum.
i eat them too.... i was wondering if anyone else did... lol but my boyfriend wont kiss me after cuz they make me taste funny lol!!
o_____o
For years, I thought for sure I was the only one who did this. Man, I'm glad it's not as weird as I thought lol. That being said, beef all the way. The chicken ones just sort of don't have the same... richness to them, I guess.
Beef, hands down. It has to be the right kind too - nothing with salt substitute in it. In a pinch, the flavor packets out of ramen noodles will work. :)
I enjoy a good beef boullion cube to snack on too. It's a tasty nibble of extreme flavor. I've caught a lot of crap for it, but have no plans of stopping.
I used to eat the granulated beef bouillon from wyler's because it had the best flavor. Then they stopped selling it in my area so I actually bought some online today. Crazy yes, but so good. As long as you don't over eat it, because it is salt you will be fine.
Meeee Tooooo!!!! I love beef! I crave it so bad sometimes that I have to have it, lol. The Herb Ox brand is my favorite.
OMG i cant believe that im not the only one who does it!!! i just ate one and i was thinking imma google to see if its really bad to enjoy a beef cube every once and a while ... im soo glad i am among friends and colleagues! VIVA LA BULLION REVOLUTION!
I was nomming on a chicken cube when I decided to Google "I eat bouillon cubes" when this website came up. I'm so glad to see there are so many of us. We really should start a club.
Ahah. I did the same. Just ate a bouillon cube and decided to Google it. Chicken!!! So salty. Takes a little while to lick through it. I feel like a deer with a salt rock haha.
I'm a girl from Portugal who also loves bouillon cubes. I began gobbling them down when I was a kid. But then I turned vegetarian, and spent almost 20 years without one. You see, we didn't have veggie cubes here back then. When they became available, I nearly killed myself in an orgy of salty goodness.
Like the rest of you, I came here while attempting to find out if I was alone in the Universe. To my utmost joy, I've found out I'm not! But probably I'm still the only one in Europe.
Greetings from across the Atlantic. Drink plenty of water, my American friends, and enjoy yourselves.
and: no you cannot make soup in your stomich.. :(
Like most of you, I found this page while sucking on a bouillon- chicken ;) I'm out of beef right now.
Same story basically too, been suckin em for years! I also used to drink teriyaki as a kid, straight from the bottle.
I have enjoyed bullion cubes since I was child. I eat mine differently apparently from everyone else. I just leave them wrapped in the aluminum foil, and just bite down on it slightly and suck on it.
I don't think it's weird at all that so many enjoy bullion cubes. They are salty, savory and amazing. As a child a friend introduced me to them and she ate them shoved into half of a lemon. The combination of salty, beefy flavor with the sour lemon is unlike anything I have encountered. Very addictive.
Joy! I am not the only one.
I was wondering if it was harmful.... but since soo many others eat them, I guess I will continue the habit
:D
I do this too, we should start a club!
Hooray! I'm not alone in this weirdness.
OMG!love to eat bullion and personally I don't care the flavor.... However chicken seem to be best for me. But I also like eating the ramen flavoring as well....sooooo good! Eat on be happy!;-)
I thought I was the only one even my wife thought I was crazy but now I go to Sams Club and buy them in bulk (chicken). And yes i too have a craving for gravy. I've been known to substitute chicken bouillon cube with poultry gravy mix when I run out
I had to laugh when I read your comment but isn't there a club for anything and everything
I eat cubes. Beef only love the way they taste.
Glad there is so many more like myself.
I thought I was alone! LoL! They are so good! (If you like salt. LoL!) I eat like one a day. 😃
I discovered them as a way to stave off hunger. Love me some beef cubes. I lick them; nibble them; bite chunks; whatever the need.I too thought I was alone. So happy to know I'm not!!!

I can't believe i didn't Google this earlier.I thought I was so weird...glad to know I'm not alone. I would however like to know if it's unhealthy to eat like one a day, everyday for years.
I feel like there's only like 10 people commenting to make ourselves feel better about eating bullion.
I randomly Googled this bc i thought of my dad telling me he used to grab one for an after school snack. Haha I totally thought he was kidding. Guess not. Not sure why I thought I thought of this like 15 years later.

Omggg I'm not alone!!! I do this secretly and I'm addicted!!
I eat them, I'm honestly trying to resist raiding the cubes at the moment haha
It is nice to know I am not the only one who adores bullion cubes
I enjoy one with a tall glass of ice cold milk (most preferred whole or 2%) and watch YouTube
My husband worries about my health so he refuses to buy them :'( it's been about two months and I went back picking my lips I need to convince him this habit isn't bad
Just sitting here eating a bullion cube and wondering if I'm weird.
omg lol im 12 years old and since i was 6 i would pour salt in my hand and eat it lol but i LOVE bullion cubes more than life
Ok! This is so crazy. Yes, of course, I am sucking on a bouillon cube right now. Had NO idea that anyone would ever do this besides me!
But it gets crazier! I just showed my husband this site and he finally confessed to me (after 12 years of being together) that his ex does it too!!!! Same brand and also right before bed.
Best way I've found to stick to a veg. diet. Late nights I crave SNACKS!!! Boullion keeps that wolf from the door. I can wake in the morning proud that I didn't succumb to temptation.
Like everything I've read, I felt like I was the only one who loved to nibble on a bouillon cube. I'm not as weird as I thought! Lol! I definitely crave salt. When I was younger I loved sitting in front of the tv with a lemon cut in half and a salt shaker. I just read where someone put a cube in the lemon... why didn't I ever think of that?!?!. But yea I love salty stuff, the only side affect I have had of it was a few years ago I think I consumed an entire bouillon cube maybe more and I woke the next morning swollen, my face, my hands, my feet. It did scare me a bit. But it's like an addiction to me i can't stop.
I'm replying to my own post.. chicken bouillian, chicken ramen middle seasoning... yummmm!
These chicken bouillon cubes have saved my life I literally would drink salt By drink I mean eat of the salt container I'm only 17 no problem so far but I'm pretty sure a bullion Cube is a lot healthier than drinking salt out of a salt shaker again chicken all the way man and I don't know why but I still like Ramen packets more
I am actually really happy to see I'm not alone here.
ok i do this - ALOT i feel a lot better knowing i have fellow cube eaters...
I've been eating beef bullion cubes since I was about 3 years old (1977). I never liked the chicken ones. I also used to eat piles of salt out of my palms. I mostly stopped doing it as an adult due to health concerns but every once in a while I remember and then get the craving (usually years apart) and enjoy some more cubes. I assumed I was the only one in the world to do this. Nice to know I'm not alone. I just enjoyed a cube and decided to Google,"I suck on bullion cubes like candy"
I just googled is there a danger to eating them and found this page. I've been eating them since I can remember �� so glad I'm not the only one. Currently eating chicken right now lol
Reading this blog and its comments gave me so much joy as my beef Herb Ox disappears into the nothingness of my gullet. Discovered these babies back in like fourth grade in the nineties but it was the Wylers that my mom got back then. Cube gang
I am eating a chicken bouillon cube reading these glad I'm not the only one.
Dude, love the Wyler's beef cubes because they stay together like a lozenge, but the chicken seem to powderize and fall apart before I can fully enjoy! Love it with lemon juice for sure! ;)
I found this while sucking on a wylers chicken bouillon cube. Im glad I'm not the only one. I love salt so much and I have since I was little. I definitely need to try the beef ones now
wow...i googled "Is it safe to eat uncooked boullion cubes?" and this came up. So glad I came accross this and see that I'm not the only one!...I thought I was a weirdo for sure! lol
Love them for my keto diet beef or chicken both are great i cut them into 8 cubes so i can enjoy them longer and there less noticable
Granny kept a big jar of beefies in a lower cabinet and I clearly recall toddler me helping myself while she worked in the kitchen. They were poor, but she always made sure to have cubes for me. Fifty years later, beef Wylers are still my jam. I’ll suck the foil until the cube inside is soft, then unwrap and break off little chunks of goodness. Sounds like we all have our methods to achieve that savory, salty satisfaction! Kroger brand beef aren’t terrible in a pinch, either (I can’t speak to chicken flavor). Anyone can crave ice cream, I’m proud to be part of the Cube Club with y’all!
Yep; ~10yrs ago I used to nom on'cubes all the time. Haven't lately but found this site looking for cold remedies.
I guess I'll be the first in 2022 to comment and yes I'm eating a beef bouillon cube right now. Always snuck them as a kid and now eat them freely as an adult. *I have other adhd friends who enjoy them* Extra Salty and sour candies are highly enjoyed by those diagnosed with adhd. Just something to ponder while you snack on your cube.
I so this too all my life. turns out, I need to I was dx with gitelman syndrom. I need to to keep salt into my system. I thought it was odd as well.. now it allake sense.
Right here with you (although 2022 is almost to an end) I absolutely love the beef cubes, helps keep me from eating junk Right before bed
I've always liked weird meat flavored stuff for as long as I can remember. I'm surprised there are this many others lol, the only thing that's concerning is the salt though. That can get dangerous. :(
Sucking on a beef bullion cube right now. I'm years late but I just love the salty and savory flavor of a cube straight out of the jar. I don't know if eating multiple in one sitting is bad though.
The first in 2024 to comment! Yes I'm eating BEEF right now! I've been eating cubes since I was a kid, 40 now. Sometimes I eat two or three in a row. I suck on them like candy!
