While many people enjoy a whiskey on the rocks or a cold glass of lager, Jessica Simpson has surprised fans with her unusual choice of drink. The singer recently shared that she takes a Chinese herbal mixture which includes snake sperm to prepare her voice for performances.
This may sound surprising, and there’s no scientific proof that snake sperm helps vocal cords. (Let’s pause here to mention: it’s not something experts recommend.) Still, Jessica has explained why she continues with this unusual remedy.
To understand better, let’s look at what she actually said.
In a short clip posted on Instagram last Friday (March 28), Jessica mentioned: “People ask, ‘What are you drinking?’ It’s this Chinese herb thing. My vocal coach recommended it, and when they searched the ingredients, they found snake sperm.”
A friend in the background reacted with shock and asked if it was like a tea. Jessica responded: “It’s more like honey. So, if you want a strong vocal performance, you drink snake sperm.”
Not surprisingly, the reaction online has been lively. One person joked: “Jessica’s out here trusting mystery remedies for her voice—turns out it’s snake juice with extra protein!”
Another commented: “Her routine sounds like something out of a sci-fi show. But hey, if it helps, it helps.”
Even with the comments, Jessica remains confident in her choice. Speaking to a TMZ reporter at LAX airport on Sunday (April 6), she shared: “It really clears my throat. Honestly, I sing better when I’ve had it.”
When asked if she would keep drinking it, she replied without hesitation: “Of course! Are you kidding me? Yes!”
She even added with a laugh: “Maybe I’ll create my own version someday.”
People on social media continued the conversation. One person said: “If she likes it, let her enjoy it.” Another added: “So, snake sperm is her vocal trick? Interesting.”
A third person joked: “If it works for her, it works. Maybe next time someone will try frog products!”
As for me, I think I’ll just stick with water.
