Thirst Quenchers

What is it about Asian products that makes me smile? A trip to the supermarket requires no less than reading every name on the shelf and wondering which new item to try this time.

Being Asian, the sense of novelty is a bit dulled by the fact that I'm already used to eating beans as desserts, fish as balls, and squid as beer snack but...hey, some things still make me smile.

Observe... the wonder that is the soft drinks & juices aisle. The aloe drink on the lower right has floaty aloe bits and can be refreshing when refrigerated. "Whatever" and "Anything" are sugary drinks without a distinctive taste, I'm afraid. Heaven & Earth jasmine green tea is nice although slightly too sweet for me. I haven't tried "Pi Pa Mi" yet but soon...

Ha! I especially love the Whatever? and Anything? titles. Too bad they don't live up to the hype.

Personally I'm still stuck on Ting soda from spring break in Jamaica sophmore year, or was that junior year? So long ago...can still taste the grapefruit.

Btw, Pi Pa Mi means honey-taste fruit (pi pa) juice. Pi Pa is good for the lungs so my father says.
