Standing Tall



I was strolling in Giant's South City Plaza for my usual weekend grocery shopping. Then i noticed this so called 'limited edition' dates drink produced by coca-cola company. Out of curiosity of the taste, i decided to buy this tiny lil 240ml can which costs Rm1.49 (expensive!).

Talking about standing tall... Malaysian ought to be called tall if we can even reach 150cm height. My height is way beyond that. And in the context of this drink. YES! IT FALLS WAYYY SHORT OF MY EXPECTATIONS.

First, it doesnt have the original kurma taste. Juz like the canned cincau, which is far from the original. Secondly, its way too sweet! even when chilled... (for those who don't know. Fruit juices is sweeter at room temperature, and even more sweeter at body temperature. Scientific details? Juz like my lecturers like to say: "Go Google it urself.") What the hell with 'No preservatives' but pumped in a whole lot of cane sugar.

Lastly, Seasons Red Dates with Longan drink tastes 10x (not exaggerating) better and costs only 89 cents.
