STRANGE
DRINKS
  
Here at Lemon Fresh we believe
that life is only as strange as its strangest drinks . So we went searching
for the strangest drinks in the world (well at Safeway anyway) ......
FRESNO
Description: A
new-agey sparkling drink in herbal flavours like Elderflower and Orange
and Bergamot.
Packaging: Very
groovy. Would appeal to bohemians in Fitzroy I think.
Comments: Definitely
strange. Quite refreshing.............its delicious !
Enjoy With: Risotto.
Score: 7
FEELING SEEDY
Description:
a "kudzu based
revive drink" that is aimed at the hung-over. Kudzu is "a plant used extensively
in Japan and China.......for hangovers, migraines and stomach upsets........it
gives a natural elevating feeling".
Packaging:
cheap and crappy.
Comments: tastes
like Lucozade. Seemed to help my hangover.
Enjoy With: Sausage
rolls, any chicken dish, lamb chops (see Notes About Foods)
Score: 8
PICKFORDS OLD STYLE KOLA BEER
Description: home-style
cola
Packaging: Ye
Olde Sovereign Hill style label
Comments: Tastes
flat and syruppy. I can’t imagine who would buy this over a regular cola.
Drinking the whole thing would give you a headache.
Enjoy with: some Anzac
cookies at your Nanna’s house.
Score: 6
VIPER
Description: "a
chocolate, Guarana and cola drink with real BITE". In other words, a sickly
sweet syrup made to cash in on the popularity of a crap substitute for
coffee.
Packaging: Has
a hissing Viper on it. Not appealing to my eye. Maybe Nine Inch Nails fans
might like it.
Comments: By
the time this article goes to print (if it ever does) this product will
not be on the market.
Enjoy with: Tabs
of herbal ecstasy.
Score:
1
KAFFE
Description: a coffee
flavoured soft drink
Packaging: pear shaped
bottle with a picture of two lovers pashing.
Comments: If you like
coffee you will not like this.
Enjoy with: coffee
flavoured chewing gum.
Score: 2
KINNIE
Description: a dry,
sparkling soft-drink with a citrus-rind/herbal flavour. Made locally.
Packaging:
Very cheap.
Comments: I can imagine
an old lady drinking this in the space of Drops On the Rocks or Claytons.
Tastes Okay but will never hit the big time unless Michael Jordon starts
drinking it. (unlikely)
Enjoy with: crackers
as a pre-dinner tipple. (serve with ice)
Score: 7
