I am pretty sure I have seen this @drinkalmighty sh1t around before, but I don’t ever remember seeing it served up in a can and I don’t know what sort of voodoo psychological bullsh1t goes into the marketing of a product, but this spoke to me. Literally.
Maybe it was all that green or perhaps the way sh1tty fluorescent lighting reflected off the can in the supermarket or perhaps it was a lack of sleep the night before, but literally it spoke to me. Like the voice of the Almighty, a booming voice reverberated from above, stopping me in my tracks and compelling me to listen:
“Buy that one. Yes, that sh1t right there. You have been chosen to purchase that one. You will like it, and all will be good and right.”
With my mouth agape in shock, I reached up a shaking hand into the refrigerated drink cabinet and plucked one from the shelf. Still in a daze, I shuffled to the checkout and finalised my purchase.
As I left the shop, I pondered the religious experience and stopped to ask a fellow shopper in the parking lot if they had heard the voice also. I then discovered that this voice I heard was merely a new marketing technique the supermarket was trying out, hardly the voice of a divine being, it was actually one of the friendly staff speaking through the stores PA system. A dirty, but effective trick!
I wasn’t overly upset though. I now held in my hand a cold, healthy drink that surely would help me cope with the muggy air around me.
Pouring into a glass – The brilliant orange colour was almost akin to staring into the face of God. Carrots are filled with beta carotene, a well known orange pigment, turmeric is also brightly coloured yellow/orange and an orange is literally called an ‘orange’ for sh1ts sake. No wonder this drink is more orange than should be allowed to exist at a single point in time and space. Is there such thing as an ‘orangehole’?
This tasted a combination of orange juice and a rich sweet carrot flavour. Maybe a bit of turmeric in there… just kind of tasted healthy, rich flavour and delicious.
Worthy of your almighty dollars – 8/10
