A Series of Unfortunate Food Flavours

This is blardy suay beyond suay.

Des and I had lunch the other day with Fang, Silie and Candy.

Because we needed some small change to settle the payment (since Silie paid on our behalf first), we decided to all buy some ice cream to break up the $50 note.

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy. If you are re-reading this post 10 years down the road, remember that even very yummy ice cream can go wrong!

I told myself, ice cream leh! Probably one of the best foods in the world. What can go wrong, right?

RIGHT!

So I saw this new blardy flavour available.

It was called Sea Salt and Caramel.

Sounds delicious, I thought. I don't know why but after reading the word 'Sea Salt', I kept salivating non-stop. I find myself having to swallow my saliva much more often and then decided, what the hell, just try lah.

Bad idea.

It was refreshing at first. You know, salty ice cream. It was salty yet cold. Add on the very nice caramel aroma and it was delicious.

But the more I ate, the more the saltiness became overwhelming. I find myself forcing down the ice cream instead.

I learnt a lesson from this; if you eat something you don't really like, especially if it is something really salty, your blood pressure actually rises and you get a weird sort of headache; the epitome of sian-ness.

If you think it sounds disgusting enough and foodstuff probably can't any worse; picture this.

Des and I having drinks at the kopitiam. Being a *ahem* gentleman that he is, he gallantly poured the Coke Zero for me from the can, into the cup of ice.

I was halfway through finishing the drink when I picked up the can and swirled it around abit, seeing if there were anymore left inside.

There was. I felt the weight and could feel the remaining liquid, so I emptied the contents directly into my cup.

It was a few sips after that that I could not help but realise the Coke Zero was tasting funny.

I told Des to try it out for himself because I am very sure that the Coke Zero was tasting funny.

The fella replied me after a few mouthfuls "Tastes just like Coke Zero what.. Sucky taste."

I pressed the top of the straw to create pressure so that a portion of the drink gets 'sucked' into the straw and stayed there.

I peered at it until I became cross-eyed and noticed distinctive pieces of CIGARETTE ASH floating around in it. That was when Des asked if I poured from the can into my drink, because he was already using it as an ASH TRAY.








Fantastic.

Coke Zero, freaking Cigarette Ash flavoured.

Come try one today!
