Assi brand sac sac grape beverage

Little 8oz can can . 65 cent for 125 cals. Says something in Korean and I see a whole bunch of grapes. Ok I think Ill buy it. I actually had it sit around for about 2 months before I got around to trying it. So I popped open the can. I was pouring it into a glass of ice when the surprising thing happens and something pops out. What happened, I think to myself. Didnt look like a roach part...

I was a little grape! I look inside the can and there are a whole bunch of little grapes. Lol. That was weird. So I go try it. Taste wise its pleasant, like one of those, carbonated grape juices. Smells like that too.The grape itself was verry squishy but it. Definitely was a nice color. How did they do that.... super preservatives?

Verdict: give it to a friend for a surprise! Lol.

Carabao energy drink

I was reading that this is a competitor to the Thai version of red bull. The carabao is a water buffalo or something, and because they are tough. The drink has some weird ingredients... like nicotinamide. Yes nicotine! Along with the regular taurine, caffeine, etc. Given the nocotine, I was slightly hesitant to drinking it, but given that Thai drivers supposedly drink several ans a day, i figured one should be ok.

On to the drink. It came out tasting more like a sweet soda. The color was a nice orange and there was no unpleasant smell. It kind of burned the esophagus so I gave it to someone else to finish. I mean, a drink shouldn't burn your esophagus right?

I think the 8.5oz (250ml) can is more then enough for a person. Smelling the can again, it is sort of mediciny, but it didn't taste that way. 150 cals for such a little bottle, no wonder it was so sweet.

Verdict:
I would try another one but I wouldn't go out of my way. I liked the taste, it was very nice, but not the burn.

Paldo Aloe Vera drink

Paldo Aloe vera drink manufactured in Korea. Small bottle, 180ml, which is about 6oz. That’s a small drink! But costs 75 cents so that is not too bad. The green bottle hides the actual color of the drink which is a hazy colorless mixture. Smells, fruity. Like someone inhaling some tropical fruit . How does it taste? But before that I have to say, there are little chunks of aloe floating around. Nice touch. The texture of the drink without the aloe chunks is heavy, meaning it is not like water, its slower to move, by a microsecond. Taste is not too sweet, pleasant, one can almost call it bland in a way. Definitely fits the aloeness. Other than the small bottle size, no complaints. only 80 calories too.

Verdict: would try again, but wouldnt go out of my way to get it
