Drink for good health!!!

While I was in the UK, most of us basically drank tap water. It was free (fixed rate), it was clean (well, sort of. Cos now they use this special type of filter that filters impurities in the water)

And it was icy cold. But of course its cold!! Its the UK!! Which is why cold showers are not meant to be taken lightly in the UK.

The second drink found in the fridge are the beers!! Ok, I'm not a regular drinker, and I usually drink whenever I have friends over. But my friends are avid drinkers, which was probably why I drank so much too.

The 3rd is Coke Zero!!!



Coca-Cola claims that Coke Zero was a 'zero-calorie' drink, which was different from Diet Coke which was a 'zero-sugar' drink. Anyhow, there was a purported ad campaign from Coke about Coke Zero not being a 'zero-calorie' drink but rather a 'calorie-burning' drink!! That makes it healthier than water!! Apparently, Coke's rationale was that since Coke Zero tastes ssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, you would drink more, and when you drink more, you bend your arm towards your mouth, and thats exercising!! Coke claims that by doing this repetitively, you will lose 0.5 calories for every litre consumed this way. Great marketing strategy-lah.


Coke Zero was so good, that when Thean came over, he drank almost a bottle a day. His gf Hui Yuan can't complain; they WERE zero-calorie of course and with Coke's original taste, was Thean's dream drink. I think that when he left back for KL, he also had brought along with him 2 two litres of Coke Zero with him. Of course, that's just a myth....

And now, I have finally seen Coke Zero in the Malaysian supermarkets!!!



Note: RM3.29 a can. Think about it. Also, need I remind you about the Aspartame Scare thats currently going on. Yes, Coke Zero uses aspartame.
