The Post Where I Reveal A Little Too Much April 17, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Asia, Daily Life, Kansas, Princess Hannah, Texas , 7commentsNot all food tastes the same all over the world. Really. When I was in Taiwan, we ordered a combination pizza from Domino’s. (Which, by the way, is NEVER a good idea when in a foreign country) Sounds safe, right? It came with corn, shrimp, and broccoli on the top.
NOT KIDDING.
I’m a quick learner. I now know NOT to order American food in Asia because is just doesn’t taste right.
But . . .
Did you know that Doritos and Coke and all other beverages and chips taste slightly different too? Okay, the word slightly might not be a strong enough word.
I’m not a Coke drinker. I’m a Dr. Pepper girl. But, I’m pretty sure Dr. Pepper isn’t available in Asia because all I could find was Coke. Now I know Coke and D.P. are TOTALLY different, but I would order a Coke in lieu of my unavailable preferred drink.
Like I said, I’m not a Coke drinker, but I do know that Coke in the USA DOES NOT taste like Coke in China.
Please don’t argue and offend my discriminating taste buds.
Now, I have a concerning secret to share . . .
I still have an unopened Coke can from Taiwan from like four years ago.
This is weird. Tell me this is weird.
It’s unopened, and after all this time, the longer is goes unopened, the more I can’t bring myself to do it.
Now, I’m not sure what’s more concerning:
- That this Coke is older than Hannah
- That this Coke traveled all the way from Taiwan to Kansas by way of Texas
- That this Coke can sat in storage for three years
- That the mini-bar in the hotel I got this from charged me $5 for this one measly can
- That it’s still unopened
Pam? Do want this?
