A Carton of Randomised Canned Drinks

Anything? Whatever?
Recently, there's has been these advertisements shown on TV and movie theatres One of them is about the man who who wanted "Anything" but the shopkeeper didn't understand what he meant by that. The other is about the rebellious son who wanted to get the inheritance from his dying father. Initially, the son was jumping to joy when his father wanted to give him whatever, which shocked the other people about the decision the father made, but that whatever turned out to be the "whatever" can drink (too bad for the son).

The advertisement also appears on radio stations (one about a break during some sports training, and the other is about a man who wanted to buy drinks for his indecisive girlfriend) and bus stops advertisement board as well. Still remember about the news where the decorated cans on the advertisement board sign are been withdrawn due to the fear of mosquitoes breeding and the harvesting of cans?

Anyway, I really have to applaud about the creativity of the advertisement that the came out with. Yup, all those advertisements (especially the TV/movie advertisements), and the news regarding about the withdrawal of empty cans (even though that is not really done purposefully, but with some reasons), do give me a deep impression about those drinks. Hmm... A impression deep enough for me to get a carton of "Whatever" (wanted to get "Anything" as well, but there are too much drinks at home, and I don't usually take carbonated drinks).



Well, since the drinks are randomise, you can't really tell what is contained inside the can (the design of the cans are the same). Looking at the ingredients might help a little to determine the drinks, but most of the drinks are just generally label (for example, the ingredient "fruit juice concentrate" might refer to apple, peach, lemon or white grape juice concentrate).

For "Whatever", only Jasmine Green Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea can be distinguised easily by reading the ingredients.
Jasmine Green Tea: Water, Sugar, Tea Extract, Permitted Flavouring
Chrysanthemum Tea: Water, Sugar, Extract of Chrysanthemum, Permitted Flavouring
The other four flavours (Ice Lemon Tea, Peach Tea, Apple Tea and White Grape Tea) are just generally labelled as follows:
Water, Sugar, Fruit Juice Concentrate, Tea Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Permitted Flavouring

Haven't tried "Anything" yet (Flavours: Cola, Cola with Lemon, Apple, Fizz Up, Cloudy Lemon and Root Beer), so I'm not really sure about the ingredients part, but I'm assuming that if the ingredients contained the word "caffeine", it has to do with cola-related flavours.

Now that I have a carton of "Whatever", I'm going to take my time finishing the carton, hoping to try out all the 6 flavours.

Movie at AMK Hub
Well, this is the 2nd time I'm watching Fantastic 4. It seems that those movies that I watched in this vacation "come in pairs" (ie. watch 2 times). Well, nevertheless, it can be enjoyable to watch the movie one more time with my signal friends.

Well, I feel that it is a bit tedious to get to AMK Hub cinema, but since it is just being opened, maybe I need some more time to know a more efficient routes to get to the cinema at the top floor of AMK Hub. Anyway the seats have a similar feeling to that of Vivocity (that is they have that "protruding headrest" on the seats as well). Hmm... A bit uncomfortable leaning on the chair, but nevertheless, the comfortness of the seats is more than good enough. Didn't really get to see how the theatres look like as well were late for the movie. :P
