I am someone who is very particular about the plain / mineral water that I drink. I refuse to drink any plain / mineral water that I feel that has a taste to it. I don't drink Evian (yucks!), I can still make myself drink Ice Mountain. Other than that there isn't any much mineral water that I drink.
When I reach Shanghai, the first thing my colleague and I did after we had our dinner in a nearby eatery, was to go to a convenience store to grab some drinks and stuff. I grab a huge bottle of coke and a small bottle of mineral water. I didn't dare to get the big one because I wanted to try and see if there's any weird taste in it. Coke is supposed to taste the same no matter which country it is from so I guessed that's pretty safe. At least it is a drink that I am familiar with.
So now whenever I need to get a drink, Coke is my choice most of the time. The lucky thing is that Coke is really dirt cheap here... 1 600mL bottle of Coke costs only 2.50 RMB which will be slight more than S$0.50. Really dirt cheap. My Japan colleague and I were so surprised at how cheap it is and the place we bought the Coke at is most probably already ripping us.
So right now I am having an overdose of Coke in China... Hee... Think I will stay away from Coke for sometime after I go back to Singapore. :P
