I am a sucker for “exotic” soda. To me, a can of Shoo-Eebs (Schwepps) written in Arabic qualifies as exotic. And so does a can of Vimto, which has an unidentified flavor. Maybe because it has so much sugar all other palatable sensations are annihilated. I can’t wait to drink ginger brew, I had it in Ghana, and I’m sure I’ll find it in Ivory Coast. No can there though, it’s served in a plastic bag with a straw.
