Remember Orbitz?

Does anyone remember that drink in Canada that came out about 10 years ago, it was like pop but had jelly bubbles floating around in it? I think it was called Orbitz, it didn't last very long.

Well today I figured I needed to expand my choice in drinks from coffee, tea (both brought from Canada), and coke zero. So I took the beverage section by storm and bought almost one of everything (not nearly as extreme as you would imagine...individual drinks are about 30 cents for a can and about 250ml each). I bought juices, canned coffee (other than Starbucks I have yet to find a to go coffee place that serves warm coffee), and other things that looked interesting, tho I wasn't entirely sure what they were.

For instance, I assumed the can with the coconut on it would be a coconut juice/soda of sorts. Actually, it is grape soda with coconut cubes floating around in it, which are pretty much like jelly squares, and not too bad once I realized what it was. Before that it was like "what the hell did i just swallow," and the brief flash of all the possibilities that could have been contaminating my "coconut" juice.

So what I have begun to realize with my adventures in grocery shopping is that Koreans pretty much like to add something to everything. I've bought bread with peanut butter already added, little buns with syrup already added (think premade pancakes), and now juice with jelly added.

What an odd little country....
