Lagi – “Genuine non-alcoholic beverages”
It’s difficult to find a good bag of potato chips.
There are these ‘Taste of Mediterranean’ chips I see around, with really pandering flavors like “oregano” and “olive oil” and “feta” and “tzatziki”. Read the back and see the PEPSI logo. Similarly, you have Tsakiris chips, which are wholly owned by Coca-Cola. It’s like the cola wars all over again, but crunchy. I won’t take a side – I can’t stand either chip.
At my favorite market-cum-hotel lobby, I wind my way through about one hundred glassy-eyed, Ukrainian HERBALIFE devotees to find the same old lame chips, but a new drink on the shelves!
The LAGI website is downdead (naturally) so here is a screenshot:
Direct from Tbilisi for all the local Caucasian help, this bottle of Lagi lemonade promises that it’s a “GENUINE PRODUCT” right on the label.
It tastes like perfume and is almost undrinkable, but I don’t care.
A cached version of the website says about Lagi beverages: “They are made with new individual receipts and Georgian ancient traditions.” (sicsicsic)
Like the ancient Georgian tradition of going out of business?
Alright!!!
