Tuborg Club Soda – “get some fresh look” (sic)
Is the municipal water in Athens actually safe? Probably not.
Relatedly – I made the mistake of calling soda pop ‘soda’ the other day. I was corrected: “Greeks only say ‘soda’ to mean ‘club soda’.“. Then Adonis hands me a Tuborg Club Soda. Like a commercial.
Tuborg is just about the only soda water I see around town now. Just like Amstel is the dominant beer, Red Bull is the dominant energy drink, and PepsiCo.-ηβη owns everything else. So to speak.
You really have to comb the shops in order to find third-tier (i.e. local) brands such as ξυνο νερο… which is bottled in the mountain village of the same name. I used to think this stuff was fluoridated, but it turns out that it’s just produced in the province of Φλώρινας (Florinas). Haha. Fooled by Greek roots again.
N.B. – The village has an Angelfire fansite!
did you know that red bull is illegal in norway? They wold it for a short time, and then removed it from the market.
That’s funny. Concerns over taurine seem to have settled into debates over its relative uselessness, so I assume that the prohibition is because of the (rather moderate) caffeine levels…? Weird.
From wiki“:
“As of 2007, Red Bull remains prohibited in Denmark, Norway, France, Uruguay and Iceland, but is now allowed in Canada.“
Haha. Go Uruguay!
Red Bull
Does it contain poisenos apartame?
