Ülker Çamlıca vs. Tamek Vişne Nektarı
If you can, imagine 7up as it was in the pre-HFCS era. That’s Çamlıca: Turkish 7up. But, for me, citrus flavoring and pine tree/snowflake imagery sorta contrast.
Tamek brand Sour Cherry Nectar is only 35% juice, but even hypersweet cherry juice is delicious, and Tamek cuts the recipe with lemon to compensate. Sadly lacking in carbonation, though.
Interestingly, the can of Çamlıca provides bilingual information… in Turkish and Greek. I’m at a loss over this. Who’s the intended audience? Certainly not the few hundred Greek-speakers in Northern Cyprus, nor the couple thousand in Turkey proper. The Northern Aegean black market? I HAVE NO IDEA. It’s weird.
Meanwhile, Tamek pursues the standard Turk food-labeling language conventions, but diplomatically adds Arabic to the usual list.
