Coca Cola with Orange
I’ve been meaning to blog about my encounter with Orange Coca Cola when I was in England. The brightly coloured bottles beckoned me – it looked strange; orange coca cola bottles aren’t that common.
I asked Ali, the guy at Sarah’s Market, we’d become friends in the few weeks we’d been there. He was very helpful when we run out of money and we had to get Paul to Western Union us some (London = v. expensive city). He said he hadn’t tried it but his young cousin, “who likes sweet things” seems to like it.
It tasted like coke with a bit of orange squeezed into it, but not freshly squeezed oranges, it doesn’t have the acidic taste that real oranges have. The flavours are really mellow almost as if they don’t belong together, like someone playfully mixed a bit of coke and Fanta and then decided it was a good idea.
The colour is light brownish which is also a bit off. It’s different enough to be interesting I probably wouldn’t drink it often if it were readily available in my local convenience store, then again I’m not really a soda person.
I probably would try it again just for the sake of novelty.
