Product Displacement
Tea'd Off
After downing my first cup of Asahi brand "Jyurokucha 2000" (tea flavor soft drink), I'm all sad and suffering from a severe case of buyer's remorse. Especially since I bought it on sale for $3.99, marked down from $4.99, I thought I got a good deal. I was very much expecting this bottled tea drink to be refreshing. But it's so NOT. It's taste is seriously lacking. The only consolation is that this potent flavor I'm experiencing comes to me at a cost of no calories. In fact, ingesting this offers no nutritional value whatsoever (no calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, or minerals)! Still, due to the unpleasant taste, having about 8 cups worth of this stuff left in my fridge is a slap in the face. I should've checked beforehand, but here's the list of ingredients in this drink:"Water, pearl-barley, soy bean, oolong tea, barley green tea, nupolished rice, tangle-mugwort, mushroom, striped bamboo, persimmon leaf, artificial flavor." With stuff like tangle-mugwort or striped bamboo listed, it's scary to think of what else would be included under the heading "artificial flavor?"
"Asahi" should stick to making beer
