No Foster Clarks, though :/<BR/><BR/>When we first came in 1997, after drinking just water for a few weeks, I finally found some small packages of powdered drink mix. They tasted awful, but at least provided some of the flavour I was desperate for!Mike Steinbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214348806059195775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416509783300964786.post-51273011263678455002008-10-03T09:00:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:00:00.000-04:00While the local drink mixes may be nothing to writ...While the local drink mixes may be nothing to write home about, I think certain flavours can be an acquired taste!<BR/>In Cameroon they had Foster Clark's drink mixes everywhere. Sure they taste inside-out (for lack of a better word), but I found that I could appreciate a couple of the flavours. One that took me by surprise, for better or worse, was their melon flavoured drink. It tasted almost EXACTLY like the cantaloupe/honeydew bubble tea that I used to drink when I was studying at McMaster.. And to think-- Those things cost upwards of six bucks canadian! Foster Clarks was around 20 cents a litre.. that's about 1/11th the price of gas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191007875799758879noreply@blogger.com
