Not too long ago, when I was still young, Vicky and I were strolling through Kaiser's supermarket. (Yes, we shop like kings, dammit, like KINGS!). A few shops prior to that, we were also strolling through the aisles at Kaiser's when the following caught my eye:
 |
| cola AND beer |
I knew instantly that I had to try it. To mix the special treat drink of my childhood with the common, everyday treat drink of adulthood - what could be greater? Well, it turns out that it bloody well can be greater. The stuff is also flavoured with the weird-looking fruit that Vicky and I once saw at Coles in Australia and decided to try, despite its pointy ferociousness.
 |
| Flavoured with DRAGONFRUIT |
More to the point, they came up with an exceedingly clever acronym of "Cab" for Cola and Beer. Fusion cooking and marketing genius rolled into one - what could go wrong?

| Drink for the camera Matt, drink for the camera! |
Well, it was okay. Sure, nothing in it resembles dragonfruit, fruit, dragons, or flamboyant, well-dressed mythical sauropods in the slightest. It tastes like Kolé Beer even though, unlike the Kirks version, this one actually contains actual beer.
Actually, now that I think about it, it's just like dragonfruit. Exiciting and frightening to behold but, on consumption, pretty tame. Well played, marketing fellows! Nevertheless, I give this beverage only seven thumbs up. Good for a gimmick, not for recommending to your friends.
