It's simple.
Kola Champagne.No alcohol. Just LOTS of carbonation, corn syrup, and artificial flavoring designed to play a symphony in my mouth.
But why the faces (and no, I'm not faking!)? It kinda burns the tongue because of the carbonation that is apparently like champagne and its... unique citrus flavor is a tad tart. But the end result...
Utter happiness and contentment.
So how did I discover this drink? A few visits to Jamaica. Our church takes the youth group every spring break on a mission trip, and on one of our trips to the market, against my better judgment, one of the guys on the trip convinced me to try his freeze-dried shrimp snack. Yeeeaaaah. The only thing he had to wash it down with? Kola Champagne. And I was hooked. I don't even drink regular soft drinks because the carbonation gives me headaches, but this stuff is aaaaa-mazing!
So how did I manage to get my hands on a bottle in Georgia? Northlake Mall. It has an authentic Jamaican restaurant in the food court that I originally didn't want to eat at because I didn't know it was authentic (SOOOO upset I didn't get some real jerk chicken!) but Brooke bought a Ting and bought me a KC. She didn't get them to open it for me (the bottles have the old metal caps) because she wasn't sure if I wanted to save it for later, but when I took it up to the counter, the girl just grabbed the top and twisted it off. I was pretty impressed until I actually looked at the cap...
Oh, yeah, and I tasted some really good cake.
And drank some Kola Champagne.
Anna is happy.
