Minute Maid Pulpy Orange Juice

A new one from the Coca-Cola Bottlers. It´s an orange juice with real pulp from oranges. Well it really does have real pulp. It´s a bit on the sweet side with added sugar and some what nots. It sort of addicting maybe because it´s a new product, maybe because of hype or it´s because of the sugar rush. I don´t know. But if you like OJ you could put this on your list. It´s cheap too, less than 50 pesos for a liter.

What´s your quick coffee fix?

Most people today drink coffee. More often than not people go to the branded coffee hangouts like Starbucks, Figaro, SBC, and so on and so forth. I do not frequent these cafés anymore for a reasons that:

1. They´re really overpriced
2. Some have become crowded
3. Some don´t offer free wi-fi
4. Some became too noisy to relax

With these in mind I just usually go to the grocery or the closest 24/7 mini mart to grab my caffeine fix and here are my top two choices:

Nescafé Coffee in a can Mocha flavor. It has that strong rich Mocha flavor yet it doesn´t overpower your taste buds. It cost a little over 20 pesos (depends on where you buy it). It´s available almost everywhere and you could finish it up in a few gulps (if you´re in a hurry) because it´s cold. It also comes in Black Roast and Original Flavors.

Yes, I still think this is overpriced. It costs a little less than a hundred pesos. You could buy this in a few SM groceries, found some in Makati Supermarket, and a few branches of Shopwise (much less in Starbucks café, weird). What I like about this is it´s lite (less calories - so it says), it´s on the creamy side, and you still get you´re caffeine fix.

Between the two i´d still go for the Nescafé because it´s cheaper and it´s practically everywhere.
