So I was at the grocery store this morning, buying usual stuff when my eyes fell upon this 'never seen before' tetrapack that read out loud - "Mocktail by Real"! Now being a non alcoholic person, i am almost always enticed by drinks that have blend of unusual fruits and mixes in them. Further the description read out loud - "a perfect drink to get your party started" and i was like " Woah!! That's a great description and packaging,,i sure wanna have a good time this weekend.."!! And the next thing you know, i was carrying home a tetra pack full of 'tomato puree' back feeling so luck n over the moon. I quickly loaded it up in the refrigerator, put the cooling on the highest and waited ! Hours passed by n i couldn't take any longer, it was time yo break open the seal and cherish the heavenly juices. What more, i even dug out a wine glass that had been fading away in ignorance, cleaned it up, and finally poured out the heavenly mocktail slow n steady, careful enough not to let the flavour get wear off into the shitty Delhi air. And then came the moment of truth. I lifted up the glass, brought it closer to my nose, just a sniff. Woah! I should have stopped at that. But I gave way to my urges and there it was, rolling on my tongue, flushing down my throat and i wanted to throw up.
It was like someone had a bottle of tomato ketchup rotting up in the refrigerator for ages and one fine day he thought - "Maybe, there's a stupid guy somewhere in the mid twenties, who has nothing better to do! Maybe he needs this thing to make his life merrier". He added some water, packaged it and it found its way straight into the hands of most vulnerable person alive!
I feel so cheated! Oh wait! There's a herbal ginger sugarcane packaged drink in the refrigerator that i grabbed the other day, maybe that will help me feel better!!!
