I know fizzy drinks are not perfect for the health, but I don't mind indulging myself once in a while.

I've gotten used to Pepsi as having a slightly bitter tang as well as leaving a burning, chilly trail as it travels down the throat.

On finishing the drink, one is left with a slightly sour taste in the mouth and if one attempts drinking water, it tastes bitter.

So, I traveled to my state's FMC of recent and purchased a Pepsi from their family shop.

The taste was entirely different.
This was milder, a little bit sweeter and less belch-inducing.

When I took water afterwards, I didn't experience that bitterness or the usual sour aftertaste I had already gotten used to.
It was evident I have been drinking rubbish.

I have resolved never to buy fizzy drinks from just any retailer anymore.
If I must go down, better to go down with dignity.

How producers of these substandard beverages manage to escape the scrutiny of the various standardisation agencies we have in the nation never ceases to blow my mind.

Nigeria is suffering an organized crime in all area.

Here in case this hits front page.
