How I Almost Lost My Job Because Of Orijin Drink. by samwash(op): 3:39pm On May 08, 2016
On Friday, My boss sent me on an errand and when I was done, I was very tired.

Going back to office I decide to branch into a super market to get myself soft drink to refresh with because of the tiredness. My intention was to buy malt drink, I changed my mind when I saw this new Orijin zero non alcoholic drink because I hv tasted it before.

After some snacks, I washed it down wit the orijin, that's when my Boss walked in and met me & other colleagues eating because it was break time.
Immediately, my Boss sent for me in his office, and queried me on why I was drinking alcohol on duty. It took me time to convinced him that the brand of Orijin I was drinking was not alcoholic.

After so many many talk talk to which I was able to convince him after showing him the can. na so I go buy six pack of d Orijin zero alcoholic drink for my Boss to cool down.

Lesson to all; There are some brand names that are tagged negative, you should not associate your self with it, if you happen to work in d co-operate world. Example; anybody who sees the brand name ORIJIN will think it's an alcoholic drink not knowing this brand doesn't contain alcohol.

Could have sworn this was an Orijin advert if not for the grammar.

Hope am happy for you... But you keep confusing me, are you tasting or teasing, do you like the tease of it or the taste of it... I just need clarification on that.

In the recently release movie: Captain America :Civil War, they acted the first fighting scene in "Lagos". MaltaGuinness malt drink was shown twice on a table and as far as my research has gone, Guinness didn't sponsor it.

Moral: Sometimes, it's about the story, not the product. smiley

Same with DUBIC malt, I scolded a friend ignorantly when I find him drinking Dubic not knowing that it is the malt brand.
