Babe, do u know what’s my favourite soft drink in Australia?
No… we haven’t had this conversation…
Well…. in no particular order… I like to order:
- Solo
- Coke Zero
- Sprite
- Pepsi Max if there is no Coke Zero
That’s it?
No wait! There is also:
- Chinotto
- Kombucha
Okay I think that’s it.
Okay. Noted 🤓📝
When I’m in Taiwan I also like Sarsaparilla.
U can’t get that in Australia?
Ummm… I have never tried looking for it… 😳
Lol okay…
Do like Dr Pepper?
I don’t think so…
U’ve tried it?
Yeah. In America. I vaguely remember thinking, “Ew. Nope. Not for me.” Like this must be how Americans feel about Vegemite?! 🤣
Lolllllll…
Okay yeah I think that is my soda preferences which we call soft drinks in Australia.
Lol… I thought u liked Fanta?!?!
Ummm… did I used to say that?
One of the mutual friends said it.
Maybe like in PRIMARY school?!?! I haven’t had Fanta much as an adult.
Oh? Why?
I don’t know, I just grew out of it?
Oh… okay…
I mean, if someone is going to randomly have Fanta out ar a BBQ or a gathering and that’s the only thing to drink, I’m not going to refuse to drink it! But it’s just not an immediate go to?! I wouldn’t order it on a plane or anything?!
Why plane?
I don’t know it was just a random thought.
Lol okay…
What is about Taiwanese Sarsaparilla?
Ummm… AI explain it… 😅
Hey Song Sarsaparilla is a beloved Taiwanese soft drink with a rich history and a unique flavor profile that sets it apart from typical sodas. Here’s a quick dive into what makes it special:
🧃 What Is Hey Song Sarsaparilla?
– It’s a type of Sarsi, a soft drink made from Mexican sarsaparilla root, known for its earthy, slightly spicy taste.
– The flavor combines licorice, vanilla, and root beer notes, giving it a nostalgic, tonic-like kick.
🕰️ Historical Roots
– First introduced in 1950 by the HeySong Corporation, which was founded in 1925 during Japanese rule in Taiwan.
– Initially marketed as a herbal tonic, it gained popularity due to its affordability compared to foreign sodas like Coca-Cola.
🇹🇼 Cultural Significance
– Over time, it became a symbol of Taiwanese innovation and nostalgia, especially among older generations who associate it with childhood memories.
– It’s often used in home remedies, like mixing it with salt or raw egg to treat colds.
🌍 Where to Find It
– Widely available in Taiwan, and increasingly found in Asian grocery stores and online retailers internationally.
Oh… okay… I’m learning… 🤓
Yes and by the way the founders family are friends of my parents.
