Anything lor

Had my first taste of Whatever yesterday (it was apple tea) and today I got ice lemon tea.
The ice lemon tea is a bit too sweet - barely ten minutes after I finished it my throat started clogging up. But the apple tea is not bad.
The ads suck (I’ll give you anything if you marry me o_0) but the concept, I think, is brilliant.
“What you want to drink?” “Huh, anything lor.”
Who hasn’t had that conversation?? Now you really can get “anything” and “whatever”. Basically, for those who aren’t savvy or not Singaporean, these two drinks are the answer to everyone who’s ever been indecisive or indifferent about what to drink. Anything is carbonated, while Whatever is non-carbonated. Basically every can has the same design and you never know what you’re going to get.
Anything comes in cola, cola with lemon, apple, root beer, Fizz Up and cloudy lemon. I have no idea what Fizz Up is - I’m assuming it’s a Sprite/7-up type of drink. You know what would be awesome? If they started selling this in pubs. “What would you like to drink, ma’am? A vodka with anything, please.” :D
Whatever comes in ice lemon tea, peach tea, jasmine green tea, white grape tea, apple tea, and chrysanthemum tea.
Lousy graphics and ads, but wide reach with TV, radio, and clear channel ads, and I think the concept rocks. I’m quite partial to drinking anything and whatever now and then when it really doesn’t matter to me what drink to get. I like surprises! Surprise me!
Whatever…
