Journey - 2 Reviews

Thank you for choosing the Journey travel agency. We offer many getaways all over the world. Did you have a specific destination in mind or were you still unsure where you wanted to vacation? Thailand? That is a wonderful choice. I'm sorry to tell you that our agency does not book any activities that involve the sex trade though. I'm sorry sir. Please don't be upset. I understand there are many wonders of Thailand, but to be perfectly honest 99% of our customers who want to go there give me the creeps. The things they say they want to experience give me the shivers. I do believe I have exactly what you're looking for though. Yes sir that is a bottle of soda. I've been told it's the essence of Thailand condensed into a single bottle. It has a strong lemon flavor, which is due to lemon juice, lemongrass and lemon verbena extract. Those Thai folks sure love their lemon. To balance things out there is some ginger thrown into the mix. Yes sir, I agree it tastes like someone mixed a lemonier 7Up into a ginger beer. I would actually say it was more like a Greek soda mixed with ginger beer.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip sir. That will be $4983.72. Sir I don't know what kind of establishment you thought this was, but we try to give people the experience of going to a foreign country in soda form. What do you mean you won't pay it? Didn't you see the waiver when you came in? Don't make me call Billy-Bobby out from the back room! He doesn't take kindly to people who skip out on their bills.

I challenge anyone to read the name of this soda aloud and not think of Billy Ocean. It is a scientific impossibility. Even those humans who have never heard Mr. Ocean will automatically get "Caribbean Queen" stuck in their head. I think Journey should hire that wonder to do a parody for promotion of this soda. It would go something like this:

"Caribbean Creme
Now we're tasting vanilla cream
And our hearts they drink as one
With some coconut for fun."

Okay that was terrible. How am I ever to support myself as a jingle writer like I've always dreamed? Looks like I'll have to stick to screen printing.

Now back to the soda. This is one of the strongest vanilla flavors I've ever had in a soda. It's all due to some pure Java vanilla bean extract. It's pretty intense. The coconut is more subdued. I don't really like coconut, so I feared it would overpower the rest of the drink. It's really not bad. There is a hint of it, but it doesn't leave the gross coconut aftertaste. That's what I really hate about that specific fruit. Overall this is very tropical tasting and I believe it should be enjoyed on the beach.

Now I need to find a company that a parody of "Get Out of my Dreams" will work for.
