TING!



Hey Mon, it's a tasty fucking grapefruit soda to drink. Iree, mon, rasta!

Sorry, I guess that's a bit stereotypical isn't it? Well Jamicans all have eight jobs, so they're too busy to read my blog. TING! is a grapefruit soda manufactured by Pepsi Jamaica. We have it at work and it's totally fucking awesome. It's sweet, but very, very strong and grapefruity. This website gives you the option of buying it online, but you'd be better off going to your local international food market. It's about a dollar for a 12 oz bottle, which is steep, but well worth it.

Here is some VERY weird information from their website:

Ting soda brand is more than 25years old and is made from real delicious Jamaican. The demand for Ting soda had been stable for years so the growing of Trees to meet demand was also stable. However the trees were becoming old and diseased as little re-planting took place. Since 2000 the demand for Ting soda brand has doubled in Jamaica which has doubled the demand for the Juice. Since 2000 "TING" has supplied 100% of these uniquely propogated seedlings to Citrus farmers in Jamaica. These Farmers are guaranteed the world grapefruit price in exchange for all the available grapefruit. The trees take 4 years to grow and mature in the rich Jamaican soil and fruit in the Jamaican sunshine. This is why we say "Ting Grapefruit Soda" is a little island sunshine in a bottle. Your demand creates a cycle of events to which culminates in the growing of delicious freshing grapefruit juice. Please try our Ginger Beer and diet ting soda.

It sounds like a third grader wrote it.

In other food news, Meg made more seitan pepperoni, and it is my new jesus. Also, frozen choco-bananas with flax meal on top are my current addiction.
