I don’t like beer.
Actually speaking, I don’t
like any drinks, neither hard nor soft, but I do take it sometimes when I am in
the company of friends and don’t wish to be fussed over.
I have never developed a taste for beer.
Last
year when I was advised to take a can of beer everyday to flush out the kidney
stones, I took it as a medicine but could never relish it. I found it very
bitter and I had lost my appetite. After having 5 cans for 5 days, I gave up and have never
sipped it again
Until today
I was in the supermarket and the girl stood in
front of me, offering me a new brand of beer that contains lime.
I was impressed with the Tee shirt that she
wore, with the message in Spanish “TRY.. A different combination” it also had a
graphic of ‘beer + lime’ over the message. A company that wants to promote their product goes to the extend of personalizing the teeshirt of a sales girl. Impressive!
She was a sweet girl who went around the
supermarket, offering a tiny glass for taste. What was even more surprising was
that many people politely refused to taste. It was free yet only those, who
were curious about its taste, accepted her offer. I have always been offended with people who grab every product for tasting even when they don't like it.
I accepted little for tasting. It tasted very
good with lime overpowering the bitter taste of beer. Sweet and sour, it made
good combination. I was tempted to buy a bottle…but no.. like I said earlier….I
don’t like beer.
