336/365: Twenty Days left

Nothing exciting with twenty days to go.

I got a different variation of the green tea I had a few days ago and a salad that was labeled "new". Hey if they label it like that, how can I not count it towards my goal?

I liked the green tea but to be honest, I think the only difference is in the smell. It tasted exactly like the other one.

324/365: Beertasting; GPA Global Pale Ale

Beer!


And then some more beer. I had a GPA. It means Global Pale Ale. I am not writing more about this beer because it was just another beer. Deal with it.

318/365: Strawberry Fanta

It was an interesting day.

Yes I did try a strawberry Fanta and I liked it

But also this went on outside my apartment:

Never a dull moment in Bern.

317/365: Beertasting; Juniper Pale Ale, Rogue

It was a Hearthstone, mom is coming for a visit day.

So I went the beer way again. The beer way is always a good way.
I really liked this one. It is another american craft beer.

311/365: Lemonaid

More drinking. Drinking is good.

I had a Lemonaid. It is a lemonade (who would have thought so?) that claims to help people or stuff, or both if you buy it. I am always for helping other people so I bought and drank it. I felt refreshed afterwards.

308/356: Gatorade

Damn it, damn it, damn it all. I am so far behind with posting it's not even funny.

I was very close to just giving up on posting. Just the posting though. No way I am giving up the project so close to the end. Buuuut then I thought better off it.. mainly because, without the blog I have no idea where I am with the days.

So here it is, the post from, well, 14 days ago? I shall see as I get closer to yesterday's new thing.
I had a Gatorade to keep me hydrated during workout. The waterboy would not approve.

304/356: Belvoir Cranberry Pressé

Right, another drink.

I have to admit I am coming to a point where I am looking forward to end this year. There are just over 50 days to go and I kind of lack the energy to look for something great to do every day. I think the issue is not that I don't want to do something exciting but that it is really hard with day to day stuff going on.

So on this day, again I just tried something new to drink. It was a Belvoir Cranberry Pressé or from what I understand, a Cranberry Soda. It was only slightly sweet though. I really liked that fact. I also liked the design of the bottle.

271/272/273/274//356: Four In One

I am catching up some more with four days in one past.

Over the last week, new foods and drink dominated again. Don't even have an excuse for it.

 Started Monday with these little chocolate balls of delight. It's a new Ragusa product and I have always liked Ragusa so I thought it might be a quick win. I was not dissapointed. These things are delicious. But then, whenever there is chocolate involved, how can that go wrong anyhow?

 Tuesday I tried a beer called "Cobra". The name is flashy but didn't take away anything from the taste. It was good any I enjoyed it. But it is not a micro brewery beer. I have been spoiled a bit with the different kinds of beers I had the pleasure of sampling over the last few months.

 On Wednesday I tried Pepsi Twist. It was umm, a tiny bit lemony. Not really sure if it deserves such a fancy name and bottle to set it apart from the normal Pepsi. Grab a Pepsi, but a slice of lemon in it and you probably have exactly the same.

Thursday I had two new things. This tonic called "Gents" (how could I not go for it?) and the energy bar made with "Dinkel". Umm I have to admit I did not find a translation for that word. Maybe help me out? It is supposed to be really healthy. Don't know about that but the bar tasted healthy. With that I mean it was slightly pleasant but not so much that you would feel like you are eating something really unhealthy.. and well all know that the stuff that tasted really good is usually unhealthy.

263/356: Danup Stracciadictive Joghurt Drink

Not much to see here

On Sunday I tried the Danup Stracciadictive joghurt drink. It was small, it was gone in a breeze, it tasted like melted stracciatela ice cream. So you can say it was quite pleasant.

258/35: Beertasting Episode; I Can't Read The Label

I had another beer... aaand and I am not sure about the name.

I think it is Chodovar but don't quote me on that. I admit I just grabbed it at the liquor store without thinking much about it. As always, I judge the beer by the label. It was a good beer but nothing too exciting. Probably won't have this one again.

252/356: Moccalino And NiceT IceTea

More food and drink, huzzah!

For this day I tried a new ice tea and a new type of chocolate. Well I don't know if they are new, but I have never had them before. I am a little lazy right now so I won't write in detail about the experience. They were both nice though. The chocolate more so than the ice tea.

251/356: Eve Fruit Spritzer

And on we go with the drinks.

It's on of those weeks *sigh*. But there is more exciting stuff coming next week. It is all planned.

"Eve; Fruit Spritzer" After the one yesterday where I wasn't sure if I was the target audience, here I know I am not. Still, why not try it anyhow. I did and it tasted, well, like any other flavored water out there. For a few years these seem to be really trendy. I think the idea is to sell something sugared but make it seem healthy. I can assure you. It is not. It's just a soda with a little less color and sugar.

250/356: Qcumber Sparling Water

This one was weird.

I got a few new food and drinks last Monday but I will only post about one. why this one? because it was definitely the strangest one. I tried a "Qucumber". When I got it, I wasn't sure what it was and now that I had it, I am still not sure what it is trying to be. Is it water? Is it juice? Is it a soda?

It is slightly sweet water with a hint of cucumber. Really weird if you ask me. Who ever came up with this idea and who is supposed to be the target audience? If I am asking myself this, I am probably not it. To be totally honest with you though, it wasn't unpleasant. Not something that I would pick again, it's just too weird, but you never know.

235/356: Focus Water

Not to sure what this Focus Water is trying to be. Maybe it is an energy drink, maybe it's supposed to be a fancy water or maybe it's just your regular soda. I liked that they list all the nice healthy things inside on the side of the bottle. As always with things like this, I am not too sure if it will do me any good or not. The companies are crafty about this stuff.

Anyhow, it wasn't entirely unpleasant. It was less sweet than I was expecting. Also it tasted less artificial than expected.  I guess I liked it. Still, I am a fan of just drinking water most of the time so I will probably not get it again.

233/356: fi-GA Energy Drink?

I am not sure if this is supposed to be an energy drink or not. The Guarana in it would let you guess so..

I was sick that day and just had to grab something. I didn't really pay any attention to what I was having. I just wanted to get the first done. It's these days that I question my project. Why should I do force myself to such a behavior? But then the next day when I feel better, I am glad that I am still going. Also now I am coming up on the last hundred days so there is no way I am stopping now.

226/356: Innocent Fruit Smoothie: Pomegranate, Huckleberry And Açai

Sick. Again.

Keeping this project up always starts to feel hard when I get sick. Try doing something new when you are coming down with a fever. But there I am. The rules are, I can't miss a day, for any reason. So on my way home from work I went buy the grocery shop real fast and grabbed an Innocent fruit smoothie.

I really like the fruit combination in this smoothie. I especially like that they added Acai. I got to love that fruit when I was in Brazil last January.

I had hoped to get better sooner with something as this healthy.. not sure if it made any difference though.

225/356: Buffalo Tropical Vitamin Drink

Back to tasting sodas.

After managing two days in a row with a little more effort, I had to resort to the easy ways again. I tried the Buffalo Tropical Vitamin Drink. I have to be honest with you though, I don't expect anything that is a packaging as bright and flashy as this to have very many vitamins. Still, it tasted better than I had expected. Nothing so good I have to get it again but still.

222/356: Bianca La Cazzosa Pomplemo & Fragola by Abbondio

I am coming back to the start of the blog. Hard to believe I started this last June already.

I have had already tried the Classico by Abbondio. So this time I went for a different taste. It was grapefruit and strawberry. A very good combination if you ask me. I enjoyed thoroughly and that there is a pin up girl on the bottle had nothing to do with the decision to get it.

So yeah, haven't quite got the camera on the new phone figured out yet but I hope to have done so soon.

198/199/200/356: Food and Drinks

I have to catch up on a few days and since this stuff is pretty standard (read boring) I decided to do three days in one post.

Yeah I said I would never taste it again, but in my defense I did buy it both in the same day and it is a different juice.. if you can call it that at all. To be fair, this one tasted a little more like fruits and not just like sugar. Still, no reason to go back to this brand of drink

Aha, another energy drink. There are so many of them out there nowadays. I don't do them often for my firsts because when I do a tasting, it is usually in the evening and during the week. So drinking an energy drink will make sure I will not be able to sleep when I have to. 

Actually I didn't invest any time to see what is in it or what it is made off. The name lets me guess that is has something to do with absinthe but really that is just a guess. It tasted a little bitter bad not in a bad way. I actually quite liked it. 

Following to drinks I picked up a sweetie grapefruit. I kid you not, it is actually called that. It is also green on the outside and bigger than a usual grapefruit. I really liked it. It tasted like a mix between a grapefruit and an orange. You should go and try one!

Size comparison with a normal sized orange.

195/356: Mulled Wine From The Open Fire

As you can tell from the titel, I had to stretch to make this a new one.

We had our quarterly meeting at work and afterwards mulled wine and sausages. This be the first time that I have mulled wine which was made over open fire. No difference in taste. The only difference was that afterwards I smelled like fire.
