Pomelo-flavored Sprite at Family Mart


For some reason Family Mart convenience stores often introduce new products before other convenience stores. I haven't seen Pomelo-flavored Sprite anywhere else. Even if you don't drink soda often, give this a try because it does have a unique pomelo aftertaste! (too bad it isn't as healthy as a real pomelo)

"Light" Mango Iced Tea at Carrefour


Last night I noticed a new product at Carrefour---mango iced tea! And the best part is that the drink is "light," as I don't usually drink a lot of empty sugar calories. This particular tea comes in a large bottle (1.5 L), and is only NT$59!

With only 2 calories/serving, it's pretty much calorie-free! And the taste is nice and refreshing---not too sweet, but just right for a hot day.

You can find this tea and another sweetened flavor (peach) near the bakery section at the DaZhi Carrefour. The peach flavor has about 30 calories/serving.

I highly recommend mixing it with Sprite Zero for a refreshing, calorie-free drink!

A candybar with fish oil in it?


I was intrigued by this candybar that I found in Watson's today. It is supposedly Omega-3 enriched. And yes, fish oil IS added to the candybar!

Audrey's Omega-3 Milk Chocolate and Pineapple Chip bars boast a healthy dose of Omega-3s. So if you're really craving chocolate, at least get some that has fish oil in it!!

I tried it, and it was surprisingly good. I've only seen this bar at Watson's, and it's about NT$55.
There were two different flavors. Also, Watson's is having a "buy one, get one 50% off" deal on select Cadbury candybars, including the dark chocolate "Old Gold" bars that are full of antioxidants! (and sugar and fat...) :)

Cherry Coke at Family Mart convenience stores


No need to drive to Wellman's and pay a lot of money for cherry coke now...you can find it at Family Mart convenience stores for NT$25/ bottle. Personally, I am not a regular soda drinker, but once in awhile, I love a few sips of real cherry coke.
