Remembering the former glory of Cold China - with products

February 25, 2009: As this blog nears its death-knell i think it only appropriate to return it to its glory days. And of course that can only mean products.

But this presumptuous "blog" downright bloggy enough to "link" back to its own blog posts? Hell yes, they're all down the left side... However, the hardworking folk at Cold China (so hard-working they post once a month and then change the dates back to when they should have been posted) wouldn't be so lazy as to serve up refried "fashionable" horse beans from 2007. No sirs and madames. Behold, despite their surly countenance and resistance to being photographed, your intrepid correspondent got up in the face of four BRAND NEW PRODUCTS!


First up, we can see, we're actually not talking Chinglish here, but rather Chileans and their dodgy English. Because everyone knows the Andes are really known as the Ands in Chile. And "mouthfeel" is just one of those words that doesn't translate well from Spanish. This lack of guidance as to its advantages almost ruined this rare drop, with its fine bouquet of methylated spirits and ever-so-subtle undertones of rotten grapes.



The makers of the above two products are definitely clued-up cats, globally - anyone who's been to the UK can confirm it does indeed smell strongly of petroleum-derived edible lard.


I must say, however, the Appetizing Salt Soda line of biscuits really lives up to its name, especially with a hefty smear of vegemite. A worthy candidate for rebranding as "Australia Smell Biscuit" i say.
