The director of the shelter stopped by today. Actually, she comes to the shelter every Tuesday to counsel and study the word of God with us.
When she got here, she announced the birth of her sister's daughter's child in Canada. Well, that's her niece's child. She was so happy her sister is now a grandparent that she asked us to celebrate with her. So I was given N2000 to buy soft drinks and cracker biscuits.
I strolled down to a superstore not so far from us, picked 4 Fanta drinks, and 1 maltina and I decided to go for teem.
I had assumed that the teem I had picked for myself was the one that has a lemon kind of taste.
On getting home, I shared the drink with everyone and kept mine in the fridge. Later in the evening, I went to the fridge, took out the teem drink, and poured a good amount into my mouth, hoping to savor the taste of the lemon in the teem. Unfortunately what I tasted almost made me vomit and it was nowhere close to a taste that I can manage.
I got confused and wondered why it tasted that way. I had to check what was written on the body of the drink, it was at that moment I discovered that it was "teem soda". It wasn't bitter, nor was it sweet but it tasted horrible on my taste buds.
[from my gallery].
I was about to pour it into the drain when the lady who also stays in the shelter entered the kitchen. I explained my ordeal to her, and immediately, she started laughing so hard because she
could understand and probably relate to the situation. Good thing is, I asked her if she loves taking a drink like that, then she replied saying "yes" and told me about the benefits of drinking the soda.
I replied saying "okay, okay, you can have it all, I don't like it at all".
She gladly accepted and wished that she hadn't drank her Fanta, she would have given me hers, I quickly replied, saying that it was okay, it didn't matter.
At the end of it all, I was glad that the teem soda wasn't wasted because she drank it.
The effect of the little quantity of soda on my tongue hasn't faded, everything I taste has this weird taste and somehow I feel tasting something sugary or sweet would get rid of the soda taste.
This has taught me to always cross-check anything I buy for myself or anyone to confirm that it's the actual thing I need even if I'm sure of it before leaving the store.
This happened to me too the first time I tasted it. Since then I've never come near it too. Me my own I saw the soda, but the sodas I usually taste don't taste anything like it.

The taste is so bad to me, I'm glad you can relate to it since you've tasted it before.

Thank you 🙂
Is it just unflavored carbonated water? That tastes bad, but I drink it when I have indigestion. Then I belch in a very unflattering way. Then I feel much better.
This one of the benefits the lady told me.
I told her I was fine, she could go ahead to drink it all
When I am not sick, I have no desire for it, so I understand, but some peoplelove it for some reason.
Just like my neighbor.
Even if I'm sick, I would take something else
Looooooooool
Why does this happen to people? A girl who came to my store and bought that Teem came back a few minutes later to take another drink. When she was buying the drink i was like, mad o. So she can drink this thing? Boss lady. So when she returned, i laughed my head off. She said, i should have known something was off when you had a funny look on your face while giving me the drink. I apologised but omoh... E funny die.

lololol... how dare they steal our spelling of "teem" hahahahahaha
Yeah 😅😂😂😂
How dare they steal out TEEM😂😂
I saw it too.
How dare they steel your teem hahahahahaha
😂😂😂😂
That think is disgusting, I wonder how people drink it.
I'm never going to drink such in my life again. 😂
hahahhahaa there is a drink like that here...I used to hate it, but now I love it hahahahah
no.one else in the family likes it....so I drink it all 😂😂😂😂
Really?
May I ask what you love about it?
It's tasteless and disgusting to me.
It really is a bad one. It's good to crosscheck an item before buying it. I even thought I would read that it got expired that was why it tasted that way.
The original teem itself is bitter, not to talk of this one. At least it wasn't wasted. Lol
I came through @dreemport
I like the original teem, or was that taste I was expecting when I poured the teem soda into my mouth.
The sad is tasteless and the tastelessness doesn't taste good. Can you imagine?
I believe they did that for those who do not take sugar.
Well, Yeah, I think so.
😂😂😂 I had a feeling this was the drink you got even before you mentioned it.....
This babe, the teem you were expecting has a lemon colour.... Every drink with that taste has lemon colour.... Schweppes, teem lemon, etc... They all have lemon color
Sorry though. Thank goodness it didn't all go to waste... Sorry you hear 🥺
😂😂
I thought this one would taste like it.
That's what I'm grateful for.
