Psychologically, we feel good sucking bottles from very thin straws, or hauling drinking tupperwares around capped with plain water. Such is nostalgia captured in japanese-manufactured Yakult or Vitagen. Once in a while, with straws put away carelessly, we rip the neon foils voraciously, mounds of silvers laying open to a pool of pale liquid.
Vitagen (Colour) (SGD 2.85) (Collagen) (SGD 3.60)
Out of the colours(out of my years), the apple is tart(just like green apples); my digestive pill after a meal. Grape is like soda pop; man-made compound heated till decomposition. Peaches is all-the-yakult's contender. My favourite would be the new collagen flavours- elderflowers, rose and lb original. Amassed as one because I cannot distinguish their tastes, they are heavily perfumed- like skim-milked bundung. I feel like a bee drinking this.
P.S. Milk is the very first food we consume; vitagen should have been the second. Getting two sticks (complete) there are two rainbows- one on the foil and a lighter one on the bottle(poignantly, the pastel liquid itself); it is not a packaging's farce! It represents the rainbow of our hearts because of the deviation orange- opening to a pale pool of peach(Peach) and pink(Rose).
