I've been meaning for some time to look into the story of the world's greatest soft beverage, the Aloe Vera King drink. Do you know it? It's a natural, organic, not-too-sweet aloe beverage, brimming with natural fruit pulp, that comes in a green (original flavor) plastic bottle of 16 oz. in the US that sells for about $2.
It is heaven, kids. Beverages always have their ups and downs - sometimes Diet Coke tastes good, sometimes it tastes like mercury. Fresca is often my beverage of choice. I love it, especially the peach one. I love peach things, beginning with actual peaches themselves. But I tire even of it sometimes. But Aloe Vera King: every sip, every time, is as if ladled into my throat by Dionysus himself.
There is further this puzzling matter of the little inscription on every label reading World Seller No. 1 Brand. Huh? For a drink most people have never heard of? AVK is made by the OKF Corp., in South Korea. Perhaps they've cornered the China market.
Anyone share this enthusiasm? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Can you buy it in Britain? (The web site says it's for sale in 135 countries). In Washington, they sell only original, peach (yes!) and pineapple flavors. But look at all these varieties they make! Pomegranate, pear, melon (green), watermelon, strawberry, lychee, tamarind...
OKF Corporation, I bow down before you. I hope you're not owned by Reverend Moon.
