Singapore - Kickapoo
Last August RJ and I visited Singapore for my friends' wedding. It was way before I had ever even set eyes upon a food blog. But because food is one of my favourite things about Singapore, I ended up taking some photos of things we ate.
I was introduced to Kickapoo by my Singaporean boss back in 2000. She went to great pains to teach me the correct pronunciation: kick-a-poe, not kick-a-poo!
When I set eyes on Kickapoo again during our 2004 trip, I had to buy some and get RJ to try it. It's fruity and refreshing!
And the name is so damn funny.
Joy Juice!

Kind of reminds me of my favorite Japanese beverage name: Calpis. Pronounced like 'cow piss'. Appetizing, no?

I would've pronounced it poo too! =)
And speaking of Calpis, I consisently snickered whenever I saw bottles of Pocari Sweat in vending machines in Japan. It's an electrolytes drink--salty and sweet (yes, of course I had to try it!)

Hi Clare, it's kind of fruity and Mountain Dew-y.
Hi Venitha, my old flatmate was a Japan-lover and she used to keep that Calpis in the fridge. I was never tempted to try it!
Hi AG, that Sweat drink never looks appetising does it? Blegh!

Kickapoo is an Indian tribe in America. I am trying to find the link as to how a drink in Malaysia and Singapore can be named after an Indian tribe miles away. I wonder if they know this

To all those confused with "Kickapoo," the idea is from an American comic book where there is this crazy drink called Kickapoo. The corporation F&N took this and capitalised upon it.
