This week in Paddington, it’s Berocca! What’s Berocca, you ask? Even though the poster makes it look like a tablet you add to water to create instant beer (Why hasn’t anybody come up with that one yet?), Berocca is in fact a tablet you add to water to make Tang. Granted, it’s vitamin-rich Tang that they’re trying to market as an alternative to Red Bull, but it still looks like Tang to me.
The whole fizzy vitamin drink tablet thing is a rip-off from Airborne in the US. I think Airborne is still “healthier” than Berocca, but instead of Tang, it tastes more like Fresca and tonic water. Maybe if you stick one of each in a glass of water you’d get something approaching Sunny Delight… or maybe it would just explode.
