Pobble Popular

I never thought it would take off but bubble drinks are fashionable and increasingly available.  Wild Monk sell cartons of their juice 'pobbles' so you can make up your own drinks with bubbles in.

Bubble at Home

I never thought it would take off in the mainstream market but 'make at home' Bubble Tea kits were getting attention at the recent Food and Drink Expo.

Coconuts, Cucumbers & Coobo

Coconut water was everywhere at IFE.  Low in calories, premium priced it is big in the USA and in the rest of Europe apparently.  I learnt that the real stuff comes from young coconuts, such as the Dr Antonio Martins brand, whilst Coca-Cola have their Zico brand (from concentrate but sadly I preferred the taste).

Qcumber cordial won the best drink innovation award

Coobo is the first bubble tea in a bottle.  An unusual taste sensation.
