The Kool Cafe....

Location : A very famous dhaba on Delhi Highway where My bus halts.
Time: 2:43 Am
Situation: Conductor says bus shall move in 10 minutes.Hurry on!

We skip the idea of food, and rather grab some snacks......

My body reckons my mind - 'You haven't had it in last 24 hours. You need your dose. Its important.Do something.'
My eyes gaze all around, searching the counters, Shelves and refrigerators. This place always had those Nescafe cans. They will calm you down.
'No..No! I can't see them anywhere.'
Helplessly, I ask the Uncleji at the counter for the Coffee can.
He puts down a can in front of me.
What the hell is this? I ask myself.
'Shut up' it says. Something is better than nothing. Take it or you will have them again- the headaches.'

Can reads 'AMUL KOOL CAFE' ( What in the holy hell is this?)
Anyways, back in the bus. Can opened. A weird smell enters my nostrils. It is a shit smell.
'Drink it..Just sip on'.

- I bring the can to my lips and take a sip with my eyes closed.
'Aahhhhhhhhhhh..." I scream.
What the fuck is this thing? It tastes like.....
It tastes like Tonnes of amul butter thrown in Creamy milk with some coffee essence..!

In my whole life I have never tasted anything horrible than this,let alone a coffee.
They so cold " Cold Coffees" made by aunties at home with heaps of sugar and little coffee powder are way better than this.

- My hand wobbles and coffee( or whatever it was) spilled on my cousins handkerchief.

Can thrown out.
A can of chilled coke sipped in to get off the dreadful taste of kool Cafe.
Hanky washed and put in bag.......

Time:10:43 Am
Place: Hotel Room , Delhi.

We both wake up as if seen a nightmare in sleep.
" Whats that smell dude?"
" Yeah ! Holy shit..It woke me up from sleep.It is horrible."
" I know..lets find out wheres it coming from or we will die off this."

Search is On. Found the Hanky.
It brings back the haunting memories of " Kool Cafe."
Lighter taken - Handkerchief burnt to ashes...
Prayers Said.
May God forbid Mankind from the Kool Cafe.....

Amen!

PS: All you Ccd,barista, Mocha, Costa fans who swear on Frappes,Iced cappucinnos etc.. I challenge you to drink this. Yes Challenge!

diyadear said...

oops.. sounds real yuckky.. tahn ks for letting us know dude.. wont ever try ti :D

Princess Banter said...

Argh, I know how that feels like! Had quite a few unfortunate experiences myself. Though I agree that luxury coffee brands such as Starbucks and UCC are way overpriced... I can't help but realize that there is a reason why they're highly priced. Don't we all get what we pay for? ;)

Hi,
I am kind of surprised that you found it so offensive.
I can vouch by the taste of it. It tastes splendid.
I guess, you don't like it because it is Indian.

Different Pen said...

Must have been a traumatic experience. Coffee should not be messed with.

Ire said...

eewwwwwww!ok i have been thru this!!! i hate anything that is canned! lolz.

Jeya Anand said...

well...does that taste so bad??? I don't think so!! may be that can was dead beyond the expiry date;)

Anonymous said...

wow so now youve started doin PR for companies as well ...interesting ...even though its a negative article ..AMUL is in the news here ...

anyways kool kafe is the typicall cold coffee for beginners ...its too sweet, the cann hole is too large,its pathetic ....though the choclate flavour is good

Dawn said...

Did u shake it before opening the can???

relations said...

hey..
cool post..
but this is getting good sales and market reviews..
you might have tasted the pirated one(..pirated..?? adulterated i suppose)..
you shoukd give it another try to verify your inference..(only if it isnt fatal)..
