Clive: Right, so what’s next Harry?

Harry: Errr, I think we’re gonna do Bawls…

[childish giggling]

Clive: Well, you might…

Harry: That’s B-A-W-L-S… It’s a high-caffeine, guarana soda… so ther you go. We’ve got a couple of flavours to this as well. We’ve got soda flavour and we’ve got cherry flavour… We’ll start off with the soda flavour.

Harry: Right, let’s pour this stuff out…

Mark: Harry’s the barman for the proceedings!

Harry: It’s clear! It’s like, um, crystal Pepsi… If anyone remembers that.


Clive: Hmm, I’m quite burpy after those Jolts…It’s quite gassy, isn’t it?

Rich: Yeah, we could have a belching competition in a minute…

Mark: [The Bawls Soda] Actually smells a lot like sherbet.

Rich: Yeah, that’s sherbet.

Clive: Or, poor lemonade. Not lemony lemoade, that kind of smell.

Harry: Sort of lemonade-ish

Clive: Like really mild Sprite, or something.

Harry: Let’s take a sip…

Mark: OOoo, I dunno about that. It tastes like cream soda.

Harry: Yes! That’s it! It’s a very unflavoured cream soda.

Rich: It’s mild, isn’t it?

Harry: Yeah, that’ not very overpowering at all…

Clive: That’s actually not too bad.

Harry: I could drink that!

Mark: It’s not offensive, is it?

Rich: What’s the caffeine content of that then?

Harry: Caffeine content… [reads can] It doesn’t list it. It just says ‘high’.

Clive: High? Caffeine: high? Like lots?

Harry: Yeah, caffeine: lots.

[laughter]

Clive: That’s a scientific measurement?

Rich: Yeah, just... lots.

Clive: Yeah, let’s just add lots of this..

Rich: How much caffeine are we putting in this batch? Meh, lots? Keep scooping!

Harry: Hmm, that’s not bad though.

Clive: So yeah, we don’t think the blue Bawls is too bad.

Harry: Haha, blue bawls…

[childish giggling]

Clive: But what’s red Bawls gonna be like?

Mark: Probably a bit sore…

[laughter]
