Update: Smart Energy Blood Orange & Chilli not recalled

Posted by Kate Raynes-Goldie · February 27, 2009 · Posted in Locations, Perth, Australia, Weird Drinks 

I was kinda excited when someone named Amelia reported in the comments that a Coles employee told her that the Smart Energy Blood Orange & Chilli had been recalled. This was all I needed to prove that those skinny little cans were filled with chilli flavoured danger and insanity. So, I emailed Spring Valley to ask what was up, and after about a week they replied:

Dear Ms Raynes-Goldie

supplied to smaller retailers only such as Petrol stations and Convenience

I was kinda relieved since I accidently bought a can the other day, thinking it was the Blueberry flavour. And not being one to waste food, I drank it with some spicy pizza, whilst fearing for my life. Now I’m glad it was safe, but, it still tasted mega-ick.
