Would You Like Anything With That? Whatever…

Anything? Whatever?

I can foresee this happening in the future between a customer and a waiter.

Sir, would you like Anything with that?
Whatever.
Oh, so you want Whatever?
Anything…
Uh, Sir, do you want Whatever or Anything?
Whatever lah, I’m fine with Anything.

For those who don’t know, “Anything” is the new carbonated canned drink made locally in Singapore. There’s no indication of what’s inside, so you just have to guess what’s inside. It could be cola, cola with lemon, apple, fizz up (?), cloudy lemon, or root beer. “Whatever” is the non-carbonated counterpart, and may contain ice lemon tea, peach tea, jasmine green tea, white grape tea, apple tea, or chrysanthemum tea. (According to Keropokman)

    This is really a creative company….

    Since most of drink customer just don’t care what to drink, they make the “common answer” become a brand name. Wonderful. :-)

    HgS: Yeah, but on the other hand, it’s gonna cause a lot of difficulties when people say one of those words (”Whatever” or “Anything”), because the meaning becomes ambiguous.
